Man its still working to this date!!! Yet my 360 RRODed after 4months
Mone Sabri my 360 even messed up every single disc. Then microsoft said it was the customers mistake, which in return i chose to never ever buy one of their consoles again..
Mone Sabri my DS Lite's screen started dieing after 5 years. RIP: Black DS Lite 2007-2016
Milkyway2099 Well consoles are for children because they are simple and don't need to be assembled. But I could see the appeal of having a portable console as well but I would prefer a laptop
Sheeeeeeeeeeeet!
Kanto Raticate the 2017 Ford Transit I’m glad my DS Lite still works. The folding joints on it are a bit loose but it works.
Imagine if this came true back in the day. We'd be playing Uncharted and Zelda on the same console today.
J-Ryder not necessarily... It'd need a better CPU, GPU, etc
LanCeeXD Ofcourse, we would have a powerful console to play Sony games as well as Nintendo games. It would be called a Nintendo Sony, the NS, oh wait I just realized the NS, similar to Nintendo Switch :O
Foreal by that time we would have been way advanced buddy lol and they would have kept the Nintendo Playstation name. Nintendo missed a huge marketing revenue there.
J-Ryder If this had kept going back in the day there wouldn't be any Sony games this thing failing is the reason Sony makes games.
mostly likely had this happened we probably wouldn't even have uncharted today and other PlayStation exclusives
Anyone remember the scene in Back to the Future 2 where Doc Brown explains a skewed time line in which two time lines exist with completely different time events which occurred due to time travel alteration?
Take a good look guys, these two men are holding the very point in which the time line could have skewed, and the video game industry probably would be in a very different place than it is now.
No, they're time travellers who visited an alternate timeline and brought this machine back for fame and fortune. Seems like a sports almanac would have worked a little better, but hey, they wanted to be more original...
What u mean it exists in our time line just never relesed
Nelson Ortiz he’s saying had it been released the video game industry could have changed to something other than it is now
IM HAPPY THAT THE IDEA DIED, BECAUSE THE PLAYSTATION AS WE KNOW IT CAME TO BE, AND THIS IS WAY BETTER!
Mistakes arent always bad
Yellowing on the front, I see the part Nintendo contributed lol.
it is because of a chemical that is mixed in the plastic to be not flamable. if it reacts with sunlight it turns yellow. it's not an only nintendo phenomenon. all item made with this chemical turns yellow sooner or later. I think thats why the industry is producing most plastic in black now so the problem is solved.
@@TheGrandWizardKing That was actually some really valuable insight, may be the first thing I actually learnt on the internet today (aside from this video). Thanks stranger!
@@TheGrandWizardKing lol? Yellow will disappear if you put it on sunlight for 2-3 days. You can also get rid of yellow by using ultraviolet lamp for just 8 hours. What are you talking about?
@@NormanFoxLee its not that easy at all. You need hydrogen peroxide and UV light to effectively bleach the plastic back to being it's original colour
God your profile picture is fucking ugly...

Always great to get a good look at what may have been. Cheers to preserving a piece of gaming history!
ok then
But you can just emulate one tho... If you know what I mean ;)
epsxe is better
+bob robin But it's good that the physical prototype exists, that's the point, the historical value :)
Oh how the performance on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ on Mario kart wii almost 60fps!
I love how they sat on the floor like two kids, with the dad watchingg over their shoulders. Very nostalgic scene right there.
That lucky bastard got it for 75 dollars of all prices! Wonder how much it's worth now since it's confirmed real and is the only one in existence
+Cryo9 Shadow its priceless! its one of a kind so hard to put a price on it
+Erik Heidema Is it even legal to sell? I seen someone have a prototype of the PS3 and it says it's illegal to sell
+Cryo9 Shadow They turned down an offer for $45,000
+JAH Videos why would it be illegal to sell ? I highly doubt it would be, when something is as rare as it is usually the company the made it buys it, such as Levi's bought a pair of their very fair jeans for an absurd amount of money.
