Were they at least listed as boots/ repros?
Actually there were boots before the rom was released, I'm guessing someone couldn't wait and dumped a cart. I saw a few on ebay a while back and they went for $500-$1k each iirc.
Those are the loose cart or complete kit made by Raz. People bought several copies and sold them the way they want................
On the subject of ROMs, could someone provide me with a link please (by PM?)? It seems like they are shared in a half hearted way and as a result people that got them are making repros whilst people that just want a set for emulator and as a backup to their carts from Jeff cannot get them. The alternative is for me to dump my own but I've been trying to avoid doing that as there's always risk I will corrupt one removing them all (albeit pretty low risk).
Is it too much to ask that someone host the ROMs and post a link here? That way the thread title will actually make sense.
Would still like to get my hands on a AES copy. I do have the CD version... But it just does not feel the same.
You're right. It should feel more authentic for the CD version.
Will an MVS conversion work with any of the MVS -> AES converters?
If it's in the format, why wouldn't it work with that?
Because most of the mvs converters aren't 100% compatible with the entire library. It's more complicated than converters for other systems which are effectively passive adapters. MVS to AES conversion involves converting data from parallel to serial format.
it was mostly done to dissuade people from easily putting homecarts into the arcades?
shady operators back then just jammafied a home system...and AFAIK, so far, they still have succeeded in that as there are no such converters commercially available.

You need bios hacking as well.
