Cool stuff. I love looking at the photos but these are usually above my budget. Plus, most dev kits don't play retail releases, right?
I've always wanted a 3DO M2 kiosk system. Close to unreleased as you can get really. Never came across one though
PS2 tool is my favorite, it can run retail games and debugs in realtime with a second cpu/mobo running Linux
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything interesting on the hard drives
I have a friend with a PS2 Tool... any idea if you can image the spinning drive to an SSD to preserve the original drive? Or does the drive have some custom firmware flashed to it?
While I haven't personally tried a SSD (you would need an IDE SSD btw), I've had success dumping images from the tool HDD to my Windows PC. I'm drawing a blank on which software I used to pull the image, but it's certainly possible. If your friend is interested, I would be happy to trade HDD images.