James Cooper Well I seen someone buy Play Station concepts and he said it's illegal but he got away with it and it has stickers saying it must not be sold. Judging from the fact that Sony have acknowledged it's real though and not said anything goes to show they can probably sell it
This reminds me of when I was young I imagined a console called the 'Super Sega Saturn 64'... I asked my dad once if he could build it for me in his shed!
Did he
in an alternate universe the console wars were nintendo vs xbox
if sony never released their own console,then xbox wouldn't even existed,
instead it will be nintendo vs sega
Probably THE holy grail of video gaming. This is cooler than the landfill that was dug up to confirm that Atari did bury some of their shit in 1983. The fact is, this SHOULDN'T exist, but it does. Anyone can go and bury their shit that did make it to retailer shelves any given time they feel like doing so!
Oh the possibilities...
I've seen the ark of the covenant.
+OBE1plays Sony was trying to screw Nintendo over and Nintendo was trying to screw Sony over during this deal. It was made to fall through. Both sides were too power hungry.
+Muzic Kidd
I doubt either side was power hungry.
Not power hungry, a better word would be greedy.
Kind of means the same think but okay.
Amazing! After all these years, we finally see that a working prototype exists, and made it into the general publics hands, and that they were generous enough to share a video of it.
Now if we could get the sole owner of PC Cocoron for the PC Engine Super CD to share a video of the completed (but never released) game, that would be great!
What game was that?
Symbolizes the mistake that Nintendo made with Philips. Nintendo took the blue pill.
+dudamara Actually both collaborations between Nintendo and Sony and Nintendo and Philips fell through, it's why the N64 used cartridges.
I'd say Nintendo were right to pull out of the Sony deal, but Sony had the last laugh...
...as for Philips... whatever happened to Philips?
+GeoNeilUK The mistake that Nintendo made was going with Philips and licensing the Zelda franchise for them to butcher. it's a good thing philips went away rather quietly with their CD-i. can you imagine zelda licensed to sony?!
Dudamara Dudama The Zelda licence was the sweetener for Nintendo's deal with Philips going sour. I don't know exactly what the Philips deal with Nintwndo was going to be, but if it went ahead, the CD-i wouldn't have existed as it did.
With the proposed Sony PlayStation, Nintendo would still have made Mario 64 for the Sony add-on (probably called Mario CD) but Sony would have made all the money from it.
As for the CD-i Zelda games? Well, they kind of summed up the CD-i didn't they?Though I guess Philips had more of a clue than Commodore, who released the CDTV (bascially an Amiga 2000 minus the hard drive but with an added CD ROM drive) and instructed every single dealer *NOT* to sell it as an Amiga. I can;t comment on the States as the Amiga wasn't very popular over there anyway, but it would have been easy money in Europe where the Amiga was challenging Sega and Nintendo.
+GeoNeilUK
I wouldn't really say that Sony got the last laugh. Nintendo is financially healthier by far and dominate the handheld market that Sony has only had mediocre success in at best.
+DerPafferfish Mediocre success where? Not in the gaming market. Sony's Playstation is doing great and is actually keeping SONY healthy.
I remember reading and seeing this in a Egm magazine/Gamepro article back in 1993. This is the real thing. This video is part two to that old article.
It's really neat to see it running and playing games. I really wonder if any prototype CDs were ever produced for it also. Even if not, it would be interesting to see what that system was capable of achieving, say through homebrew software running in emulation.
+Eric Wood Yeah, exactly... I wonder if it could actually play PSX games with the CD mode enabled.... Whatever the case, it's awesome how they found a very unique and working piece of video gaming history.
Steve Kovoc
No, I don't think it's PSX-compatible. It would need its own games.
Eric Wood
Yeah, I kinda figured. I was just kinda curious about that.
+Eric Wood Sadly, trying to create homebrew CD games for it with nothing but the hardware would be pretty much impossible. Existing systems that have a homebrew community were typically well-understood through the acquisition of official development kits (of which the Nintendo Playstation has none found), developers who did professional development for the console (again, none here) or outright support from the console manufacturer (not holding my breath). A developer unfortunately wouldn't even know where to begin with this thing. We don't even know what hardware is in there, and I doubt the owner is going to be breaking it open anytime soon. The only tiny glimmer of hope is that there is probably a 1 in a million chance a dev kit and SDK documentation could be found in someone's attic. So, sad as it may be, I guess we will have to be satisfied with the boot-up screen.
