US wtb: dev hardware. lots.

Yeah with the whole activation bs it's nearly not worth the time yet. I sold my PTEL vita for the same reason last year.

 

I have to admire Sony for at least making the effort this time. Got any dreamcast stuff?

 

Nah. I have Nintendo, Sony and Xbox mostly. I have some random Atari dev stuff, I have an Ouya Dev Kit somewhere as well as the dev unlocked GameStick. Yeah, that thing no one else bought, lol. I wouldn't mind branching to Dreamcast but I initially only did Xbox stuff hence the name. So I'm slowly but surely diversifying.

 

I want a dreamcast dev system for some stuff. Those things used to be everywhere. But that was like 2003

 

Yeah. Sadly I did not grab one on two separate occasions when I had the chance. Maybe some day but I'll pay dearly for one I'm sure compared to years back. I've been in the shadows of this stuff for well over a decade now.

 

The NPDP GameCube is high on my list

 

Brown or red?

 

Irrelevant to me, unless they function differently

 

They do. Red takes the weird dynamite plunger looking carts while the brown resembles the retail or NR Reader.

 

You mean the normal arcade board, or the Sophia ST-V development board? That latter is a monster.

 

red then. Thats the one im looking for

 

lol normal

 

Just thought I would point out that the brown GameCube is a TDEV.

 

Wait, so would you be interested in a DVT4 then? I've got one with a dead disc drive, never been opened up. Since you're cool with opening a sealed console you could just buy mine and then replace the drive.

 

My Xbox "Debug kit" consists of a retail case with a reflashed Chihiro mainboard in it (just the TSOP reflashed with an untouched debug kit boot ROM) - all the official tools (including the recovery disc) work on it with no problems.

 

That actually sounds pretty awesome. I used to have four Chihiro boards but sold them all off a while ago.

 

As far as I can see, it behaves identically to a real debug kit - I was a bit concerned about the EEPROM, but it didn't seem to matter - it was either reprogrammed by the recovery disk or it's not used.

 

does the chihiro have a similar board?

 

Yeah. Almost always the same. Some have 64 ram vs 128 but the three I had were all Devkit boards.

 

Hello XboxSurgeon, I may be interested by your PS3 test kit

And by a NPDP reader if you have one (haha).
