Shown here are some of the Retro Game Development kits I’ve covered on my channel over the years. Some I have yet to tackle, and many more new acquisitions have been added into the arsenal. It’s going to be a fun summer.😎🤘#Nintendo #Atari #gamedev #n64 #gamecube #3DS #gameboy

For anyone wondering what machine all my MIPS R8000 LLM kernel optimization posts are about, it’s the one on the right. SGI Power Challenge Deskside, maxed out: 6x 90MHz MIPS R8000 CPUS 2GB RAM Maybe I will do a tour post soon and talk about the R8000.

@mov_axbx Hey chief, I’m hoping you might be able to toss me some photos of the side panel support clips from your ONYX or from the Challenge? 🙏🤞🏻 The small plastic clips that hold the side panel skins. I had all x24 that are issued with the Onyx Deskside model and ai had them in a ziplock when transporting it. The bag was lost in transit. So I’m hoping to possibly 3D Print some to replace them. (I think these clips are the same for both Onyx and Challenge.) I’ve been trying to source replacement parts but as you can imagine, SGI Onyx parts are not easy to come by. Any chance you could take some photos of one of the clips? Front & back view with ruler 📏 for reference? 🙏🤞🏻 It would be awesome to potentially 3D print some replacements.😎👍

あーなんかこんな機材で開発してたな ハドソン製のPCE用のキャラツールがPC98用で、このハードで98と繋いでね ゲーム画面はテレビにしか出力できないけど、ドット絵をこれに転送できたんだっけか このツールがすごい使いやすくて、ファミコンもGBもドット絵は全部これで作ってましたね

Shown here is an Ultra Rare Turbo Grafx-16 / PC-Engine Midi Audio Development kit entitled: “Hu7D Midi” 😎🤘 Very little is known about this particular devkit, with limited documentation available. The only photos found online were from an old collector’s blog posting based out of Japan (1998). The backup screenshots below show off the kit hardware and its Midi interface. If anyone has additional details, photos or documentation on this devkit, please do reach out.👍 #NEC #PCEngine #TurboGFX16 #gamedev #retrogaming

This is the Hu7 #PCEngine Development Kit. Designed by #Hudson Soft. for use with an NEC PC-98xx computer station. It supported real-time debugging,texture and MIDI music previewing. The Dev box housed a backplane PCBA for connecting memory and interface boards.😎🤘#RETROGAMING

“For those interested, here is a promotional video from early 1989 featuring NEC's new PC-Engine CD-ROM system, games, and technology. It has a few lame ads for the first couple of PCE-CD games, but then gets far more interesting, as it shows the CD game development process at Hudson and RED, including graphic design, scanning, art, audio recording, voice recording: the works! We also get a great, if brief, glimpse of PCE dev hardware and computer software. The games being worked on at this time in the video are Tengai Makyou and Cobra, and it's a fascinating look into the early years of multimedia game design.”👀👇 youtu.be/YDgEMeubib4?si=igOm…

Back in 2022 we managed to get the Nintendo N64 Gateway host software released. That was one for the archives.😎🤘#Nintendo #N64 #Gateway #retrogaming

We’ve preserved the Gateway 64 host software! For those who don’t know, the Gateway 64 was the system powering the Lodgenet Nintendo 64 service for hotel guests. This software could be used alongside debug units and could also convert games to be compatible with units for hotels!

Starting to trace ground and VCC, and out of curiosity I wanted to see if the connector is similar to any PC Cards in my parts bin. While not an exact pin count match, the pin pitch matches IBM MCA exactly. This will make finding the correct connector for a test bench much easier

Obscure Nintendo Gateway hardware found at an aviation conference in Canada. 🤯🤘 Sitting on a vendors table at a convention along with other "scrap" PCBs from avionics systems, used as decor. The Nintendo Gateway boards like those shown here were designed to interface with the IFE "in-flight entertainment" system in the late 90s. #Nintendo #Gateway #SNES #retrogaming Details from the link below:👇 m.facebook.com/groups/retroc…