+Eric Wood No, what's neat is the splash screen and messages, or anything else that is exclusive to THIS console. There's nothing "neat" about Super Nintendo games running. If you're that easily amused, go buy an SNES for $20 and be amazed until your heart's content.
That GRIN when they said he could turn it on ..:D ..Only a gamer would have a grin that big about pushing a console button for the first time ...
+InkDropFalls Dude I was cheesing so hard along with him when that part came up
Went to a retro games expo this year and it was featured. So unique.
shouldn't this legendary console be on a museum?...this machine must cost millions now.
He could put it in a museum.
But that could be a family heirloom for generations.
If he doesn't sell it.
For the right price. People shouldn't be expected to just give their valuables to museums.
Litigious Society some right minded people do, some things have no price, i know some guys that put all of they collection in a museum in Houston texas.
Satsuki Kiriyuin most likely it will go in a museum
PC MASTERBATER Everything has a price. If people want to be generous, then that's their prerogative, but when generosity is demanded, then it isn't gratitude of the recipient, it's coercion or force.
Besides, a private collection is no different than a museum, it just has different rules for how it is displayed.

Someone get 8 bit guy to fix the yellowing.
That'd decrease the value
Unfortunately, cleaning the yellowing makes the plastic more brittle and likely to break. Best just to live with it.
The Restoration of Dr Who or make a mold of the plastic pieces
Eastwood Unforgiven NO.
Ye
I remember hearing about this unicorn of a console back when Playstation first came to be in the 90's when I was a kid. I never thought there would be a day that I would see one. Though I always assumed somewhere out there in the world there had to be SOMEONE who had one of these stashed away.
The way they don't treat it like what it is makes me scared. Dude. Don't put it on your lap, put it on a glass box please. You're gonna break that fossil. It's the missing link. Treat it with INCREDIBLE care.
I'm just grateful that they know what it is and how valuable it is, and didn't throw it away. Probably what happened to any of the other prototypes.
Who cares? it looks like when they were making it it was in a room filled with smoke anyway.
Terry Diebold just passed away.
RIP you legend
I remember I've read things on magazines about this, way before the ps1 came out. It was like '91.
I think it's perfectly find to use it. In fact I do know devices that break because they're not being used. or because of dust or the sheer reaction of components to the oxygen.
Insane. Wish we'd get to see more of the bios and settings screen we saw very little of. Does it have it's own boot sound/music? Does it play audio CDs?
+AdrianDX From the article, the audio isn't working, and the CD drive doesn't seem to work either. Either it's a faulty cartridge (which has the BIOS), or something else is faulty.
Ah. Thanks for the info :)
+KiiroBomber From what article? Can you give me a link?
KOTYAR0 From Engadget's article.
Bios cartridge is dumped
Honestly this is some of the most amazing shyt i ever seen in my life.
With the product being so finalized I'd be really amazed that it's the only one in existence. They're still out there!
I wonder what Nintendo and Sony will think when they find out about this.
Him leaving it on his knee made me nervous
I like how the super nintendo part on the bottom is even yellowing. lol
Isn't that like the only one in existence?
Yes it is probably the only known one. Many were created but after the collaboration with Sony ended the units were supposed to have been destroyed but as this example proves some devs took them home etc. So though this is the only known one there maybe more in the wild. Physical value would be very low but I wouldn't be surprised to see this fetch in excess of $100,000 in auction. This ofc will only have that sort of value to the most hardcore of collectors. If a rare nes game can sell for $99K then a console that shouldn't really exist could fetch stupid money.
+Emexrulsier there are a few Pentium 4 PowerMac dev machines left as well for the same reason, they kept them when they should have returned them to Apple in 2006
It wouldn't suprise me if Nintendo had a few of them lying around in their vaults.
