in 1996 a virtual pet game came out on windows computers called Fin Fin on Teo the Magic Planet. the whole idea was that a mic was included which youd use to interact with fin fin, along with just seeing him chill on his home planet. really chill and ambient game which had a ton of really nice pre rendered graphics.

a few months ago, i was doing some research for an unrelated project about the n64 disk drive expansion. while we were looking at the list of cancelled games, try to imagine the cognitive dissonance i had when i saw something called TEO 64 in there. after little bit more research, all ive been able to gather was that fin fin on teo was a game planned for the disk drive, but not much else. if anyone here knows anything else about it, im all ears. if i find any more information on my own, ill update this thread

id post a few links but i cant since my account is so new

heres a clipping about it in a magazine named "Total!"

@LuigiBlood is a fountain of knowledge, perhaps they know something?
Ah yes, LuigiBlood is great.

I've seen LGR do a video on this.

It wouldn't surprise me if this game is one of ports that doesn't actually exist and was never in development. Non-Japanese gaming magazines back then tended to make up fake ports of games based on little or no evidence. If there's no Japanese source I would take what the magazine is saying with a grain of salt. I remember reading stuff on Sonic Retro and Sega Retro how about how old magazines made up ports of games that never existed for the Genesis and Dreamcast and it was a pain for making wiki articles.

  • B @ BigArnold:
    Can you guys help with my problem concerning my Switch?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Did you switch it up
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Switch what up?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Switch the switch to resolve your issue
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, sorry but i cant, i dont have a switch. also what k3nv2 says is a joke
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's what I figured. I put a post up in a forum but no one seems to replying to posts there. I also don't what this chat is attached to.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    General chat as it implies
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, try posting in the "switch noob paradise" thread
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's where I put it. But like I said other people's posts from a day or two ago have no responses. I'm not sure if the chat is part of the Nintendo forum that I'm on or a part of the website as a whole.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, part of the website as a whole
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    then try making a thread
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    wait you are too new to be able to do that
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's fine. I'll find my way.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @BigArnold you put the fusee or hekate.bin in the hekate/ payloads folder, or use app to push the payload to switch while its in rcm mode

  • B @ BigArnold:
    The problem is is that TegraGUI isn't detecting my Switch despite it being plugged in and in RCM or maintenance mode.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Did you click install driver inside the tegra app.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did all of that stuff and it seemed successful but still nothing. The only thing different from the guide I used was that my device wasn't showing up as APX but rather Nintendo Switch.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did it inside the Tegra app and Zadig.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Try a different USB c cable, or different USB port on your pc.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I tried a different port and don't have another cable. I'm fairly certain there's no issue with the equipment I'm using.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Some cheap USB c cables don't send data, they only charge
  • B @ BigArnold:
    The cable is usually used to connect my controller to my switch's dock.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Only other thing Id suggest is using a phone/tablet and use the Rekato app, or different pc
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Okay then.
    Thanks for your help.
