Bound to happen, the guys at my local market are probably selling it out of the back of a van anyway...

Oh, it's boots of the Dreamcast versions. Well, that was bound to happen eventually.

The amount of bootleg games on Etsy is ridiculous. I'd give them a pass if they were made with paper mache though.

People pester NG Dev incessantly to keep releasing more Dreamcast games, and their response has always been "Piracy killed that market for us." Etsy is Exhibit A.

Just looked at their site, and yeah that whole display line of products is really weird. You got a Hannah Montana limited edition PSP you want to proudly display? Rose colored gaming has you covered.

I appreciate these bootlegs are handmade to help ensure inauthenticity.

I just don't understand why NG.dev doesn't come to a license agreement with Neosd...

Let's admit it... people would pay "legitimately" to support the devs... if it was reasonable...

Knights Chance is also another game that could be "licensed"....

Meh... it's the way of the World...

PS. BEFORE any of you consider I am supporting romz distribution... i'd advise you to think LONG and HARD who you're replying to...

Blatant profiteering of something you can still buy today is in a whole different league than handing out some old roms.

I had IMPLIED.... that maybe the devs could promote themselves by distributing the games on a license basis... with neosd....

I did NOT say that I approve of what is happening on etsy... or other places...

Mofo...

The name of their display product line is puzzling too. It's spelled Displai. Umm, ok, do they pronounce "Gaiden" as gayden too? I'm hoping it's not pronounced like "diss -ply".

I grew up pirating and Aussie land is pretty much the piracy capital in terms of consumers so I'm not entirely against a $120 last hope cart as long as it works. What are the originals priced at? $500? probably more if you can even get them.

Last hope bootleg mvs carts I saw on aliexpress also.

I've seen those, too. NG.Dev MVS prices were always a bit too rich for my blood, so I went for the Dreamcast releases. Not from Etsy, though. I know it's a niche market, and the cartridges are not cheap to make, but still ... I wonder if that Last Hope is a properly working boot. Didn't the dump that was floating around lack sound?

Would gladly pay for digital versions - with embedded serial numbers or some shit, so they could trace leaks.

what morden said about dreamcast relz.
couldn't touch ng with a mirv.
that said, continued development for neo-geo is always a win in my books.
even if devs can be a bit up own arses at times.
liking gunlord and fast striker, among the above mentioned pink bullets.
no, my dick isn't big enough to own actual SNK gear.
the next best thing here is visit friends cops room or buy exported releases for other consoles.
emulators are the last resort, and a valid one too. :)
