Quick addendum in the video: Turns out the purple disk is actually a standard Mitsumi Quick Disk (the floppy disk format FDS games were based on), but with an additional plastic piece stuck on the bottom so that it can be accepted by an FDS drive! I did not realize that piece came off until shortly after this video went live!

@MrAlan1828 Год назад

Did you know that Roland also made a Disk compatible with the FDS called QD (Quick Disk) for its sequencers like the MT-100 (MT-32 + Sequencer) , just needed to extend the "NINTENDO" piece to make it fit

@kbhasi Год назад

That somehow made me imagine what the official SDK for the FDS could've been like.

@@kbhasiSomething like a Commodore computer or Apple II with a Mitsumi drive?

@kbhasi 5 месяцев назад

@@bootmii98 Yep, but also more along the lines of something like a Sharp X1, NEC PC-8801 series, and/or MSX. There was an episode of Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games where he mentioned developing on an original Mac, so I'm sure other developers developed on Macs too, maybe even PCs or Commodore 64/128.

I literally got one of these in the mail this week, small world!

The video footage use is from NTSC co, a shop located in Golden Shopping Centre. The video is my friend Mr. Mak's Dad he passed away and left the store to his son, I call him Mak for short have known him since 1992 and he's still in business after all these years. I used to supply CDR master Snes rom copies to many shop back then. Why keep a drawer of floppies 650x1.44mb vs 1cdrom ? Back then I also had a shop just across Golden. Also back then only a certain FDS drive could be made to write to disk and a Parallel link with software (I still have) writes directly to FDS. Nice and easy. Each blank disk inc white clear case, paper sleeve and photo cover (Back then copor copy wasn't a thing) would sell for $10 HKD.

@zombie3439 Месяц назад

Do you have pictures or videos of this parallel link software? I would love to try it!

@oatmeal386 Год назад

Taking a close look at the photo of the replacement cleaning cartridge at 4:28, it seems to be a microfiber cloth on a roll? Which would make sense as it usually isn't the best idea to apply liquids directly onto the magnetic material, the closest thing I can think of as an equivalent to the material is the official apple cleaning cloth. (Yes really)

@Akfamilyhome Год назад

It is definitely a dry cleaning thing, not sure if it's cloth though if it just sorta disintegrated over time. I used alcohol because it is one of the many claimed ways to clean floppy disks online, as long as it's sufficiently dried before being put into a drive

@Linkzcap Год назад

Whoa, the disk cleaning was cool but just seeing a FDS in action was probably the best part

@Pepperroni_McRoni Год назад

This N64 cartridge has seen things 0:14

@TommyDeonauthsArchives Год назад

Just when I thought I knew everything about Nintendo accessories... I forgot about the Bob-omb that owns an FDS...

@mattsweeney3790 Год назад

I love your videos, man. Such good content and a fresh perspective

@JacobShropshire 4 месяца назад

You need to be careful, the alcohol in the pads might be dissolving the glue for the protective felt inside the disk.

6:16 i laughed so hard my soul came out of my body

@skyevlyn Год назад

Thank you for showing these off! It's so cool to see not video game gaming stuff documented :) I really love the Nintendo cleaning kits cuz some of them are delightfully wonky like the Wii and Game Boy ones ;u; always glad to see these kits get some love!

@Bakamoichigei Год назад

I saw one of those disk cleaners on eBay and almost bought it just cuz. I don't even have a Famicom, much less an FDS! 🤣 I would open up the cleaning cartridge and try to replace the cleaning strip with a strip of 'non-woven cellulose wipe' 🤔 lol, speaking of the diskwriter, I saw an official disk card storage case made to look like the diskwriter kiosk. 😂

@promania8956 Год назад

Could you someday make a video on how to hook up foreign consoles. And things like Voltage changers and cables you recommend to make it work outside its original county?
