    Is there any significant amount of disc-based homebrew releases? Or is it still few and far between?

    There’s a handful of PS1 homebrew, and an increasing amount of Saturn homebrew, though disc publications are rare. Dreamcast homebrew and physical releases are plentiful however.

  2. Good luck in your search!

    I recently found the Tanglewood soundtrack cart (with a full Collector’s Edition box), but I left a few feelers out that might still get back to me. If any come back with leads I’ll let you know.

    Regarding Eternalist, I’m also looking for this one. I reached out to one of the backers and they said the cart never materialized (at least for them). So I’m trying to find out if these even truly exist beyond their Kickstarter promise.

  3. I don’t know why I’m getting reports about this one. Stop pinging mods because you disagree with someone.

    This thread isn’t a flame war yet, but because you’ve deliberately pulled the staff in, anyone who does go over the line gets a warning, or if you’re one of the people who’s been told you’re on your last chance, behave.

    Everyone take a breath and try and engage in respectful discourse. I swear it used to exist somewhere.

    Has anybody responded to this thread who has professional experience? Not trying to say people can’t have opinions, but would like to hear from somebody who knows what the heck is going on. 

    I am a lawyer, but leveraging it to weigh in on this thread any more than I’m about to is not worth it. I’ve tried to explain fraud was committed here, people who don’t know the law think that because there isn’t a specific law means that condones the behavior, but civil law provides for duties and responsibilities based on the representations people make to others. That creates legal liability.

    I don't get it, pretending something is worth more than it is isn't a crime. It's also not a crime for me to lie to you about its value.

    I could literally draw up some charts in Microsoft Paint, fabricate some numbers, have my friends corroborate the values and do media interviews about the sky high prices. If you give me or anyone else money based on your zero research, the fault is yours, not mine. It is fully your responsibility for any investment you make based on any information you accept.

    I could tell you Dogecoin is going to be the next official currency of the moon peoples and you better buy it all up. If you actually do that, that's on you. People are acting like it's somehow Deniz's fault that he convinced people to buy things.

    Disclaimer: I have no interest in Wata and do not even collect sealed games. I just can't sit here and read about people saying it's anyone else's fault but their own for a bad investment.

    Side note: I don't see anyone here discussing how the $100,100 Super Mario Bros. sale wasn't even actually a sale. Deniz mentioned in his deposition weeks ago that the game was never sold, the original owner (Bronty) still retains interest in the game and they made up the sale price for hype. I thought that would have more people upset, that was a pretty shit thing to do.

    You’re defending fraud, but weren’t you whining how you couldn’t buy one of KHAN’s games because he wasn’t “following Kickstarter’s rules”. You need to stop speaking like you understand the plain reading of basic rules of conduct.

    Holy gamole.  That “old timer” sure is flipping out.  Was RH’s question ever actually answered beyond, “how dare you! Why would I fake a proto?! These are definitely 100% absolutely indisputably not fake!”   Irritating. 

    I don’t believe so, no. RH asked specifically about the labels looking in better condition than would be usual for the item. Seller never directly answered, instead getting defensive and acting as though no specific concern were raised, instead attacking him as an ignorant amateur.
