Dr. Dedboy 3 months ago edited

I went to a local flea market back around 2003.
It was one of those local deals where it had some decent, but not great games. So as I am slowly sloshing through a metric ton of various budget bin ps1 and ps2 games, the owner had a person walk in with a box of junk to sell.
His son was going away to college in another state, and he was offloading his game collection.
Not only did he have a PSX[ NOT a PS1, go look up what the PSX is], he also had a Yaroze, a Dreamcast Developemental PC, as well as a prototype of Resident Evil 4, which did not hit the GameCube until a year later.

The obese stall owner offered 500$ for the whole lot. I informed the owner of the gold mine that this stuff was worth a TON more that five hundred dollars.
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2023-11-24 22:19
Needless to say, the stall owner hurled expletives at me and told me to Fu## O##, which I did.

I was never rich, thus I told the man I could never afford this stuff. He then looked me over, and simply said, Take any one item you want my friend. Well, almost in tears, I chose the Yaroze. It came with all the cords, including a crossover PC coed and four controller, two of which were prototype Dualshock 2 controllers.

I had more fun developing games than actually playing them. Seeing people have fun, if only for a few hours made me feel well.
The man sold the rest, and made roughly $15,000 total. Funny enough, Capcom was the one who purchased the RE4 prototype from this man, and paid 12,000$ for it.

I sold the Yaroze to help benifit the Salvation Army about ten years ago. I only shared this long story to give you, the dear reader the hope that life can have gems of hope, diamonds of the moment, I like to call them.

Dont ever let depression or sorrow take those precious diamonds away from you.
And thank you, blessings to you, for reading this simple moment on your journey, the journey we all must endure.

#2 has a Q&A:

Dear Sony,
About Net Yaroze...when I look at it, it looks tempting to buy, but the price is expensive. I have a few questions to ask:
1. Can I play regular PlayStation games on it?
2. Is it like the gray PlayStation? When you turn it on, do you get the screen with the memory card and the CD player thing?
3. What language can the work be made in?
mark...@AOI.com

1. One of the benefits of the Net Yaroze PlayStation is that it also can be used as a regular gaming system.
The retail (gray) American PlayStation unit can only play commercially developed PlayStation game titles from licensed PlayStation developers and publishers, The Yaroze hardware offers no territorial lock-out, so it can play both PAL (Europe) and NTSC (Japan, U.S.) PlayStation discs,

2. Yes, you still have the main menu screen to select from.

3. To benefit the most from the support library included with the system, we recommend having a basic knowledge of the C programming language.

Heres a snippet of the interview... surprisingly its not that bad, the restaurant was pretty loud for a Tuesday (21st Nov.) 12pm-2pm and it was recorded on my mobile phone for my audio and reading these questions and his audio was recorded on my old mobile, that I use as a GPS... I had my cheap kmart $5 mobile headphones and I bought him a new pair... we had our respective mic ear bud in our ears.... it worked okay, phones where plugged into a power bank... and we were talking while eating LOL
Disregard the discord sound

@mike.garcia#0 - 2023-11-26 06:29
I have no idea how to clean the audio up... remove the background sounds etc.
I think Ill leave it as is and provide the original audio files

The interview was very short notice, I was still writing questions early that day... so the questions are pretty generic :/
