Dreamcast List of seen GD-Rs #2

[thedoctor45]

So lately I've been having too much spare time on my hands, so I thought I might as well put it to good use and resurrect this old Assembler topic by compiling a detailed collection of pics from various released & unreleased Dreamcast prototype GD-Rs that have been floating around out there at some point in history.

Just like last time, please don't hesitate to complement the list with your own web-findings or add GD-R photos of your own personal collection if you want.

The links below include all the GD-R shots & info i was able to find on the net so far:

MediaFire

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

If you spot any errors or inconsistencies please let me know and I'll take care of it.

Nice one!
Besides photo's did you perhaps also compile a list in writing? If so it would great to share it here.

 

[thedoctor45]

Thanks, are you looking for any additional info (besides the one that's already included in the filenames)?

PS: Also, does anyone know what the Katana GD-Rs labeled "GOLF" and "GUNDAM" actually are?

 

[darcagn]

GOLF on blue GD-R is Net Golf, not Tee Off

 

[thedoctor45]

Thanks, I set that right.

I'm the current owner for quite a few of these. I know that some are from longtime owners but some have changed hands multiple times before they came into my possession.

 

[thedoctor45]

Thanks for the info. If you have anything to add to the collection please don't hesitate. It would be nice to have a near complete archive of all GD-R discs currently in the hands of private collectors.

Added a detailed spreadsheet with all available info on currently known prototypes:

It's nice to see that these are not lost

Let's make the list grow

Must have a trawl through my photos, I had quite a few back in the day. Always gutted I sold my Space Channel 5 GDR as I'm still a huge SC5 nut, but the contents of the GDR were the same as the white label so didn't see a reason to keep hold of it for some stupid reason.

 

[thedoctor45]

Great, the more the merrier! Fyi there‘s just been another unreleased title discovered for the DC called "Ring - Legend of the Nibelungen".
I'll put out an updated List tomorrow.

Maybe you can fish some out of these lists for the excel file:

List of Dreamcast protos - Retrogaming Roundtable

I was tired of working on what I should have been working on and got all my DC protos together. Here is a list of all the DC protos I could round up. If you have one not listed here and would like part with it please drop me a line. GD-ROM indicates an "orange disk GD-Rom" These require...

Thanks, I was indeed able to salvage a couple of entries with build dates from these lists, here‘s an updated version of the spreadsheet.

 

[Blai]

Thanks for your efforts @thedoctor45

I have around 300 photos of GD-Rs - including the ones I once posted in assemblergames - so I can send you the ones not present in your mediafire link

 

[thedoctor45]

I updated the spreadsheet with the latest findings and also added links to the recently uncovered Red Lemon protos:

We're now at almost 600 entries!

 

[Slayer2k8]

Probably not that interesting but the picture of 90 minutes is almost the mirror image of my disc apart from someone has clearly re-written the name on the disc in black marker. The orignial blue pen has almost faded of mine but the date is the 21 or 22 of sept '01 it also states it for review.

I'm the owner of floigan bross gd-r . I tried to dump it in the past to release it but failed with the copy to sd over serial method . It stops with an error at start . The disc is perfect and I was able to play it with the swap/bios reset method (without system disk ) . The game looks finished so it could also be a review copy
