derSammler Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Can't believe I had this in storage for over one decade. Just set it up and it's still working with no issue. Well, the hard disk is louder than what I remember, but I have an original spare one - should it fail. Going to play some IMSA Racing first, then going to buy some CD-Rs to test a few prototypes. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 That looks rather nice, and at least Konami used its hardware for their arcade games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) That kiosk unit was a spare one from McGill, the company who did the GM software. It's basically new. Got it from McGill's VP back then and it survived shipping all the way from Canada. The arcade stuff is great as well. I own the full Heat of Eleven '98 system by Konami, which can also play the other games, as it has full RAM, RTC, and lightgun ports. Had plans to put it into an old PC case to make it more user-friendly, but never found the time to do so. Some day...

IIRC, didn't someone managed to make the M2 Konami arcade games playable on emulator? I really want to play Polystars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Yes, but even though that happened around 2010 or so, the emulator has never been made public until it leaked years ago. No idea how good it actually works, but it's said to be able to run all 5 arcade games. MAME does Konami M2 emulation as well. Not sure if that's any better, however.

derSammler Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Trying to compile an alpha build of D2. 2371 compiling errors. That's a good start, I guess? ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Successfully got the D2 source to compile yesterday with no errors (but still tons of warnings) after having had to convert it from SDK 2.7 to 3.1. Only gives me a black screen so far, but still progress. Originally planned to have a video ready for Christmas, but this probably won't happen. Not enough to show yet. Hope to get a playable build out of it for people visiting my museum next year to play on-site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapexit Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Is SDK 2.7 available somewhere publicly? The one on Archive.org that claims to be 2.7 is actually 3.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Yes, versions 2.7, 3.0, and 3.1 should all be available publicly. But only 3.1 is of any use anyway, unless you want to run compiled stuff on a dev system only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapexit Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Do you have a link to 2.7? Everything I've found labeled 2.7 is 3.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Not on hand, but let me check if I can find one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 Try this: https://www.emuparadise.me/sdk/Installers/3DO/M2/3DO M2 SDK 2.7 (Installer).7z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapexit Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thanks. Unfortunately, that is 3.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 No idea then, never had to download it myself, as I own the original disc. Can't believe people uploading stuff are that stupid, however. On the other hand, no one probably checks or cares for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapexit Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Could you post a rip? Interested in checking out the versions of certain tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 If it's not urgent. I'm on a very slow internet connection, so uploading will take quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapexit Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thanks. No rush. I would very much appreciate it. Been looking for all the SDKs for archival purposes and to compare the features of the tooling between versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Still no luck compiling a working build of D2, but got a very generous Christmas gift yesterday: The Panasonic M2 Demo disc from 1998. This is commonly refered to as the Dolphin Demo, but it's actually a collection of 10+ demos. Certainly need to find a smaller TFT display, as that one has pretty bad scaling.

I can upload it today, as I have to boot up my storage server anyway, on which I have stored all my stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derSammler Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Finally got a working build of D2 out of the source code yesterday. ? Still has many glitches, though - but it's working on the FZ-35. I'm going to abandon this thread, however, as interest in the M2 seems to be non-existent here. Not blaming anyone - this is an Atari forum after all. If anything ground-breaking happens, it will be posted on my website and/or on Twitter.
