Uh oh, looks like Star Wars Arcade (32X) (Prototype - Sep 06, 1994) (hidden-palace.org).bin built wrong. Its all Odd bytes :\ (even bytes are duplicates of odd bytes)

These two, Doom (32X) (Prototype - Oct 08, 1994) and Doom (32X) (Prototype - Oct 08, 1994) (E) are the same ROm same CRC32. Also this is the PAL Final version. Was this one, Doom (32X) (Prototype - Oct 08, 1994) supposed to be the NTSC Final and not a dupe of the PAL Final?

edit: also

just fyi

36 Great Holes starring Fred Couples (32X) (Prototype - Dec 21, 1994) 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples (32X) (JU) [!]
wrong checksum in header 0000, is only difference

wrong checksum in header 0000, is only difference

Doom (32X) (Prototype - Oct 08, 1994) = Doom (32X) (E) [!]
mistake? should it have been the (JU) [!] instead of dupe of PAL ver above?

Sorry if it's been reported, but did anyone notice that there are wrongly named files? I haven't played all the games, but "Streets of Rage 3 (Prototype - Feb 24, 1994) (hidden-palace.org).bin" it's "World Heroes". Also, "Young Indiana Jones - Instrument of Chaos (Prototype - Dec 28, 1993) (hidden-palace.org).rar" could be from 1994 instead of 1993 (taking into account that all releases are dated from 1994), but I'm not sure.

So, we can see that this machine had an assembler (of course), a Watcom tablet, and a sound card. I don't see anything that may have been used for music development, though. The machine appears to have run DOS and Windows 3.1 (we have both C:\DOS and C:\WINDOWS in the path, and a WINDIR variable).

Watcom isn't a tablet, it's an x86 C compiler.

[drx]

Yeah, I realize some of these are finals, I said that in my newspost. I included them so people could see the build dates.

[Aurochs]

oh. durr. I was thinking of Wacom. EMBARRASSING

Yeah its just the fact that their labled as prototype so you don't know that their final.. I listed them for the hell of it in case any one is interested.

However, like I mentioned Star Wars Arcade (32X) (Prototype - Sep 06, 1994) was built/combined bad, its all odd bytes (even bytes are duplicate of odd bytes. any chance of a fix?

[Genocide City Zone]

Thanks alot DRX, Sooooo many betas/prototypes/whatever

Not to sound cheeky, but on hidden-palace you say you have some Sonic Adventure DC prototypes, any information on these

[Quexinos]

Hey, yeah with a SA DC prototype maybe we could find that long lost dragon...

OH yeah we all ready did =D

[Lukeozade]

OMG DRX IS AMAZING-ER

Just kidding, but he is still epic.

Amazing work DRX, this many protos must be a sign for the best in this forum!

[Genocide City Zone]

Sorry to post this here DRX but I can't send PM's, are you interested in PSX beta's??

After looking through bioflames (RE1.5 site) and the mess that happened with that game, someone called "RedfieldC_86" claims to have a beta of MGS1, quite an early one according to him

this is all I could find at the moment
http://www.bioflames...opic.php?t=2944

im not much help donation wise, but I figured you might be interested

[FozzY2K]

Ahh. I decide to check Sonic Cult after many months/years of not going there and I see on the news page that the almighty drx has released over 1000 sega prototypes. Simply amazing. I have a lot of catching up to do!

[Hivebrain]

What disc image format are the Gamecube protos, and what program was used to create them?

[Overlord]

The images are .gcm files. What created them is anyone's guess.

[evilhamwizard]

Okay, this made me laugh hysterically. First of all, let's take a look at one Pico game called "Huckle and Lowly's Busiest Day Ever (Pico) (Prototype - Mar 02, 1994) (hidden-palace.org)". Who want's to guess what it's actually called?

FSEGA PICO ©SEGA 1993.JUNHello Kitty no Tanoshii Butoukai HPC-6002-00 C^

But it's not Hello Kitty...



Everyone should remember this show from NickJr back then. But this isn't what's making me laugh.

Take a listen. (This is in VGM format)

This programmer must've loved Michael Jackson. :P

I refuse to put WinAMP on my computer....but I remember the show, the game, and that music....and I remember thinking MJ when I heard it. I was very confused. EDIT: Yeah, still confused....I remember this not fitting at all and it still doesn't. The song sounds better in Moonwalker btw.


Bah, I'm desperate, why the hell not, I've been missing out on a few other songs. I'll use winamp just for VGM+ other formats.
