Just wanted to bump this as a reminder. There are copies out there!
I've got a copy I can check, I'll post back with an update sometime this week.
Just wanted to bump this as a reminder. There are copies out there!
We're looking for a Power Spike II cart with a CRC checksum of 97D4290D, or at least one that doesn't match the standard PS2 checksum of AA3829A7.
I have the P1 rom now. I'm working on securing the M1 & S1 (all that's needed now). I'm working with someone that won't mail the cart or have it desoldered so I sent him my AES system, PC2NEO and MVS converter and he was able to read the P1 for me. Now, I just need to build something for him to read the M1 & S1 and we'll have preserved this game. We'll have it soon enough without the help of that French guy that promised to dump it but never did. So, to the French guy with the cart -- if you're reading this and you want credit, you better get to it. We'll have this soon enough without your help...

And so the Smackdown is layeth down...

I know the guy.
His english is not really good, so even if he stumble upon this post he might not understand its full meaning.
I'll hit him with a translation of jmk's post... But whatever decision he takes i will respect it.
Jeff's just being respectful to the guy, despite the fact that the guy did indeed fail to follow through on what he initially stated he was going to do.

EDIT: Corrected checksums, sorry, I calculated them on a byte-swapped file.
Actually, I was wrong about the cart's provenance - Although close. Jeff helped jog my memory - I bought it on eBay on Nov 4th 2001 (I don't have a JP Power Spikes II cart anymore, so I must have sold the other one) for $35 from the same seller as I bought the PSII cart, this time for $35. Jeff e-mailed me two weeks later asking if I'd trade the cart, so he's literally been hounding me for 15+ years... The original seller was Bill Burger, not sure if he's someone on the Neo scene or simply an amusement purveyor or distributor.
I used to be a regular here, but haven't been here for a while (I got old, had kids, etc.) - had to create a new account
That seller is well known across many arcade forums... just not in a good way. He just buys and sells, nothing more.
