Yeah, well... the Japanese buyers will be a bit confused when the boot the thing and the title reads Megaman instead of Rockman (well, I'm assuming) - contrary to what the labels indicate.

Just found this too: http://sapphire.anime4ever.de/

Look closer.  He's selling Rockman discs.

I honestly didn't think Japan had the retard-equivalent of RoyVegas, and the people who buy things he sells for too much.

This is faaaaar worse.  At least Roy was price gouging on legit stuff he actually owned.

Sorry, where are the Rockman discs? All I see is Fantasy Zone & Sapphire.

Yea.

but are we sure this one for sale is actually the one Tom worked on? lol.  What if by some strange fluke this is unrelated?

There's always that possibility, but the odds are pretty long.

Only one way to find out...  And thats to buy one.  I am assuming by ripping the disc, and uploading it for Tom to look at, he would know if its actually his, right?

 True, true. But what's the one law... given all things, the simplest explanation is usually the most probable explanation? Or something like that. Given the other two titles on the site aren't developed by the seller either (he states that he's reprinting those). I sent an email to the address listed on the site.

 Bernie: Correct.

Yep, that did the trick, thanks.

Shame that this wasn't done legitimately as it looks like very nice work.

Yeah it sucks that you'd have to drop like 80$ to find out if the douchecunt is profiting off of a hack.

Hacks are supposed to be free.  Maybe they're just charging for the packaging, and the game is free!

Legitimately? You mean asking me or asking Capcom? Even if they asked me for permission to use my work (the backend emulation code and such) in a project for profit, I don't own or have the rights to the assets and code of the original game.

I meant it would be nice if someone took the time to design a nice cover for your work and make it freely available. People could print it out at home and throw it into a blank CD case.

The problem is that this fellow's presentation really makes everything look so professional...I can see the average PCE fan (outside of these forums) not questioning the ethics behind these items.

Sad.

However, maybe someone here can contact Mr. anime4ever.de and ask him for screenshots (or video) of Rockman/Megaman title screen + stage 1...just to see what is actually being sold here.

I know I'm curious.
