with video games after seeing his daughter play games on Nintendo's <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System" title="Nintendo Entertainment System">Famicom</a> video game console. He took on a contract at Sony for developing the S-SMP audio chip of Nintendo's next console, the <a href="/wiki/Super_Nintendo_Entertainment_System" title="Super Nintendo Entertainment System">Super NES</a>. Kutaragi secretly developed the chip, the <a href="/wiki/Sony_SPC_700" class="mw-redirect" title="Sony SPC 700">Sony SPC 700</a>. Sony was uninterested in the video game business, so most of his superiors did not approve of the project, but Kutaragi found support in Sony executive <a href="/wiki/Norio_Ohga" title="Norio Ohga">Norio Ohga</a> and the project was allowed to continue. The success of the project spurred Kutaragi, who believed CD-ROMs would overtake cartridges, to propose a CD-ROM drive for the Super NES. Nintendo disagreed, believing that CD-ROMs were too slow, but agreed to allow Sony to design the add-on after Kutaragi claimed the drive would be used for everything but games.<a href="#cite_note-Kotaku-9">[8]</a> The result of the deal would be a CD-ROM add-on for the Super NES as well as a Sony-branded console called PlayStation that would play both Super NES cartridges and Super Disc games. Development of the format started in late 1988, when <a href="/wiki/Nintendo" title="Nintendo">Nintendo</a> signed the contract with <a href="/wiki/Sony" title="Sony">Sony</a>. The system was to be compatible with existing Super NES cartridges and with games released for the Super Disc format.<a href="#cite_note-Edge-10">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-IGN-11">[10]</a> Under their agreement, Sony would develop and retain control over the Super Disc format, with Nintendo thus effectively ceding a large amount of control of software licensing to Sony. Further, Sony would also be the sole benefactor of licensing related to music and movies software that it had been aggressively pursuing as a secondary application.<a href="#cite_note-vgc_ps_history-12">[11]</a> Nintendo president <a href="/wiki/Hiroshi_Yamauchi" title="Hiroshi Yamauchi">Hiroshi Yamauchi</a> was already wary of Sony at this point and deemed it unacceptable, because Sony was the sole provider of the S-SMP audio chip in the SNES and required developers to buy its expensive and proprietary audio development tool.<a href="#cite_note-vgc_ps_history-12">[11]</a> Nintendo had become suspicious of Sony's growth, because of the combination of the audio chip, Sony's PlayStation hybrid console, and Sony's rapid expansion beyond its electronics origins into music, movies, and most recently software. Nintendo suspected that it had become a prop in Sony's console ambitions.<a href="#cite_note-Kotaku-9">[8]</a> Furthermore, Yamauchi started to see a more favorable partner in <a href="/wiki/Philips" title="Philips">Philips</a>, one of Sony's largest competitors. To counter the proposed agreement, Yamauchi sent Nintendo of America president <a href="/wiki/Minoru_Arakawa" title="Minoru Arakawa">Minoru Arakawa</a> and executive <a href="/wiki/Howard_Lincoln" title="Howard Lincoln">Howard Lincoln</a> to the Netherlands to negotiate a more favorable contract with Philips. As <a href="/wiki/David_Sheff" title="David Sheff">David Sheff</a> said in his book <a href="/wiki/Game_Over_(Sheff_book)" title="Game Over (Sheff book)">Game Over</a>, "[The Philips deal] was meant to do two things at once: give Nintendo back its stranglehold on software and gracefully f--k Sony."<a href="#cite_note-vgc_ps_history-12">[11]</a> At the June 1991 <a href="/wiki/Consumer_Electronics_Show" class="mw-redirect" title="Consumer Electronics Show">Consumer Electronics Show</a>, Sony announced its SNES-compatible console based on both <a href="/wiki/ROM_cartridge" title="ROM cartridge">cartridge</a> and CD, called the PlayStation.<a href="#cite_note-Edge-10">[9]</a> The next day, Nintendo revealed its partnership with Philips at the show, which surprised the audience, including Sony.<a href="#cite_note-13">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-IGN-11">[10]</a> While Nintendo and Sony attempted to resolve their differences, between two to three hundred prototypes of the PlayStation were produced,<a href="#cite_note-14">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-SNES_CD_UM-15">[14]</a> and software for the system was being developed. In 1992, a deal was reached allowing Sony to produce SNES-compatible hardware, with Nintendo retaining control and profit over the games. The organizations never repaired their rift afterwards, although Sony executives remained convinced that remaining with the more experienced Nintendo was the best course of action. By the next year, upon Kutaragi's suggestions, Sony had dropped further development of the Super NES CD-ROM to develop its own console for the <a href="/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_(fifth_generation)" class="mw-redirect" title="History of video game consoles (fifth generation)">next generation</a>, the <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_(console)" title="PlayStation (console)">PlayStation</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Eurogamer-16">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-1up-17">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-vgc_ps_history-12">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-Kotaku-9">[8]</a> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><h2 id="Sony_PlayStation_prototype">Sony PlayStation prototype</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Super_NES_CD-ROM&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Sony PlayStation prototype" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Nintendo_Playstation_Prototype_(26398118438).