Jack Walker Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I too have a grey 1.0 cart, or at least I think it is. When my uncle got his Xbox he gave us his N64, which included this. I'm aware of the revisions made to the game later, i.e. replacing the Fire Temple's chanting with the chanting soundfonts from the Shadow Temple and Beneath the Well, and Slugula's were renamed to "Torch Slugs" for some reason, and of course, green blood/barf. 1.0 has red blood. Which is frikkin awesome. Oh wait, the listing's a DEMO cart! Nevermind, then! I don't have that XD Does the cart say "Not for resale" on it? If it does then it's what people are looking for.

Conker Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Does the cart say "Not for resale" on it? If it does then it's what people are looking for. Yeah, it does. It's also called "NFR! The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time NOT FOR RESALE Demo Game Nintendo 64" on the listing. I believe this thing houses some great secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEepicPOULET Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You have a grey cart 1.0? O_o Screenshots plox, I would love to see this. I don't really think a screenshot is needed. It's just a grey cart with the 1.0 content. But if you want, I could hook up my n64 and get a video of the cart in action. I just don't want to go through that trouble right now.

Arcaith Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 If it's anything like the kiosk demo carts that were set up here in Australia, it's just a regular old 1.0 version in promotional packaging marked only so that the store didn't sell more units than it was given to sell. I never came across any 'true' demo editions of OOT on any of the kiosks I saw around the time of its release here. edit: That being said, doing a dump of the game would be interesting; who here can support spinout if he buys it?

I could when I get paid in a couple weeks. ZeldaSpeedRuns claims the not for resale cart is a 1.0 cart. http://zeldaspeedrun...ion-differences See this is what I'm afraid of, people aren't literally looking deeper into the cart other then on the surface, oh it has a few things similar to this, so it must be 1.0. *facepalm* A quote from their site: There are three major components to the Z64 Engine: Scenes, Maps, and Actors. Scenes contain an entire area (like Kokiri Forest). Maps are smaller segments (like a room in a dungeon) of a scene. Actors are the objects and npcs that make up the world. ^ This is obviously wrong on many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason777 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Has anyone ever put up a difference chart in a byte for byte comparison between a gold v1.0 and a normal gray v1.0 ROM? I have a gold and gray cartridge, that is why I ask. EDIT: I also found this thread: http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=31476 You could ask the thread creator to dump the ROM since I believe he has the means to do so.

xdaniel Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Has anyone ever put up a difference chart in a byte for byte comparison between a gold v1.0 and a normal gray v1.0 ROM? I have a gold and gray cartridge, that is why I ask. Not that I know of, but I can't be 100% sure. Although I am pretty sure that, if the two cartridges contained different ROM data, someone would've noticed before - back in the day at least when comparing it to existing scene releases, so as to not produce a dupe, or later on when someone tried to verify it via GoodN64 or whatever else - and there would be two different "v1.0"s floating around. If nothing else, and if you have a GameShark, you could dump and compare them yourself, finally putting this issue to rest. EDIT: I also found this thread: http://www.nintendoa...&threadid=31476 "The game itself is the exact same as the Gold Collector's Edition v1.0." - so at the very least, it does not have any fancy demo scene select like MM's demo does. And from that, I'd bet that if the gold cartridge is identical to v1.0, the NFR cart is as well, because why would Nintendo compile yet another ROM just for some demo cartridges without it even having demo-specific features?

LEepicPOULET Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Here is my 1.0 grey cart (Sorry about the bad camera). It may be hard to see, but you can see that it only has two digits. (It looks like there is a line at the end of the two digits, but that is just a scratch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeth Ryder Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Ah ok, so its not the NFR version then. Thanks for the screenshots and nice dig on the 1.0 gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenix Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I know this topic is old, but I figured I'd show this. This is my cart. It has "Not for Resale" on it in a rectangular box on the front. If I can somehow dump it, I'd gladly supply it if it would spark any interest and/or help in any way as far as the history of OoT.Is this what you guys were looking for a while back?

Airikita Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah, it's just a NFR cart. and not a special beta copy. If you can, dump the ROM Xenix, I will take a stab at it with my tools at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenix Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (By the way, I am that Sepulcher guy. I changed my nick.)Yeah, I already knew it wasn't some special beta copy. I was just curious if you guys wanted the data on it as there was some interest back then.I have no means of dumping it. Any idea where I could get the tools?

I was looking into this site before: http://www.nesworld.com/n64-howtodumproms.php If you find everything to dump it, you should be golden. I'm sure you might be able to find something.

Three_Pendants Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Oh? You have an NFRS cart Xenix? Whos knows what extra goodies are on there that might have been removed from later versions? By all means you should use whatever methods at your disposal to upload it to the internet! Please keep in contact with Airikita who likely has the most experience in this, and if you need any additional help you might want to reach out to the community at romhacking.net, they might be able to lend a hand as well.

Xenix Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well, if I can get the tools gathered up, I will dump it ASAP. If it will help you all in any way, I would be more than happy to supply the rom data. This game cartridge was my childhood. I never would have guessed it would end up serving me like this one day. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairugoth Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 You could use a Z64. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z64 But I dout you could find one these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenix Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah, a quick search yielded no results other than "Sold Item". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdaniel Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Easiest and cheapest should really be a GameShark v3.x, a parallel port cable, and a compatible PC. It is a bit unstable, as mentioned on the page that Airikita linked to, but can be gotten to work rather reliably, and is also a lot more, well, economical than trying to find a Z64 or Doctor V64.
