People sold them, or dumped them. They're little more than collector's items today.

I don't know anything about these dev kits - what are they really? Are they GD-Rom burners or something?

SEGA · Post by **SEGA** » Mon Feb 24, 2003 11:44 am

they were the things that sega used to make dreamcast games and yes its a gd reader/burner

So I could use that to develop without all the KalistiOS, Nero, DJ, PJ AC/DC blah blah blarg?

Those are cool. I have 3. He he. Just joking. I would like one just to keep as a collector's item. The one on eBay has damage and doesn't work, I wouldn't get it.

Well, I checked and the non-working dev kit on eBay sold for $227.50 plus shipping. Wonder what a good one would cost?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Anybody have one?

I've also read somewhere on another post that there is an older Yamaha CD-RW drive that can actually read GD-ROM discs. Anybody heard of this?

A working DC dev-kit goes around $500 without the GD burner and docs, if the GD burner and docs are included, up to $750.

Some people (not me, I can't afford to) collect dev kits for various systems. http://assembler.emugaming.com/index.html

Yea these are nice and all but you have to actually put your hands on some GD-r's since you cant burn anything with the dev kit on a cd-r, and good kuck actually putting your hands on few of these for less than 35.00 a disc since sega dosn't make the disc anymore. Like it was posted before these are for collectors.

hey, couldn't you hook this puppy up to a PC though? It looks like kind of like a mini PC tower (not that that really means anything). I'm thinking, is it possible for someone to use something like this to make homebrews/emus etc and transfer them to PC using a coder's cable, etc? (I'm asking about the possibility, not demanding someone to do it).

Do these puppies have internal "coding software" for developing or something?

Oh, and to reiterate a question I had before which was touched on but went unanswered: I've also read somewhere on another post that there is an older Yamaha CD-RW drive that can actually read GD-ROM discs. Anybody heard of this? I am interested in exracting (if possible) movies, picture files, and music.
