Hrmm, I support EMU's. But this stuff is disgusting. Selling ROM's for profit, not cool. I guess they could defend themselves by saying they're selling the disc because they downloaded the ROM's for someone on a slow connection. So they don't have to sit and download 650Mb of roms. BUT, that argument doesn't hold water. However, are we really going to get ebay to take down these rom auctions now that SNK is gone?

Peace

Unfortunately that auction is Ebay Italy . . . not sure where to report that bogus auction. In the U.S. it is safeharbor@ebay.com and in the UK it is ukinvestigations@ebay.com .

I do not. I do really think emus are only a way to get ol' good games for free. This whole thing sucks. Just because ppl using emus are not honest (don't take it as an offense) even more when clicking on that button saying 'you can only download this game if you own the original rom'. Bah <IMG SRC="smilies/spock.gif" border="0">

Tora,

Good job finding the email address to report bogus auctions!! Here is a sample of my text for reporting auctions:

The following auction:

[insert the link to the auction here]

is an illegal auction of emulated games (ROMs) burned onto CDR discs. The seller has no licensing or sales rights to these games, and had nothing to do with creating them. ROMs (PC data files of original arcade or console games) are illegally dumped code from the original arcade games, and as such are not legal to sell. Since Neo Geo cartridge games typically cost $50-$300 each, if he were selling REAL Neo Geo games the cost would be more like $10,000+ for this kind of auction.

Please end this auction immediately and warn the seller about future such auctions.

Thank you,

(sign your name/ebay ID here)

Tora still not sure if J00 supposed to have Ebay account to complain but left one anyway.

Here is Italian version of what chimpmeister-sama said and Tora sent to Ebay.

La seguente asta
http://cgi.ebay.it/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1296355918

è un' asta illegale dei giochi emulati (ROM) bruciati sui dischi dei CDR. Il venditore non ha autorizzare o diritti di vendite a questi giochi ed ha avuto niente a che fare con la creazione loro. Le ROM (schedari di dati del PC dei giochi originali della sezione comandi o del arcade) sono codice illegalmente fatto uscire dai giochi di arcade originali e poichè tali non sono legali vendere. Dalla neo cartuccia di Geo i giochi hanno costato tipicamente $50-$300 ciascuno, se stesse vendendo i neo giochi che REALI di Geo il costo sarebbe più come $10.000+ per questo genere di asta.

Concludere prego immediatamente questa asta ed avvertire il venditore circa futuro tali aste.

Grazie,

Torakira Kouhibiki Hoshi ^v^

Wish Tora luck.
