PC-98 Toys: "Note Adapter" (PC-98 Paradise) Retrieving my old game saves - Featuring "Night Slave"!

[@gemedetvideo]

i thought all of the 98Note hard drives were just standard 2.5" IDE drives in a caddy. It is obviously too late now but did you ever try taking the drive out of the caddy to see what type of drive it actually is? My PC-9801US uses 98Note drives that look identical to the one you showed in the video. Years ago, I simply unscrewed the screws holding the caddy together, took out the drive and imaged it using a standard IDE to USB adapter. I then wrote the image to a CF card and used a CF to 2.5" IDE adapter in the caddy. This setup has been working perfectly for a couple of years now.

[@BasementBrothers]

I wondered about this, but was too afraid to try opening it. Glad someone commented eventually. Also, this note adapter came up for sale right when I was considering doing it, so I thought "what the hey" and just grabbed the adapter before I could try anything else. Thanks!

[@Nukle0n]

Considering it talks about SCSI on startup it sounds like it wouldn't use IDE

[@BasementBrothers]

@@Nukle0n The drive itself isn't SCSI, but the Note Adapter does seem to use the SCSI standard (in some capacity at least).

[@gemedetvideo]

@@Nukle0n You could be correct but from what I can tell most PC98 laptops do not have SCSI support built-in and require an expansion card for SCSI support. I think it is more likely the adapter has an IDE to SCSI bridge on it and is acting like a SCSI controller. That would also explain why the adapter shows up as a second SCSI controller and the switches are probably to configure the IO port and IRQ used. However, if the 98Note drive was SCSI, it should still be fairly easy to get the data off of it once removed from the caddy.

[@MrAlan1828]

correct! hdd four screws wrapped around in foil hahaha, I've never seen a 120mb this fat in my life

[@Belgand]

An English-language video about adapters for the proprietary notebook hard drives used on obsolete Japan-only computers may be peak KZbin. I seriously appreciate you putting this kind of intensely niche content out there alongside the more accessible stuff. Sometimes it's a case of being the only person to cover something and get that information out there. Especially when there's a language barrier. And while Night Slave is a great bonus, it would be nice to see a regular video on Yu-no at some point. That's definitely a title that has some pull with the broader audience, especially after the controversial remake available officially in English on Steam and other major retailers.

[@Nukle0n]

I love old computer stuff and there's very little good stuff about NECs offerings.

[@CptJistuce]

Controversial? Was it that big a deal that they changed the setting from high school to college? Or are people still mad that the "lick" cursor was censored by SCEA mandate?

[@Wyrdwad]

@@CptJistuce FWIW, I'd say changing the setting from high school to college is actually a pretty huge deal in any story -- there's a sense of immaturity that's inherent to high school-aged characters which is not inherent to college-aged characters (even if it realistically should be), and when you change the dynamic of the setting that much, you create a vastly different "mood" to it that has a huge effect on how average players/readers/viewers/whateverers will jell with those characters. Traits which might typically be considered charming or interesting for a high school student could be seen as immature and annoying for a college student, and in the rare reverse scenario, traits which might be expected for a college student could be seen as stiff and dull for a high school student. I'm anti-censorship in general when it comes to media in localization, so I'm a bit biased here, but it's honestly for narrative reasons in particular that I'm especially opposed to localizations messing with characters' ages, as doing so inevitably damages the subtle nuances of any story in surprisingly impactful ways. It's one of the biggest offenses in content alteration, IMHO.

[@CptJistuce]

@@Wyrdwad That is fair. I believe it was done because the narrative involves boinking, so they needed a credible "all characters are over the age of 18" argument. I actually dislike the change, but understand why it was done. And honestly, it has been done often enough that I assume college is supposed to be high school a lot of the time.

[@Wyrdwad]

@@CptJistuce Yeah, I certainly understand why changes like this are made -- the practice just seems counterproductive to me on general principle. Even the involvement of such... unsavory topics... isn't a particularly good reason for the change, since the narrative is also partially about "awakening" of a certain sort (that I can't specify lest my words turn invisible here!) -- and, let's face it, there are very few of us in life who wait until age 18 to have our "awakenings." One might even say the fact that such depictions stand to cause the player unease can be thought of as an intended effect -- they're exploring something that's typically taboo to depict, after all, so the discomfort is less a bug and more a feature. It's an exploration of the human condition from a perspective that's sure to get a visceral reaction from most adult gamers. And while it is easy enough to ignore for those of us who are used to these manner of changes, any casual gamer picking the game up because they think it sounds interesting will likely feel a sense of disconnect from it that goes against the creators' intended design.

