>selling repros
>selling romhacks repros

Some people have really no shame. Fucking both the devs/publishers and the fans of the games. That's like asking to be hated by everyone.

>>3813272
I don't want to defend him, but if people are happy with buying repros, customers have problems as well.

At least he's not cannibalizing anything.

doesnt surprise me
the who retro game "industry" is a huge rip off
every game worth playing is 200 plus with some sellers expecting 50 for postage. add the box which is a extra 100. there 50 copies all wanting the same insane price
fuck resellers

can't whine though, such is life in a capitalist world

>>3813507
He's clearly not using donor carts, no one is loosing cash from him selling a 20 year old bootleg port of Sonic for the NES. Anyone buying rom hacks knows what they're buying.

>>3813628
What's the alternative? He surely isn't making new pcbs

>>3813727
You can buy them for game boy and nes, not sure about snes but it seems likely.

>>3813748
I dunno man. Seems like something so niche that no one would even want to do them

>>3813292
This picture fascinates me. On the one hand they had the pad down thinking it would just be a small contained mess, but on the other you've got a person with a camera ready and standing at a far enough distance away to capture the massive stream that is coming forth, as if they knew it would happen. It's paradoxical.

inb4 C&D because of this article

http://www.real-fix.com/animals/this-is-why-you-should-never-leave-your-dogs-alone-with-chocolate/

>>3814032

I don't think anyone's actually defending it

>Chocolate contains Theobromine, a stimulant that is poisonous to dogs and can cause fatal.

>>3814160
Theobromine is actually poisonous to humans as well but it takes a lot of it to do anything and usually people just vomit it all up when they eat too much. Theobromine is very similar to caffeine but it's less potent. Caffeine is extremely dangerous for animals in general especially dogs and cats.

>>3813727
Of course not, he buys them.

You seem to have strong oppinions for something you know so little about. If you bothered to actully glance at the article before spouting off about it you'd see pics of the PCBs he uses, and if you ever open up a cartridge you'll notice the official boards look different to the ones he's using.

Infact if you've ever even seen some official cartridges you'd notice they don't come in the colours shown in OP's pic.

>>3814032
Some people want physical copies of rom hacks, I don't understand it myself but I don't see a problem with it.

>>3814278
It's for the emulation-phobics and hardware fetishists.

They're two separate things, but there's a lot of overlap.

>>3814163
Also, we can metabolize caffeine or theobromine.
Cats and dogs can't.

Chocolate sucks dick anyway. I don't understand how people can eat that garbage.

That's a typo isn't it, not a native speaker and can't be bothered to check.

>How's he fucking anyone?
He's fucking the translation teams.
How? Let's say you buy a repro of Dragon Quest V. At the beginning it has a intro screen from <x> Fan translation team. Now that's cool and all but let's change the scenario up a bit.
Let's say someone at SquareEnix finds this repro cart.
They, legally, need to threaten legal action to protect their copyright. So they find information on the fan translation team and have their legal team send a letter their way.
For something they did not distribute (I don't care what some idiots say, text difference files of the script are not legally copyright claimable by the original creator)
I've been involved in quite a few translations, and had cease and desists sent my way over a repro cart.

Then there's the whole profiting off of the hundreds, if not thousands of hours of combined man hours of others, against their wishes.

But sure, these idiots doing this has no negatives.

>>3814269
Funny... just last year i bought half a dozen PCB,s from Mort Of Games, some burned chips from another guy i met on some forum and built myself nice repros, Erthbound, Castlevania X, Demons Crest, Sunset Riders, Chronno Trigger and iron Commando.

The ones in your link look different and also cheaper... might be ordering some in the next few weeks, anyone has any feedback on that website? is it reliable? are they based in the US?

More like artisANAL ammirite?

>>3813409
the article cleary states he may reuse parts in addition to new reproduction parts

so, yes, he is destroying original games to make his bootleg trash

>" He either uses motherboards pulled and repurposed from old games or (more expensively) brand-new ones custom-made for the purpose, using a soldering iron to place the EPROM chips containing the games themselves."

There's no ambiguity there, clearly states he does both.

>>3815047
If it's not enforcable then where's the harm done?

As for it being against the wishes of the creator, did the rom hackers care about the wishes of the original creators of the games?

Him profiting from these sales only harns the creators of the hacks if they're also selling them and he's cutting into their business. In that case they have a valid complaint.

>>3813425
>cheap
That nigga prolly charging at least 40$ a pop

>>3815163
Oh noes, he destroyed some shitty sports games you couldn't give away.

I remember the joke that went

>Artis anal cheese
>Art is anal cheese

>>3815047
don't some people add a "if you were sold this, you got ripped off" disclaimer?

>>3813269
Does it trigger you that some folks want colorful cases ala Famicom and are willing to pay someone to make it rather than collect 200 dollar plastic boxes of grey sadness?

Whats artisinal about them? They just look like repros in various colored cartridges

>>3815852
I've seen lots of art that looks worse than anal cheese