Definitely not the only one in existence. At the point that Sony and Nintendo were at before Nintendo fucked them over, they would had many of these built. They are still would extremely rare.
there should be more prototypes. i think they are stil in possesion of sony, or destroyed after nintendo canceled the project. game magazine THE EDGE published them in somewhere in 93.
Imagine if Nintendo and Sony would put their heads together now and actually start manufacturing these. they would sell like hot cakes
That's weird, my Dad's got one of these in the attic.
proof
I didn't know what it was. I just gutted it and installed Atari Jaguar hardware into it as the case looked nicer.
My attic is made out of them.
my attic is one of those consoles..
pics or tit didn't fappen
Going to see it at MGC 2018! Super excited!
That console is like an ultra rare legendary artifact.
You know they packin' hella heat to protect from robbers now that they shown their faces.
Haha they really need protection from over grown nerds? I doubt it
MORE videos on this console please.
+Amir Amran Seriously. They didn't even put a disc in it or say what it can actually do. More informationnnnnn
I remember reading this one article and one of the guys said that the disk drive didn't work.
Love how he is just holding it on his leg where it could fall off and break, when its basically a priceless relic. lol
hahaha :) great one.
Dude is wearing a Mr Sparkle t-shirt. Makes the video even better :D
did you guys heard the fart at 00:01:56? right after he said video.
yes
farting from his mouth?? watch him - his mouth is opening and closing for the length of the "fart". it is him saying "umm"
After careful analysis, I too have come to the conclusion that this is indeed a fart
GozUnlimited lol i was eating with my brother beside me, and i slap him thinking it was him.
Sasque Uchija he said um
Absolutely insane price they got it for; $75 for this historical treasure! If I were them, I'd give my asking price at $500,000 minimum; it's a prototype of an eventual gaming dynasty!
I'm conflicted that Nintendo abandoned the project; on one hand, they would have been involved in the Sony dynasty, on the other, Nintendo is not credited for this console despite the SNES architecture remaining. I think Nintendo might have went with the right decision to just create their own consoles, despite Sony outselling their future consoles (sans Wii) as they still have their name on their consoles.
But then again, they decided to go with Phillips instead. LOL
+PinMike they dropped philips
+PinMike Nintendo gone paranoid and went to betray Sony with Philips, that is why this machine never came to exist.
+PinMike funny thing is, after the Nintendo partnership fell apart Sony worked with Sega to make a CD based console with them, and that fell apart as well. Sony took engineering from both Nintendo AND Sega when they made the PlayStation
+PinMike Nintendo had absolutely no way of knowing that the Playstation would be a thing, let alone a "dynasty". They thought one thing when they saw the prototype: "It's a platform that can play all our precious games and more, and our name is nowhere on it."
That is so amazing it was sitting in that office what a great find
The Legend is real!!!
I know it's a prototype, but i think it actually looks pretty badass and classy. The bios was apparently leaked and a homebrew game was ported to it.
Imagine if more people get into it and a small community based around enveloping for this thing happens? Crazy thing to say, but crazy things happen.
Glad you found my old PlayStation! As u can see on the front, I peed on it
Woaah, i'm impressed to to see this working, but I would see more about the CD fonctionalities and see the CD's.
So dope to see people smiling & enjoying that unicorn

It was marketed as the SNES-CD in magazines in the 90's.
he spills coke on it
The machine goes crazy .
Why ? does it like pepsi ?
I mean, there was a pepsi videogame on the playstation, not a coca cola one.

@@Douken good for those guys! :D
I remember one of My childhoodfriend had a snes playstation controller... dont know if one of them were rare... if yes, I hope he still have it...
To make a long story short when I cleared the building I brought it home with me. It looked like something my family would like.
They could sell it for $1000000 at some auction!
Yep, it's the unique console on the face of the earth [Nintendo+Sony], the Holy Grail exist.
+parazels83 It's a true unicorn. i wouldn't be surprised if it fetched an insane price in auction.
