What PC-Engine Stuff did you get today?

[RoyVegas]

you probably shouldn't have ordered Rockman since it is stolen work... worse case, IMHO the honorable thing to do would be to pay royalties to Bonknuts.

Is there a link to the back story to this that I missed somewhere?

Oh, he was just responding to this post, where I posted pics of a recent purchase.  I ended up thanking Bonknuts in a financial manner.

Anime4ever, AKA Fudoh, is a forum lurker that took an early version of Bonknuts freely-available ISO of the first Megaman PCE port, burned it on high-quality CD-Rs, made some packaging, and is selling it for €49. Not only is his gouging price insane, but he's passing it off as a legitimate PCE release. He neglects to inform his customers that they're paying fifty euro for a CD-R, he doesn't tell them that it's a free homebrew hack, he doesn't tell them that it's not the latest version, and he doesn't credit Bonknuts for doing all of the work.

There are three things you should consider before giving any money to anime4ever:

1) He's a gouger. He originally tried to sell SFZ for $160. $100 or whatever he's charging now is still insane considering these things are CD-Rs.

2) He's a liar. He came around here in 2005 saying he bought a box of Sapphires in Tokyo, feigned ignorance regarding their origin, and put up that "small site" (anime4ever.de) just to sell those few copies. Link.  His deception started a years-long debate about all of these new Sapphires floating around. Endless idiots drank the Cool-Aid and argued long and hard that their precious Sapphires that they paid too much money for must surely be from a 2nd printing, not bootlegs. Anime4ever eventually dropped the pretense when he pressed SFZ, expanded his site, and sold a couple spindles of his misprint Sapphires bootlegs to BlueBMW. 

3) He's a thief. That Rockman hack was made by Bonknuts. Link.  Fudoh stole it and it's not even the latest version. Obviously, Megaman isn't Bonknuts' IP either, but artists (and anyone with integrity) will usually operate under Creative Commons principles when it comes to things like this - not for profit, attribution, and they usually ask permission.

Wow, thanks vestcoat.  I had actually considered buying them.  Now knowing the history, I won't be.

Thanks again!

Too bad Jim Power isn't as cool as the cover.

Also, 5$ says he doesn't bang her.

I almost pulled the trigger on that.  I think I stared at that auction page for a good five minutes before I passed.  Sounds like you got a deal!

[syphic]

Yeah the ad said it just showed a blank screen. I remember seeing a similar screen when my huey's had dirty contacts or the huey slot needed cleaning and sure enough that's what it was. Then I opened up the cdrom drive and the gear was stuck. Greases it up and popped in Macross and it fired right on up. There's some yellowing but not too bad. So pumped to get this. Been wanting one for a long time.