[@TRS-Eric]

"unless you love spending hours tinkering with old potentially broken electronics" YES PLZ

[@Belgand]

That's a man who knows his audience.

[@relo999]

TBF I've yet to buy anything from Japan that was marked "junk" and didn't just work perfectly and was decently clean, unless it was extremely obvious why it would be called junk. Meanwhile I have a significantly higher rate of "tested and working" systems I bought from the US or here in Europe that had rather obvious faults.

[@BasementBrothers]

@@relo999 You've gotten lucky, obviously, but true you can often buy "junk" or "untested" hardware from Japan that does work. Still, when it comes to old PCs you probably should expect there will be at least some issues. I myself have bought plenty of PC-98 hardware that either didn't work at all, or had major issues that only became apparent upon thorough testing. I would never recommend anyone buys a PC-98 unless they are expecting it to be something that needs to be worked on constantly... like a hot rod. PC-88, on the other hand, you can maybe have a little better luck with as long as you can get one with two good working floppy drives. PC-88's have less stuff in them that breaks or is difficult to figure out.

[@aducharme01]

Honestly, the most surprising thing in this video was that there exists an emulator of anything that runs on PC-98; I never thought there was enough overlap between the two things for that to happen. But yeah, more hardware stuff would be really cool to see. Actually, one thing that I'd find really helpful would be some kind of quick overview of the competing PC platorms in Japan for the 80s and/or early 90s, and why you choose to buy or release software for a given platform. In particular, I've never had a sense of how Fujistsu and Sharp, being the largest alternatives to NEC's platforms, differentiated their computers from each other within that "alternative to NEC" space.

[@juan6505]

Yeah, that was cool. Please keep on making this hardware-focused videos occasionally. It's always nice to see how stuff worked in old computers and the workarounds that one had to do to make them work, like the how the brittlest part of the Famicom Disk System was a rubber band and how it was not that easy to replace despite being a simple component.

[@fmsyntheses]

Please do this kind of thing as much as you want! I love going through old data. Finding old save games, old documents, remembering what I was doing at the time. Seeing how awful my old writing is.

[@lhfirex]

This was pretty cool. Neat to see some old hardware getting recovered, and to see adapters and such for old hardware that aren't gross looking from years of neglect on a shelf.

Do you think some time you could put together a playlist of your favorite PC 88 and 98 OSTs? Im an attorney who does a ton of intense, hours long research/writing from home and i'd love to put some of these on in the background. That Night Slave title track was great.

[@Zeithri]

Yes, the answer is anything PC-88/98 related. Night Slave

[@ShadowBasch]

[@Your_Degenerate]

I like reliving memories from my old computers. I believe I still have a type of adapter for laptop HDD which covers the drive in a shell and provides a USB port. It was great for retrieving files as well as an option for portable storage.

[@YuroStyle]

I don’t usually comment, but I am a fan of old hardware and this channel. Keep up the good work.

[@axelprino]

I actually find it fascinating to take a peek at all of this Japan-only tech, it's so curious how they were essentially doing their own thing in the PC space for like two decades or more while the rest of the world usually shared standards. Kinda like reading about the often poorly documented Galapagozation that mobile phones went through during the 2000's and then caused loads of Japan exclusive mobile games to become lost media because they only run on hyper-specific hardware and it was all distributed through services that are long gone.

[@EpsilDelta197]

Fortunately G-Mode (As G-Mode Archives) has been porting some of these games to modern systems! It's a shame that so much of Japan's gaming industry is just lost to time due to differing standards.

[@whisper2053]

Absolutely yes. Anything & everything (hard- or software) is appreciated!

[@Bargadiel]

I collect old games, and have always known about MSX and PC-98 but may never jump down those rabbit holes myself, but appreciate that you do. Fantastic content.

[@whatismyname5151]

Love seeing the hardware stuff, I think that is just as interesting as the game reviews.

[@mtgAzim]

Yes, we definitely like these types of video's. It's true that what got us all here were the games, but now that you have a base of regular viewers, you can do more varied content if you want, and we'll be here for it. 😁👍🏻

[@Larry]

Night Slave looks quite similar to the Assault Suit games, are they related? Also, silly question, have you checked if it's the AC adaptor that's gone on your laptop, rather than the machine itself?

