Unboxing & Testing a Complete Nintendo 64DD Development Kit [#55]

In this video I am Unboxing a Complete 64DD Development kit. It contains the following items:

Nintendo 64 development disk drive (AKA 64DD Development drive)
x5 development Blue disks (Validated as Blank by LuigiBlood 64DD Guru) :(
DCC adapter
IPL ROM PAK (AKA IPL Disk Cartridge)
DCC joint board
Black colored expansion pack removal tool
N64 memory Expansion Pak

I not only perform the Unboxing of the 64DD Dev kit, but I also perform a full functional test of the system using a Partner-N64 development cartridge.

I also test the DCC adapter & IPL ROM Pak with an N64 Development Flash cartridge. I used an old N64 demo by Mark DeLoura who was the Lead Engineer at NOA (Nintendo of America Inc.) during the 64DD drive's development.
