Doctor V64 Junior for
Professional Game Developers
Perfect for artist/programmers to run
their work on N64 system. The low cost of the Doctor V64 Junior makes it affordable for
companies to buy one for every artist and programmer.
As the Doctor V64 Junior allows
bi-directional communication between the PC and N64 and allows N64 to write into the
Doctor V64 Junior's DRAM, it is perfect for real time debugging. Transfer rate has also
increase significantly as it uses EPP 32bit mode to transfer data. It takes about 80-90
seconds to load a 512 mbits ROM file(depends on the speed of you hard disc). Actual
loading time will depends on the computer that is transferring the ROM file to the Doctor
V64 Junior.
Doctor V64 Junior is also perfect for
non-official game developers who wants to try programming on the N64 but do not have the
hardware available yet as only official developers can have access to official N64
development device.
Perfect for exhibition, meeting and
presentation as artists/programmers can bring it to different places easily, as it is
portable and has batteries to hold data inside the DRAM.
Perfect for beta and media testing as
CD-ROM can be sent out together with it and users can download N64 ROM files themselves
and run it. Save part of the game in CD-ROM (1 or 2 stages) and send it out to beta
testers to try or send it to the media for previews and reviews. Developers can also start
beta-testing center in offices, malls or exhibitions. The low cost of the Doctor V64
Junior and the easy setup of it make it the perfect hardware. Developers can easily have a
huge install base of beta testers. Having more beta tester means more bugs free and better
quality games.
Dream Comes True - Doctor V64
Junior for Amateur Coders/Programmers
Doctor V64 Junior is a dream come true
for both amateur and professional coders/programmers. The Dr V64 Junior is a low budget
alternative to expensive FlashROM cartridge for official developers and yet powerful
enough to meet the requirements they need.
Amateur coders/programmers have no
access to development device like the Doctor V64 Junior. Even official developers have
limited quantity of hardware for developing N64 format games. Best of all, the Doctor V64
Junior price is so low, even high school students who wants to start projects on N64
programming can afford it.
The Doctor V64 Junior allows amateur
coders to use it as a stepping stone to being an official programmer. Amateur coders can
use it to write N64 format demo programs to show off their programming skill and send it
to official game developers.
Instructions for using Doctor
V64 Junior
1.Doctor V64 requires power supply to
hold data and there are three sources of power inputs. Doctor V64 Junior operates on
either six standard 1.5V AA size batteries, six 1.2V AA size rechargeable batteries or a
7V-12V, 200ma or above DC power supply. (DC power supply and batteries are not included in
the package). The center point polarity of the power supply plug to the Doctor V64 Junior
is negative (-). When not in used with N64, Doctor V64 Junior is able to hold data up to 6
hours with six 1.5V AA size Alkaline batteries. Please note that the Doctor V64 Junior
consume power from N64 and not batteries when the N64 is turned on. Doctor V64 Junior will
not hold data when there is no power from batteries, power supply or N64, the DRJRWIN (2.0
or later) program will display an error message 'No Port Found!'. 2.Use a 25 pins printer
extension cable or a 25 pins data switch cable, connect one end to a PC parallel port and
the other end to the Doctor V64 Junior. Do not use 'Laplink' cable, as it is not
compatible to the hardware. Make sure that both ends of the cable are male. Please set
computer parallel/printer port to EPP mode. Consult your computer manufacturer for
information on switching the parallel/printer to EPP mode. 3.Use the DRJRWIN (2.0 or
later) program to download the N64 format ROM file into the Doctor V64 Junior. Click on
the 'Write' icon and select a ROM file to load into the Doctor V64 Junior DRAM. 4.After
the ROM file has been loaded, before turning on the N64, inserted a standard N64 cartridge
into the slot on the back of Doctor V64 Junior. It is not necessary to switch off the
power switch of the Doctor V64 Junior when playing on the N64 as it does not consumer
power from the batteries. 5.If user still need to retain data after playing, before
switching off the N64, please make sure to turn on the switch of the Doctor V64 Junior.
Description
The Doctor V64 Junior has a few major
parts and the descriptions are as follows:
Case - The physical size of the Doctor
V64 Junior is slightly twice the size of the normal N64 cartridge in both thickness and
height. It is similar but slightly thicker than the Flash ROM cartridges currently used by
official developers, but the price is only less than a quarter of it.There are three parts
of the case,they are the front, back and battery cover.
Parallel/Printer port - The Doctor V64
Junior has a built-in PC standard parallel/printer port. Thus, it is able to support any
PC that has a standard PC parallel/printer port without any expensive parallel/printer
port adapters, there are no hidden cost involved. There are also no difficult and
troublesome ISA/PCI cards to install and no need to open the computer. User can just
switch to any computer without installing or dismantling any ISA/PCI cards. The Doctor V64
Junior is hassle-free and works fine with all computers that has standard PC
parallel/printer port, including notebooks.
Cartridge Slot - A standard original
game cartridge should be slot into the back of the Doctor V64 Junior. The front of the
original game cartridge should be facing up, the cartridge can only be inserted one way
and it should fit nicely into the slot.
Battery Compartment - The Doctor V64
Junior has a battery compartment and fit six 'AA' size batteries. Both standard 1.5V
batteries and 1.2V rechargeable batteries are compatible to the Doctor V64 Junior. Six
'AA' size alkaline batteries can last up to six hours of use. Doctor V64 will not use
battery power when it is in use with N64. Doctor, it uses power from the N64. It is not
necessary to turn off the battery power when the N64 is on, as the DOCTOR V64 will
auto-switch power supply from the battery to N64 when it detects power from N64.
Power Supply - Doctor V64 Junior
operates on a 7V-12V, 200ma or above DC power supply. (DC power supply and batteries are
not included in the package). The center point polarity of the power supply plug to the
Doctor V64 Junior is negative (-). Doctor V64 power supply priority is set to as follows:
(1) N64, (2) DC power supply, (3) Batteries. Doctor V64 Junior will always use power from
N64 and hence if the N64 is turned on, the Dc power supply or batteries will not be used.
DRAM - The Doctor V64 Junior is a ROM
emulator cartridge compatible to N64. N64 format ROM file can be loaded into the DRAM and
with an original cartridge, the ROM file loaded into the DRAM will run. All new version
Doctor V64 Junior are shipped with 512mbits DRAM.
FPGA - The Doctor V64 Junior has a
built-in programmable gate array fully designed and developed by Bung Enterprises Limited.