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Nintendo_Playstation_Prototype_%2826398118438%29.jpg/260px-Nintendo_Playstation_Prototype_%2826398118438%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="92" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="5760" data-file-height="2036"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 260px;height: 92px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Nintendo_Playstation_Prototype_%2826398118438%29.jpg/260px-Nintendo_Playstation_Prototype_%2826398118438%29.jpg" data-width="260" data-height="92" data-mw-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Nintendo_Playstation_Prototype_%2826398118438%29.jpg/390px-Nintendo_Playstation_Prototype_%2826398118438%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Nintendo_Playstation_Prototype_%2826398118438%29.jpg/520px-Nintendo_Playstation_Prototype_%2826398118438%29.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>The only known SNES-based Sony PlayStation prototype; a <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_(console)" title="PlayStation (console)">Sony PlayStation</a> can be seen on the right</figcaption></figure> In July 2015, it was reported that one of the original Sony PlayStation prototypes had been found. The prototype was reportedly abandoned by former Sony Computer Entertainment CEO <a href="/wiki/%C3%93lafur_J%C3%B3hann_%C3%93lafsson" title="Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson">Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson</a> during his time at <a href="/wiki/Advanta" title="Advanta">Advanta</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Protoype-18">[17]</a> A former Advanta worker, Terry Diebold, acquired the device as part of a lot during Advanta's 2009 bankruptcy auction. The system was later confirmed as operational and plays Super Famicom cartridges as well as its included test cartridge, although the audio output and CD drive were non-functional. The original power supply for the system was never received by Diebold during his time at Advanta, so he used a third-party power supply to power it.<a href="#cite_note-EngadgetTest-7">[6]</a> The prototype came with a Sony/PlayStation-branded version of the standard Super Famicom controller (model number SHVC-005).<a href="#cite_note-19">[18]</a> Some groups have attempted to develop homebrew software for the console such as Super Boss Gaiden, as there were no known games to use the CD drive.<a href="#cite_note-20">[19]</a> In March 2016, retro-gaming website RetroCollect reported that it (and influential members of online <a href="/wiki/Emulator" title="Emulator">emulation</a> communities) had received (from an anonymous source) a functional disc <a href="/wiki/Boot_ROM" title="Boot ROM">boot ROM</a> for the SNES CD.<a href="#cite_note-21">[20]</a> Diebold had given the unit to hardware hacker <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Heckendorn" title="Benjamin Heckendorn">Benjamin Heckendorn</a>, to examine around 2016. He also posted a tear-down video of the system that same year.<a href="#cite_note-22">[21]</a> Heckendorn later identified faults in several on-board components which he subsequently replaced in 2017, resulting in fixing the audio and CD drive issues indirectly. Because the system never received its original power supply (Diebold never got the original one as mentioned above), Heckendorn created a custom power supply for the system using the original PlayStation's power supply along with replacing the original power connector of the system with the one from a <a href="/wiki/Sony_Walkman" class="mw-redirect" title="Sony Walkman">Sony Walkman</a>, to ensure that it would be powered on without the need for its original power supply. Heckendorn showed Super Famicom (and SNES games via an adapter) working on the system and also showed audio CDs working on the system as there were no known game CDs, but affirmed that homebrew games worked.<a href="#cite_note-23">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-24">[23]</a> The prototype was auctioned by Diebold in February 2020, with an initial price of US$15,000, but the auction quickly exceeded $350,000 within two days.<a href="#cite_note-25">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[25]</a> It was sold for $360,000 to Greg McLemore, an entrepreneur and founder of <a href="/wiki/Pets.com" title="Pets.com">Pets.com</a>, who has a large collection of other video game hardware and plans to establish a permanent museum for this type of hardware.<a href="#cite_note-27">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[27]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Technical_specifications">Technical specifications</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Super_NES_CD-ROM&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Technical specifications" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Heckendorn's July 2016 teardown video also provides some technical specifications of the prototype.<a href="#cite_note-29">[28]</a> The standalone unit features two Super NES controller ports, a cartridge slot, a dual-speed CD-ROM drive, <a href="/wiki/RCA_connector" title="RCA connector">RCA</a> composite jacks, <a href="/wiki/S-Video" title="S-Video">S-Video</a>, RFU DC OUT (similar to the PlayStation SCPH-1001), a proprietary multi-out AV output port (the same one featured on the Super NES, <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_64" title="Nintendo 64">Nintendo 64</a>, and <a href="/wiki/GameCube" title="GameCube">GameCube</a>), headphone jack on the front, a serial port labelled "NEXT" (probably for debugging), and one expansion port under the unit.

