Title: PC-FX Serial Numbers.
Post by: Mednafen on 11/25/2008, 10:32 PM
A topic elsewhere (http://www.vr32.de/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=3127&forum=1) had a good idea, so I thought I'd start a serial number listing here for the PC-FX and its accessories.
Post replies with your own serial numbers(including a note of what device they're for), and...please double-check your numbers before hitting THE BUTTON. :b

My PCFX ISA card is 6600453YA.

I'm about to flog it on ebay (need the money).  If anyone wants it, do a search in about 48 hours.  =)

For anyone who has time, a PC-FX, and a blank CD-R, could you burn:

http://nekozomb.fobby.net/junk/hextest.zip

onto a disc, run it, press Select, and post here with the first few characters(like "08E36..." or whatever) beneath "MD5 for"?  And also include your PC-FX's serial number(located on the bottom) as well?  I'm trying to figure out how many BIOS versions there are, and if there are any that are still undumped, to dump them.

Example screen of what it should look similar to(MD5 value and the 2-digit byte values will potentially be different):

I was going to get the BMP and mouse serials but they arent on the outsides so I went OHtgroeijyhoijb

and proceeded to play PS3.

are they inside?  I will dismantle if they are!

Post by: Mednafen on 03/31/2011, 06:18 PM
They probably don't have serials, so don't bother with dismantling.

So I stopped being lazy and decided to grab my pc-fx out of storage and looked at the serial number for this...

4X04393YA

If I feel up to it later I will run that program on it as well...

Alright, I hooked up the system to the tv and ran your disc... the screen ends with 0001048576

There is no line for the md5...

Here is a link to the pic: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f369/TruMisery/100_0179.jpg

You have to press Select and wait a few seconds for the MD5 stuff to be calculated and appear.

Mednafen, are you still interested in the serial numbers?
I've got a PC-FX, -SCSI and -FXGA/V in the basement and could look up the Serial numbers if you are interested...
