It's a burn from a friend, whom I'm going to be buying the original off of anyways, but he lives in Idaho, so, I can't just walk down the street & get it from him. I'm also getting the Valis Visual Collection, & a Neo Geo CD player with a crap load of games, & more, but, it's the real deal, & he has no clue how to even use an emulator, or pretty much any computer program, aside from the basics, so, it couldn't have been hacked. He would've had to rip it onto his computer, which he doesn't know how to do, & then hack it somehow, so, uh yeah. I know it doesn't totally bust Nod's proof, I said that just to make a wierd statement(bust your myth bust), because I'm a nutbar!
