Four Internal Dev Disks from Randnet

Published on 23 May 2025

Thanks to ConsoleVariations and GamingLegend64, we got some internal Randnet stuff, and we’re releasing the dumps of 4 blue development disks from Randnet!

All of them are some form of the Randnet Disk Internet Browser:

• The first one (BD113) is a debug test of different features of the Randnet API with a very early web browser that unfortunately refuses to let you browse the web.
• The second one (BD-104) is actually possibly a build we’ve seen before from the japanese TV show GameWave, with very early title screen and menus.
• The third one (H0000819) is just the same build as final Rev. 00.
• The fourth one (T0000017) is a build from after final Rev. 00 by a few weeks, but still before Rev. 01.

For more information about them, Hard4Games has prepared a video about it here: https://youtu.be/lZT6x0Egdz4
The video will do a reminder of how things were, including a “playthrough” of those disks on real hardware! Though there isn’t really much to do here but hey, that’s how things are. They also show the disks!

You can find those dumps in Database page in the Development tab.

Oh yeah, I made another update: you can now directly link to a tab in a page for easier sharing, see the link above where it should link you straight to it. I hope the small update makes it a bit easier for people to browse through.
