lol, a poor try of selling bootlegs.
mais sans notice.
sure, for 16 bucks a translation of the manual would have blast the budget instantly.
I hope, at least he didn't use regular CD-Rs. the DUOs will thank.
-
$28 shipped for a CDR is fail to the nth degree.
-
Personaly I do not mind buying bootlegs , half of my Playstation library are bootlegs in fact . Of course if it claims to be the original or is in a format that would not work regularly , then I'd get pissed .
-
Through the magic of ebay messages, I've confirmed that it's a CDR. Big surprise, eh?

well how else would he have bootlegs?
i doubt he went out and pressed just two, lol.

I'm unable to read French; does it specifically say that it's a bootleg version? If not, it's not out of the realm of possibilities that someone would create their own replacement case art for a loose disc. LOLZ. WTF. KFC. OMG.

Bootleg or not... that game sure looks pretty with the TG16 logo on there. Too bad that doesn't really exist.
-
it doesn't say explicitly, but I think the fact that hes got two of them for 16 EUR a pop gives it away without having to confirm it :D

Maybe that's why I ended my post with a sarcastic "big surprise". I'm okay with 'wasting my time' confirming that they're CDRs. ROFL. BFD. LMAO. PDQ.

yeah I got mixed feelings on it. I think its kinda cool see a bootleg. but its just lame at the same time. A bootleg of sapphire is cool if it sold for 20 bucks. cause it cost some cash, but a dracula X?!! I think bootlegs compared to the real thing is lame. Nothing compares to the real thing. If you have a collection of bootlegs lol thats what you got. a collection of bootleg games. I think Ill prolly just save my cash and get a real sapphire. I think it would be more exciting and I think I would appreciate it more.
-
Bootleg = nothing more than someone makes money with roms/isos. Sure as for those full transaltions of japanese only games, it would be again a different case.
-
Reported. Twice for BOTH violations. Thank You.
-
I wonder if it's possible that it's the PSP version converted to work on the Turbo :-k
-
ah, that was english, not?

I don't mind playing/having bootlegs, but paying for them just messes up the whole system. Not only that, but since you can download virtually ANYTHING now for free (anything 32-bit or earlier anyway), and that's where these scumbags get the ISO in the first place, paying for stuff like this just makes you a dumb f*ck.
I did buy the Sapphire bootleg. I wanted that because it was on a real CD and would (hopefuly) last longer than a CD-R.
-
id buy that sapphire bootleg. Its legit as shit as far as I care :D

It's lesser about the media which will last longer or not, more about that your system definitely will last longer.

I'm always up in the air about these things, I dislike bootlegs of games that exist (Sapphire) but reproductions of games that don't are another thing.. If someone made a high quality "US version" of Rondo that matched up with typical Duo games I'd be down for one. :P

you dont need a us version of rondo. it works on tg16cd

Sure it works and doesn't really require any grasp of Japanese, but everything is still in Japanese. These sorts somewhat pointless repros are made for a lot of systems and can be pretty cool examples of what could have been, TG seems a bit left out for these things at the moment.

ahh ok i got ya. true that. these guys arent doing that. they are doing shit. just burning discs of games you can download for free.

On the topic of Sapphire vs. the professional Bootleg --- I am personally torn but I would never pay $50 to $100 for a damn copy even it's real pressed by a CD replicator shop. I own a legit minty Sapphire (bought it at a store in Japan for $350 usd), and love it, but I get my ass kicked in that game so I don't really play it as much... the game is unbelievable for sure in terms of effects.. but due to the lack of playing time compared to my other titles, I'm torn about selling it off or keeping it for my forever_collection..... dammit, decisions decisions decisions.
