Just saw this site linked over at RHDN..
http://www.gamereproductions.comThe guy has loaded patches onto cartridges and is selling them for a profit. I noticed a couple of our games up there (Mystic Ark and Lennus 2). What's funny is that in the youtube video for Lennus2 he has linked, the splash screen shows stating "patch not for sale" heh
Good ever-loving grief!! I could spew a few million words about now but am at a loss with so many implications.
He's got
DoaE-II,
Just Breed, and
EB-0 on the NES side.
Just Breed required a donor cart -
Gemfire! No
Feda or
Slayers - yet...
Our hobby has always operated on an honor system. I would have no problem with the companies using our patches to produce retro-carts, but this? Even if the guy had a license from the companies, someone would need to coordinate with us regarding the intellectual property rights of the English scripts. I mean, shoot, a translator could play legal Japanese carts and write down interpretations of every single screen in a game. I don't know what to say. I hope something such as this doesn't ruin our not-for-profit hobby.