This contract provisioned Philips with the right to feature Nintendo's characters in a few games for its <a href="/wiki/CD-i" title="CD-i">CD-i</a> multimedia device, but never resulted in a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES. The Nintendo-themed CD-i games were very poorly received, and the CD-i is considered a <a href="/wiki/List_of_commercial_failures_in_video_gaming" class="mw-redirect" title="List of commercial failures in video gaming">commercial failure</a>.<a href="#cite_note-gamepro-32">[31]</a> The Nintendo-themed CD-i games would become popular on the internet years later. Sony would then pursue their ambitions to launch their own video game console and continued to develop the PlayStation, dropping compatibility with the SNES. They even entered a short-lived alliance with Sega, where it was agreed that both companies would share all costs and risk for the new CD-ROM drive, and ultimately the next generation console. Ultimately, Sega canceled the partnership, claiming that Sony knew little of the industry at the time. Sega then resumed development of what would eventually become the <a href="/wiki/Sega_Saturn" title="Sega Saturn">Sega Saturn</a>. The main game in development for the SNES CD platform launch was <a href="/wiki/Square_(video_game_company)" title="Square (video game company)">Square</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Secret_of_Mana#Development" title="Secret of Mana">Secret of Mana</a>, whose planned content was cut down to the size suitable for cartridge and released on that medium instead.<a href="#cite_note-SoM_Escapist-33">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-LEVELint-34">[33]</a> A tentative reconciliation in late 1992 gave better terms to Nintendo for game royalties while allowing Sony royalties for all other software and the rights to produce SNES-compatible hardware, such as the PlayStation. This resulted in more powerful hardware specifications. Kutaragi however became emboldened enough from his experiences working with Nintendo and Sega that Sony could go it alone from scratch, and broke away from Nintendo to develop their own next generation console. Sony released the <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_(console)" title="PlayStation (console)">PlayStation</a> in December 1994 in Japan and September 1995 in North America and Europe, and would go on to become a global success. This new next-generation CD-based console successfully competed with Nintendo's cartridge-based <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_64" title="Nintendo 64">Nintendo 64</a> as well as other CD-based consoles such as the <a href="/wiki/Fujitsu" title="Fujitsu">Fujitsu</a> <a href="/wiki/FM_Towns_Marty" title="FM Towns Marty">FM Towns Marty</a>, the <a href="/wiki/NEC" title="NEC">NEC</a> <a href="/wiki/PC-FX" title="PC-FX">PC-FX</a>, the <a href="/wiki/SNK" title="SNK">SNK</a> <a href="/wiki/Neo_Geo_CD" title="Neo Geo CD">Neo Geo CD</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Panasonic" title="Panasonic">Panasonic</a> <a href="/wiki/3DO" title="3DO">3DO</a>, and the Sega Saturn, making it a console leader. Sony would become a significant player in the video game industry, establishing the <a href="/wiki/PlayStation" title="PlayStation">PlayStation</a> brand which continues to this day. The broken partnership with Sony has often been cited as a mistake by Nintendo, effectively creating a formidable rival in the video game market as a consequence of Sony's and Kutaragi's shrewd determination to break into the market. It has also been argued that if Nintendo had never broken the deal, its position may have been further undermined by Sony.<a href="#cite_note-Gamasutra-35">[34]</a><a
