Howdoin said:Hello Neo-Geo2,
At the first boot you sold I gave you benefit of the doubt (like most people on this board), than you started selling more boot... which is not necessarily the smartest thing to do to improve your reputation and thirdly this...
A nice ST-V board with 8 games for sale and who bids on it... Arcadezsalez (Aka Japhei), a person that you know personnaly as he is credited on your website and we all know where these SVC boots came from...
So what should I conclude? You two went on a little scheme to artificially jack up the price of your auction? ... I have to admit this is teh only thing that can come to my mind and unfortunately for you this is the reason why I will not bid on your auction (whcih I wanted to do at first)
NB: try to get a dictionnary and find the word ETHICS, it might change you life.
Decepticon said:Cool, thanks for clearing that up, I almost bought a Matrimelee bare cart from him but decided against it when I saw a few purchases from Japhei in the past.
just thought people that don't go into the warroom should knowVanillaThunder said:Japhei ships NG2's Auctioned SvC carts directly from his house in FL.
Japhei is using NG2's ebay account and rep to pawn his wares off. I know, because I just bought a SvC boot from him and it was shipped from FL, Carole Delhombe was the sender...
Pretty Fucked up, eh?

NOTE:
To nip the oncoming flames in the bud before ANYONE start in on me. I have bought all 3 currently available formats of the game (Boot, Board and AES) and I'm doing some research and such across the three. If most people don't know.. there were changes from the JAMMA to the AES version of the code (specifically the P1 rom, I believe) Which is wildly unprecedented in the Neo world. Purchasing the boot was part of the project and I was hoping to avoid sending funds or anything Japhei's way. Unfortunately, as I just found out... that was unavoidable.
I'm writing a FAQ on the board format, the Boot and how they made it, the differences in the AES version and the anomalies and changes across all 3. They're in the process of all being dumped right now. Also, the rumored MVS version is supposed to be a "V 1.1" of SVC with changes to the code.. again. I'm guessing collision detection and other stuff. When that comes out, I'll also do some research on it.
BTW, if anyone has a MS5 Jamma Board or knows where I can get one relatively cheap, pm me.