+parazels83 I doubt it, sure it's definitely a 1 of a kind piece out there, but there are several 1 of a kind prototypes out there. Just look up "Nintendo Prototype" and you'll find some of the coolest things. Sure that thing could be sold that much, if it wasn't so obscure. For example, NWC (Nintendo World Championship) is the 4th rarest video game in the world, and it sells at auctions for around $100,000 while the rarest game in the world, Campus Challenge, only sold for $21,000. Why? because EVERYBODY knows what NWC is, but I'm sure most of you who are reading this had to look up what Campus Challenge is. A price on collector's items is depended on 3 things: Rarity, Condition, and the market for it (A.K.A. how obscure is it). I'd say this thing at an auction would go for $7,000-$15,000. But hey, maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.
+Noah sixtyfour it is the ONLY piece in history that was made by 2 companies who have been trying to kill each other since their inception. Before there ever was an xbox vs sony it was nintendo vs sony. and i remember it well.
Chris Shinsky and your point is? Someone could easily say, "They can sell that for million dollars!" But will it actually SELL for a million dollars? As stated before, there are TONS of cool collectible video game memorabilia, but nothing to date is even close to worth a million dollars.
I'm not saying this isn't cool. I would love to own this thing and wouldn't mind paying a couple grand for it, but the thing is not in the best shape, the plastic has yellowed, there doesn't seem to be anything else special about it, no prototype games or anything, just the console and a controller. And the fact that it plays super famicom games doesn't really make it special at all. Gamecube prototypes (Nintendo dolphin system) has only a few selected found but MANY prototype controllers and prototype games, making it much more interesting than this in my opinion, feel free to look it up, it's worth your time, trust me, it's pretty cool.
If the people who owned this thing were smart, they would let an expert open up the thing and look at the circuit board and how everything works. This would let us have a better understanding in how far this prototype actually went in production. Because without any disk based games, we can literally call this thing a modified Super Famicom. But, if we were to find that the disk drive were connected to the circuit board, or find the way that this was built (how much ram, if there is any form of wireless communication, etc.) it would add to the history and maybe even drive up the value.
And people act like this is one of a kind. The story the guy gave made it seem like there were more of these prototypes (i estimate anywhere from 2-25) now these haven't been uncovered, but I'd be willing to bet my life they exist (some slightly different then others). Anybody saying that the thing is worth a million dollars probably only just heard of the story. I've known about this console years ago (before this console's existence, it was only rumored a console existed). But now that this one has been found, I am certain we will be able to find more.
Sorry this is so long, but I imply you to read all of it. And lastly, don't think I think this thing isn't cool. I ever since i heard the rumor a few years back, i always wanted to have this console (i only imagined it looking different) I just don't like people thinking they're smart just because they read about it 5 minutes before commenting "THIS THING IS WORTH BILLIONS, IT'S SO RARE AND ONE OF A KIND!!!!"
That's an awesome piece of history to have. You have debunked a lot of naysayers! Are there any bootable prototype or utility discs that exist for this legendary console?
It came with a debugging cartridge that seems to be for running the CD drive.
+hATCH bATCH wat
*****
oh okay now it all makes sense
+SuperKokuJin916 it has a LCD didget with skipping forward and backward/ play-pause-stop. Normal audio CDs will work just fine.
+SuperKokuJin916 There isn't really a debate. People who know retro gaming well like myself will tell you that it was marketed as the SNES-CD in magazines in the 90's.
that's an awesome dad.
Its so awesome it gets a whole 3:38 video!!!
They should go ahead, and start to make games for it.. Lol.. 15-20 years after.
+Carpediem06 It would be neat to see someone come out with a homebrew game for it, just to see how powerful "Super-Disc" games for it would be. I doubt it'd be much better than a SEGA Mega Drive Mega CD tho.
+Carpediem06 They still need the dev kit. So Far, one has not been found.
+Carpediem06 xD...What a market...
+Cyphox No it wasn't Snes had better colours, and a sound chip that was better for things like rpgs, Sega was far better for arcade style games as SF2 proved (the scratchy voices were down to bad programming rather than hardware, and fan hacks make Sega version sound effects at least on par with Snes)
Metal Gear Kirby.... lol that would be sick
I want to see a teardown!!!!