[@BasementBrothers]

I don't know if Night Slave is related... really don't know that much about the game to be honest. Sorry. Haha. No question is too silly when it comes to troubleshooting PCs! Yes, in addition to the regular AC Adapter I have for the laptop, I also have the docking station as an alternate means of powering it. When I try to power it up, I can see that it is getting power since the hard drive access indicator does turn on for a brief instant. I've taken the machine apart, but I'm afraid this repair job is probably a bit beyond my skill level... mostly because it is a laptop and is thus much less modular than a PC-9821 desktop. Thanks for watching!

[@flashcardz3150]

It's cool that you managed to get your old, OLD saves backed up finally. Night Slave looks like a cool mecha game. Reminds me of Metal Warriors or Assault Suits Valken for the SNES.

[@timothyapplegate2881]

When it comes to old games, I find the hardware as interesting as the software. As an interactive medium, how you launch or control the game is as important as the game itself.

[@zed-xr4353]

Great episode, as always.

[@ドリフト180X]

It’s cool seeing that PC98 laptop, because they appear in PC98 games in backgrounds of visual novels or point and click adventure games sometimes.

[@mtgAzim]

I wouldn't expect any less of you, but it's still nice to see that when you open the case, it looks like it's brand new. You really take good care of these machines. 😌

[@NimrPanther]

This was really fun to watch! Doing these little hardware vids gives some insight/context about what it is or would’ve been like to own a PC like this.

[@therealquinnzack1819]

This was so much fun; and I’d like to say I think a video covering Night Slave, or a catch-all video about some games you used to play on that old laptop would be really cool

[@Nemo2342]

[@Eyetrauma]

2:43 I think it’s kinda cool, actually. The VBIOS in most GPUs is a common sight even on computers today, and this feature under DOS allows people with network cards to do stuff like hot-patch HDD handling with XTIDE.

[@JRTIntervencion]

The intro sequence of Gensei Kitan Disc Saga III *rocks*!!

[@JimMorrisonsBathtub]

I love the hardware videos

[@Nukle0n]

Even on IBM compatibles you have a lot of option roms, early machines needed an added VGA bios that you'd often see before the actual system BIOS up until the 00s, and you very often had an ROM slot on networking cards because well, the PC needs something to boot from that then initializes the networking card and downloads whatever OS is on the web server. You can also use those to add in a better IDE BIOS, lots of early PCs with IDE only supported up to 512 or 2048 GB, the confusingly named XT-IDE BIOS helps overcome that.

[@SoulFyr]

We definitely need a video on Genaei Kitan Disc Saga III !!!!!

[@Big_Dai]

@3:32 I can imagine an alternate universe where he is recording this video for content.. and the thing doesn't work.

[@BasementBrothers]

I can too my friend... I can too... But knowing myself, in that case I think I probably would have just not made this video at all.

[@redrum3r]

Something about The 98 emulating The 88 just seems so hardcore.

[@noemedmedia]

LOVE the hardware content!

[@3DGECASE]

Regarding the ROM takeover, my guess would be that the file slot is just an extension of C-Bus, so a SCSI card's ROMs taking over the system is fairly normal and benign, and happens on western PCs too (modern SCSI/SAS cards still do this over PCI and PCIe), to allow the system to see the drive as if it were attached to a built-in interface (hence why the drive can show up in the boot menu). Heck, most video cards used to work the same way with the VBIOS, expanding the built-in BIOS functionality, until the PC BIOS itself was phased out in favor of UEFI.

[@BasementBrothers]

Well, it might be related to the C-bus, but as to where it's physically located on the system, the file slot is actually just three ports on the same daughterboard as the floppy drive ports. So it would make sense that bootable devices could be connected through that board.

[@3DGECASE]

@@BasementBrothers That would make sense, given the location. It could be something different and my guess could be completely wrong about it being C-Bus with a strange connector. I've seen many strange expansion ports on western PCs that just end up being the ISA bus with a weird connector, and since C-Bus is similar in principle to ISA (direct connection to the CPU) I thought it'd make the most sense for something where a ROM can just insert itself into the boot process. I only just got a PC-9821 a few days ago (trying to fight with its aged IDE HDD as I type this) and the C-Bus SCSI card the seller included did the same boot ROM shenanigans I'd expect out of a PC ISA SCSI card.

[@BasementBrothers]

Oh yeah, SCSI definitely has to be bootable too. I would suspect that most ports on the machine are probably capable of having a ROM connected that could then just boot at startup. PC manufacturers were much less concerned about that sort of security back then. When I said it was "kind of scary" in the video it was meant to be sort of tongue-in cheek. Congratulations and good luck on the PC-9821 purchase by the way. Those old HDD's are really noisy, aren't they?

