I know this story is getting big when my non-gaming friends are posting about it on Facebook. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCV6RusogAk This thing was literally sitting in his dad's attic for 22 years. 803,000 views on Youtube in only 3 days is pretty amazing for something that I figured only shut-in technoweenies such as myself would care about. Most are guessing it's easily going to fetch 6 figures. And in a more cruel version of "what's in the locked safe", he has no idea what game is on the CD or what game is on the SNES cart. The cancelled Secret of Mana SNES CD? Some poo poo tech demo? Speculate here.

That's pretty cool. Only thing I ever found in my attic was this box of old stamps with misprints on them. Gave them to my nephew to do crafts with.

Looks cool on an SNES, at least. I remember my Discman had that. Son of Rodney posted:this guy is gonna make bank when he ultimately sells it Figures estimated between 100k and 400k.

Last time I read about it he was looking for a power cable. Was he able to turn it on? Could it play PS1 CDs ?

I remember Mario 64 was originally in development as an SNES game - I still want to see how horrible that must have looked.

Nope, the name "PlayStation" was just what Sony wanted to call the SNES CD. They simply re-used the same name later on. There's no other similarities.

I really wonder what's inside it, supposedly it all got thrown out when Sony and Nintendo went seperate ways. Does it use MIPS? Z80? MOS6502? I'm glad Nintendo were such dicks towards Sony though, I can't imagine a world without Playstations Still the best one

Decebal posted:Wouldn't any DC 5V thing work ? why is it so complicated? It uses a similar power adapter as the PC Engine (Japanese TurboGrafix) and ironically, the miniature PSone; it's 7.6V. That's the only two consoles I can think of (besides this SNES CD) that use that. Decebal posted:I thought that the PS1 was just this technology packaged under the Sony name so you could throw a game in it and it would at least read it Nope, the technical docs were leaked not that long ago. It was an add-on for the SNES. No similarities between it and the Playstation aside from the name. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4cc2TZRufDtWERQV2FHZFhFaU1odEdTbWlTTHB1REJRNXdr/view error1 posted:I really wonder what's inside it, supposedly it all got thrown out when Sony and Nintendo went seperate ways.

Oh yeah I'm also really glad that Nintendo chose to backstab Sony by going to Philips, who went on to create the clearly superior CD-I and subsequently blessing the world with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLQ8Mqyf8sw

I hope whoever buys it dumps the BIOS, the cartridge ROM and the CD image - it would finally give SNES emulator devs a new project to work on.

error1 posted:Oh yeah I'm also really glad that Nintendo chose to backstab Sony by going to Philips, who went on to create the clearly superior CD-I and subsequently blessing the world with this I read once that Sony tried to sneak in fine print that they owned the rights to any IP for games released on the SNES CD which is why Nintendo went on without them. I mean Sony still won out on that deal but supposedly it was Sony who was doing the backstabbery. No clue if it's true though.
