Once again, I am talking about some of the many project ideas I have on my Todo list.

I discuss my plans on dumping the firmware of a very unique N64 development cartridge that was built by Rare Ltd. back in 1996. I have discussed this cartridge before here on my channel, with Electronics design Engineer Mark Green who worked at Rare Ltd. during the late 90's.

I also talk about a very special Joystick adapter that was needed for the one and only SGI "ULTRA 64 DEVELOPMENT BOARD". This Rare adapter is called the "Joybus Board".

To close things off...I talk about yet another extremely "Rare Rare"... :P
...Flash cartridge adapter that was needed for playing Rare Ltd. Games that were under development. These adapters were used during public trade shows like E3, to prevent the game from accidentally being released, or at least making it more difficult to load the game, if the Game flash cartridge got into the wrong hands.