+chris manning it would be cool if we could get reproductions of that especially if they added ps1 games support. of course it wouldnt be the same knowing it wasn't the original.
Awesome. Good find for them!
THATS JUST AWESOME.
It always amazes me how obvious it is that you can flip on an old console, and sit and have fun.. yet the industry is constantly feeling the need to press forward and increase graphics fidelity....
And after seeing people play old games, and have fun.. i can't help but think "What is the damn point of constantly making graphics more realistic?"
I'm a retro gamer, i like old games.. i rarely play a new game and go "oh god, i'm having so much fun!" but every time i boot up my super Nintendo, or my Sega Saturn... or my NES.. i start playing a game and i always find myself going "oh god, i'm having such a blast!!".
I'm not sure if that says something about me, or if that says something about the industry in general...
Heaven forbid we ask any questions, like "does the disk drive work?".
FloorManiac it didn't but another guy fixed it
FloorManiac If it doesn't play any 32 bit CD Nintendo games, then I don't think it's real.
Dustin Hawkyard it should be able to play that homebrew game which was made for the SNESCD once the drive works. Ben Heck thinks the laser diode died but he's trying his hardest to keep it as original as possible and make it work
the dad wants no part in this video lol
playing that thing had to be a highlight in that dudes life.
I wonder if anyone has made an offer from the community to allow them to dump the bios and to get emulation started
Someone in Dubai offered him $1.6 million.
Josh B DAMNNNN Daniel
Robert Cosper why would you need to emulate it?
for the hell of it
Its intresting because Sony made some of the chips on the Super nintedo, and Nintendo was supose to make the PlayStation with sony... But broke the cooperation in the last minute. Nintendo made a deal with SGI/Mips in steed and Sony published the PlayStation anyway
One thing that hit me now. Looking at the original playstation controller before the introduction of dualshock. Visualy its not that simular to the SNES controller. But looking at the layout, they are really simular.
The D-pad is replaced with 4 arrow. The 4 collor buttons is virtually identical but just change color. The start en select is the same. The only layout difference is the shoulder buttons.. there are two more.
Looking at the port, they are really simular to. SNES have 3 banks of 4 (D-pad, 4-botom, other). The PS1 port have two more conections, but they mostly work with a digital conection
matsv201 and in doing so sealed their own fate......
YOUDIEMOFO Well.. they are both still alive and... Well sony is doing resoanble.. and ... i would think When the swich is launched.. Nintendo will probobly do good as well
Bring it to a museum!!

seriously a console that could have the games library of the snes and the ps1? damn
+minigunexo megaman x 1 to 6 : )
It was either that or Dr.Rabbit
minigunexo The CDi was released before this prototype was made. Phillips was actually hesitant to partner with Nintendo for a CD add-on because they already had the CDi out and didn't want to compete with themselves. It wasn't until Nintendo offered them the rights to use their mascots in CDi games that they eventually went through with it. However, the Phillips add-on fell through because by 1994 Nintendo was done with the CD shit that caused them so much trouble with Sony. (Not to mention them seeing the failures of all the CD consoles of that time) I'm pretty sure this whole debacle was the reason the N64 used cartridges instead. Proving to be Nintendo's biggest mistake they've ever done.
@Justin Y. fake ass justin Y. gtfo.
Just in time for the Nintendo NX...the collab between Nintendo and SCE. I love the way they get into our heads.

Send it to the MAME guys to dump the roms and begin emulating it so it never dies and everyone can have one.
Emulate what exactly?
It's a snes with a disk system that doesn't have games.
There is already a snes emulator and developing an emulator for a disk system that has no games....why?
The console itself is important not the system inside which is probably incomplete.
Also yeah....why would they do that? The point is that only one exists.

There's this thing called BIT ROT. Look it up. It's a good idea to PRESERVE this hardware using accurate software emulation. I just hate seeing rare things lost to time.
nirvgorilla A hardware that does nothing?
