Possible near-final SM64 prototype?

[toonjoey]

I have excellent news and I have terrible news.

Excellent news--I may have a Super Mario 64 prototype on my hands, with a small handful of features unimplemented.

Bad news:
1.I don't think I can/can't dump it
2.My N64 will not work with my HDMI cables(?)
3.It might not even be a prototype and my memory is terrible

The one feature I remember not being implemented is hat damage--normally when Mario lost his hat, he would take more damage. But in my version he takes the same damage as always.

I'll post more news when I can.

What labels are on your cartridge?

Mine has on the front:
NUS-006 (USA)
NUS-NSME-USA

On the back:
NUS-USA/CAN with the number "20" lightly stamped to the right of it

Looking at the cartridge...it's slightly different.

Front:
NUS-006 (USA)
NUS-NSME-USA-1

Nothing on the back like yours AFAIK. But the back does say something special IMO:the copyright is 1996, 1997, but the circle with the M in it is 1995.

EDIT:Also the cartridge is NOT mint-condition. It's been there since my brother had gotten it back in the 90s(?)...there are alot of scratches.

The box is unfortunately lost to time.

There the same image lol

As I said on the chat that is the player's choice cartridge which was released after the game hit a million sales

[toonjoey]

Working on getting this dumped, gonna take a long time. It's all gonna be worth it*!






​*Possibly, my memory is bad

LMAO.
Not a proto at all.
If it was a proto, it would be the size of two cartridges, not one. Secondly, proto's do not have any stickers or labels of it at all except for the games title but no artwork. Not even the back on the cartridge where it displays the warnings (In the picture you showed). Don't bother ripping it.

Video and more picture proof, or it never happened.
