I need T'ai Fu in my veins! lol Seriously this is amazing, I really want to see more footage or the dump of this! I wonder if it's the build sent to magazines where he has ligher blue pants and the HUD had this huge health bar. What you've shown so far is totally different from the final game, all the screens and the map itself are different (that loading screen is so much cooler than the final one, what the heck??) Also noticed some unknown locations on that map like "Rabbit village"?? No such thing in the final, there aren't even any rabbits! So this would definitely be interesting to see you cover it!

Personally, I'd love to see hear if there are any differences in the Brigandine, Legacy of Kain, and Rayman builds. I imagine Brigandine is just localization due to it being a Japanese RPG and being a large game, so you don't have to look too deep.

Always good to be regular

It is always good to dump pre-release games, no matter how obscure or weird or unremarkable a game is. No matter what the game is, there is always a chance there are people who would be interested in seeing prototypes for the game. I myself love to see prototypes for random 2000s Disney tie in games, there’s always a potential audience for prototypes for anything. Great work from you guys.

EXACTLY! Every game, good or bad, exciting or boring, deserves to be preserved for anyone to enjoy.

Well shit, you are correct.

the Red disc is for your retail Sega Saturn to run burned discs of only 1st Party SEGA games, while the KD02 (Black Disc) runs only 3rd Party made games, and the KD00 (Blue Disc) can do both! So that way you don't need to own a Saturn dev kit to run 'em. Also there is a PC app that can patch 3rd party games to become "1st party" games and vise versa with the black one.

Sure would enjoy a video about dumping games with the Wii U development kit. These are the kind of videos that are for a small but important audience that makes for more future content.

Actually i think quite a few people would have been interested in the Mario and Sonic video; those games have a larger then you think fan base. But honestly YT would screw it in the algorithm, so i get it.

It was just long enough between shooting this and it being posted that I forgot I even made that plane joke. I hit myself out of left field with it.

Imagine a Net Yaroze Decomp project to make some kind of modern GB Studio-like PS1 development environment.

I'd prefer if something entirely new was made And tbh, I've never seen anything impressive coming out from GB Studio and I don't like the fact it's only compatible with HUGEtracker

8:44 - The person who burned that disc did a good thing by writing on the center ring instead of the actual disc label. Sharpie and other similar markers will eventually chew through the disc, damaging the burned data below the written portion. I have a lot of older cd-rs that were ruined because I wrote their contents with a sharpie. The same can happen to cd-rs that have paper labels stuck to them (the glue can come undone and take some of the backing with it.) It's SUPER important to back up all of these discs now. These are all over 20 years old, and even if the brands claimed they were meant to last a long time... no one expected them to last 20 years.

Oh wow, lotta cool stuff in this one. Need to see more of that Tai Fu build, thought I'd seen everything from it!

I would agree that disc of Brigandine is an actual official burned disc. I used to work freelance as a reviwer and walkthrough writer during the PS1 era in the UK. I have many discs like that from the devs which just have simple text written by disc marker with limited info like that. Very common indeed.

EZ-O-Ray and caetla

some interesting bits here. I remember reading about the net yaroze in game mags and kinda wanting one! I remember playstation underground occasionally had yaroze-made demos, I specifically remember 'cool beans'? was like a puzzle game like columns or something.

The youtube algorithm must be off or something, I mostly see your new videos on facebook. Love these videos and what you guys do!

I would love for ya video going into that Saturn disc that allows you to boot dev discs on retail ! Also PLEASE make a video on the Mario and Sonic Wii U Discs !

i'd be interested in sega rally (music differences intrigue me) and the mario and sonic game (i played one of the ds ones, and remember liking it).

I think you should do more videos like this where you go into minute differences in builds that are overall uninteresting but becomes interesting when you rapid-fire a bunch of these types of tidbits

When you talked about dumping Wii U, i felt that because i somehow knew that there wouldn't be enough instructions for beta stuff there, i knew how to dump retail and the thing was easy, and it was THE instruction, and THE software, and a few discussions, the community is small. I remember searching about the Wii U Gamepad unused port and found an answer with a demonstration, but then i couldn't find it again.

Hello So, i hear thst you guys are preserving the games and such. That's awesome! Being unfamiliar with your channel, im curious as to what method standards and equipment you are using for your dumps. As a saturn dumper/preservationist/enthusiast, i want to see all things saturn. Im also a old school era PlayStation 1 "scene" fan who remembers the action replay/GameShark hacks and probably still has some of those tools and software around in some archives. XiaNaiX forums for the win.

Bless your hearts, the Saturn and Dreamcast are beyond incredible and the only consoles i need.

Video on Brigandine could be interesting, could make it into a review or something if the dump itself doesn't turn out to have any visible differences.

would be very interested in a video showing off the mario & sonic builds!

I wound to corssover videos Adam Koralik since his Dreamcast Dev kits cound help with with the dumping. I wound also love an corssover video with The Gaming Historian since this cound fix some holes in his videos for exepull The Dreamcast's Mil-CD Loop Hole was part of Bleem's story.

Score! I found yet another treasure of a channel!!!!! Liked and subbed. The youtube gaming community is so rad.

Yeaah, i used to mod wiis for my friends and you arent kidding. The wii and wii u homebrew methods, while easy and great, seem to work based on their personal mood atm lol.

Great video! I actually have a Wii U development disc with some text stamped onto it that I obtained working my job at a local video game store!