MazingerDestroXtreme
MAME does it right now. Look up "MESS" - they emulate lots of hardware including calculators. They'd want this hardware to emulate. If you don't fucking get it, give me your goddamned skype information. Jesus I'm sick of typing out NOVELS to people who literally give me GLAZED OVER EYEBALLS when I type something--yet when I orally say it, they suddenly fucking get it RIGHT AWAY. TEXT FUCKING SUCKS
nirvgorilla I still don't understand why emulate an incomplete system with no games....
0h wow! nice find guys!
NAILED IT!
Try putting a psx disc inside!
*universe implodes*
haahhaha
Nice joke!
It doesn't work. I went to Midwest Gaming Classic where they gave a presentation and they said the CD drive is busted. Besides, I doubt it'd work because it isn't the same hardware.
Probably a different disc format.
So basically it's a SNES with a Playstation skin?
It's essentially a deal-gone-bad between Sony and Nintendo.
This is the prototype for a SNES that could also play games run on CD-ROM disks.
Currently, there's very little software for the CD side of things but it plays Super Famicom/SNES games already.
In that era, nintendo was looking designers for his next console, they went to Sony for the CD but turned them down because of load times, everybody was expecting a new 32 bit console from nintendo, sega tried to win the race rushing his expansions for the megadrive (32X & CD Driver) and then the Sega Saturn (32 bit console). Sony decided to launch his own console after the failed deal with Nintendo. Nintendo scrapped out and announced a 64 bit console called Project Reality.
dooovde no its a hybrid console.
Snes by nintendo and PlayStation by sony.
dooovde yes
3:00 - you’re welcome!!!
its like finding a rare collaborative record with the rolling stones and the beatles
ERASERHAND is real
omfg! The Holy Grail of consoles does exist. First the E.T. Atari Landfill story was real and now this too!? Nerdgasam..
+adankseason ADS I'm still waiting for more Sonic Xtreme prototypes to be leaked, but yea this is pretty amazing... someone must be sitting on some test disks (perhaps even games) for this thing somewhere
this thing belongs in a museum
I liked the earlier design better, where it sat under the SFC as an attachment.
It can play SNES and PSX games?! Want it T_T
The SNES was 16-bit, while the PlayStaion was 32-bit, so it can't run PSX games
j jarry why did the Mega Drive / Genesis had the Mega CD / SEGA CD ?
Studio recorded music, video cutscenes and a lot bigger storage capacity, which is very useful for RPGs.
j jarry it didn't have any games because it has nevet been released -_-
And English please, I don't understand "They was going to make the game that are now PlayStation seen as this was made before. maybe you could make your our games"
OSuKaRu TV it doesn't play PSX games... i dont think it was even conceptualised back then
this is cool as shit! Sony and Nintendo would be very different company's if partnered up for systems
Aaaaand XBOX would basically not be around at all, lol.
Not really considering that Nintendo didn't want to share its properties with Sony.
The whole point of not getting this console was that Nintendo thought that Sony would take all their properties and somehow find a way to steal them, which is retarded since Sony would only allow people to develop games on the cd and further boosting the sales of the console. The only way Sony could harm Nintendo is if they found a way to get the exclusive rights of the cd titles making the cartridge part useless since the technology was hard to develop and cartridges were expensive. Of course Nintendo could always use all of Sony's tec and develop a Playtendo 2 or Playtendo wii that would be cd based but what am I saying.....Nintendo thinking smart? These people thought that they had a monopoly in 2000 or something even if later ps1 was coming, then dreamcast and ps2. And let's be serious. If ps2 didn't exist Dreamcast would be the king
Go outside
the holy grail *angels singing* ahhhhhhhhhhhh
hahahaha
there is a kickstarter where they going to make a book of the inside the system i would imagine someone with some knowledge of chip set could work out how powerful the system is.
Needs to be Reverse engineerd, for benchmarks and homebrews.
AND I STILL CANT TRACK POKEMON
Yoshi92 good 4 u
I knew about this way back in hs. its crazy how not many knew sony teamed up with Nintendo .. such old news
Before copy protection, too!! :)
