BehindTheCode with Gerry

This is the Sega 32X CartDev Development Kit. A Monitor-Based development system released by Sega in 1994 to its developers. 😎🤘#sega #32X #gamedev #retrogaming

Additional Shots from the halls of Atari (Circa 1980’s) 👇

During the era of the Atari 2600, programmers primarily used DEC PDP-11 minicomputers, connected to an in-house "black box" hardware development system and logic analyzer. They entered code in 6502 assembly on a TeleVideo 950 terminal and cross-assembled it on the PDP-11. The compiled binary was then sent via a serial line to their in-house "black box”. This dev box contained RAM memory cards, a prototype #Atari 2600 with TV monitor port for testing. #gamedev #retrogaming

@halo_dude 😄🤘… still under repair. It’s been on the back burner for some time.

@_BehindTheCode Wow :D Dont tell me you have the Sega Katana too? :D

This is the #Sony PSVita PDEL-1001 Development kit.😎🤘 The handheld shown here is loaded with firmware version 3.6x. There was also a TEST version of this kit released by Sony, the PTEL-1001 available to developers. #PSVita #gamedev #gamedevelopment #retrogaming

@reinhs No worries. 😄👍

@_BehindTheCode Wow, unexpected! I was thinking it was an Atari history book or retro computer book I'd missed. Good on Nat Geo! Thank you Sir.

@reinhs I believe it was a digital scan from the 1983 book release of “How Things Work” by National Geographic society (U.S.) 👀👇 ebay.io/m/RvIXjT

@_BehindTheCode Very cool! Do you know what book it shown in the second picture?

@machonachomedia @Retoro_Gamer @PCBWayOfficial @luzooki 👍

@_BehindTheCode @Retoro_Gamer @PCBWayOfficial @luzooki 💯

New video is LIVE! This week I travel to Japan to pick up one of the rarest CRT/Console Combo ever made. The question is, can I bring it home safely? Video Link 👉 youtu.be/Zk0Nk1KJuSc Huge thank you to @PCBWayOfficial and @luzooki for sponsoring this week's video!

@Valinye Sweet burner setup. 😎👌

@_BehindTheCode And even into the early 2000's. Slightly newer vintage, but a lot of it was still SCSI at this time because SCSI was so easy to bend to your will. :)

SCSI-2 was the high-speed data transfer medium of choice for many game development systems used throughout the 90’s.😎🤘 Intelligent-Systems and SN-Systems development hardware for Nintendo 64 is the perfect example. #retrogaming #N64 #gamedev #Nintendo #gamedevelopment

@supersat Ahh yes, perhaps the SN-Systems cartridges. They do require a donor cartridge for the CIC chip. 👇

@_BehindTheCode am I thinking of another N64 dev cart that doesn't have one?

Here’s something you don’t see everyday… (x3) PARTNER-N64 development cartridges…side by side.😎🤘#Nintendo #N64 #gamedev #retrogaming

@supersat It actually has a CIC internally. The top cartridge slot is for a special IPL cartridge for 64DD development. Watch a demo of it here: 👇 youtu.be/drdrkxFvsL8?si…

@_BehindTheCode it's wild that these required a licensed game to be plugged in to them Surely Nintendo could just sprinkle some CIC chips onto the PARTNER-N64 boards??

@308Greenfield Lol…😄 indeed!

@_BehindTheCode Nice unit! Looks like it needs a bath 🤣🍻

@halo_dude 👀👇

@_BehindTheCode You must have a lot of gear! No doubt it cost a small fortune too. What other goodies do you have?

@EquineForm In time…yes for sure.😎🤘

@_BehindTheCode Please keep updating with pics and progress; if you can. Are you posting any of the repairs/findings on YouTube?

@_BehindTheCode You dumped them, right? :)

@W00fer Nice! 😄👌

@_BehindTheCode Never seen it inside. The dvd emulator would be nice to emulate with fpga :)

This is the PlayStation 2 TOOL DTL-T10000H Development System from Japan.😎🤘 Unit came with (x2) original hard drives and an SN-Systems DTL-14000 DVD-Emulator card. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #retrogaming