[@3DGECASE]

@@BasementBrothers Oh definitely noisy, with all of the knocking about as the head swings around. At least the whirring noise seems quieter than the faster drives of the early 2000s, that noise gives me a headache after a while (and always has). But yeah, computer security at the low level was basically non-existent for the longest time.

[@zerodeadbit]

as the kids say, its kino. Keep it up!

[@bluedragon219123]

PC88SR seems like a really interesting emulator as well as a why to save time and money and space as you would only need one NEC PC. When was it released as I doubt was during the heyday of the PC-88. Also how's it's accuracy and speed as the PC-98 is more powerful than the PC-88 but is it powerful enough to actually emulate a PC-88? Still Great Job on the Video! :)

[@BasementBrothers]

It's lacking many of the options you would get from a PC-88 emulator for Windows and is difficult to figure out how to set up and use. Once it's running, I found it actually works best for newer PC-88 games. Older games where the speed is determined by CPU cycles are the biggest problem I encountered. Whereas in M88 or another Windows emulator you can just choose to emulate 4mhz or 8mhz speed, on P88SR you have to adjust the timing manually yourself. The biggest advantage I found to using it over a PC-88 emulator for Windows is that it uses the actual Yamaha FM soundchip on the PC-98 instead of FM emulation.

[@chasonlapointe]

I like learned about hardware because I'm not familiar with the PCs you use in your videos. Maybe you could consider making a hardware/operating system review video for both machines? As someone interested buy unfamiliar with these computers, I would really appreciate videos that were introductory in nature covering the architecture of these machines.

[@BasementBrothers]

I do have a tour video on my PC-88. (Search for my video about the "PC-8801MC") That's the only video I will probably do on the PC-88 hardware. I've been considering a video tour of my PC-98 as well. We'll see.

"Also, don't buy a PC-98" Me who just bought a PC-98... xD (I am not looking forward to the shipping cost from Japan to Norway...) To be entirely fair, if it doesn't work, that's fine with me, I just want to have one and if it happens to work, I can play the PC-98 games I've bought, if it doesn't it'll go on the display shelf next to my original 486 and Colecovision. (Though, again, to be fair to the 486, that still works, it's just a pain to get games to it and the original hard drive is completely dead, as for the Colecovision, that's dead, or at least the power supply is and I've never been able to find a replacement to see if the system functions or not)

[@benjaminbarfoot305]

Hello Basement Brothers. I’ve become a fan of your channel over the last year and have become inspired enough to visit japan and look around for pc98 games. Do you reccomend a pc98 laptop? I hear the sound is not great, but do they play floppy’s? Or is it just cds? The reason I ask is I likely do not have space for an actual pc 98 at home

[@BasementBrothers]

I had the same idea when I bought my first PC-98. Yeah, a laptop will use less space... The sound is fine on laptops as long as you get one with built-in stereo FM sound. Where did you hear that it is not great? There are ways to get around the floppy limitations... but only to an extent. (There's a program that will let you boot from virtual floppies that you can find as part of the "YAHDI" hard drive image. It works in my experience, but I'm sure there are compatibility issues.) So, in general desktops offer more compatibility with more games. But also keep in mind that there is no PC-98 model that will play every single PC-98 game. (Models like the one I own come very close, but can still have issues with some very old PC-98 games from the 80's.) I'd say you can get by with a laptop if you really don't want to use the space for a desktop, but be ready to improvise to make some games work.

[@benjaminbarfoot305]

Thanks. Maybe I’ll just buy the games for displaying and emulate them on my pc for playing. I just thought it’d be nice to play on actual hardware too :)

@@BasementBrothers Well, a Ranma review might at least attract anime fans (as the anime is still pretty popular despite not getting any sort of revival outside of the odd TV special here and there). Personally I'm also curious about the Dragon Slayer series. That's one I got accidentally introduced to--I always had this game called Legacy of the Wizard for NES since I was a kid, and then I grow up and find its part of a series.... I own Sorcerian for MS-DOS but didn't play much of it because at the time it seemed intimidating to me, though maybe its time to give it another shot. Incidentally another direction you might wanna consider with your series--since a lot of Japanese PC games are getting released on Nintendo Switch (and I think in some cases Steam as well) under the "Egg Console" branding, it would be nice to know which games are English-friendly and which aren't. For some reason they released Ys I and II on the US e-Shop but did NOT translate the games, same for the Hydlide trilogy (which sucks because I actually would like to play Hydlide 2 in English).
