Nintendo Dolphin prototypes, unreleased games

Nintendo Dolphin, which became the gamecube used cartridges with hard drives inside. A video of a few of the ones I have.

Sorry for the poor focus, but I have yet to get a true HD video camera.
Shot after work, my voice lacks the normal enthusiasm. (sorry)

My friend has the system but sadly no games. Would you be willing to sell one of the games?

[ASSEMblerEX]

@Luigifreakout123 Yeah but it's sorta expensive.

[ASSEMblerEX]

@priyahthewhite Nice to show people some new things!!

[abarna01]

Do you advertise your videos to any sites? Granted there isn't a huge audience for people who are interested in beta/unused stuff, but the people who are, we really enjoy your videos!

[ASSEMblerEX]

@abarna01 It's just the core audience I guess. 500 people around the world who "get it".

@ASSEMblerEX

They would have never been released in that form. It was hard drives inside the carts for the development team. It was meant to give the developers a taste of having the load the games over and over again. Too many developers develop a game and not give a shit about the load times. Nintendo wanted developers to remember this, going into a disc-based system, so they used hard drives for the dev kits.

When the game was finished, it went onto disc.

@priyahthewhite dolphin was the gamecube prototype

[redroversk]

Dolphin carts looked like a bloody whale, those would have been crazy! Also, I really miss those old Nintendo carts.

[FraeStudios]

would you mind dumoing roms and bios to developers to make emulators and roms?

[Dusty696969]

So the dolphine system was a beta system, was this system just sold to a small number of people to test the system or something? Because most of the time its just used for developers. But it seemed like more than developers had this system. Unlike the Xbox developer computer system.

It used freakin' hard drives!?
