Any discounts for volume? I may be interested in getting approx 20 made. Also, what is the return policy? What if I receive a disk(s) that will not play or have some other issue affecting play?

Absolutely a discount would be in order, and as for returns that is fine too, you would have an option to either have another copy sent out (after I get the first one back) or a refund for that disk/s

Also just to clarify, None of the images I use are from the net because most of them are bad. All the games I own I have ripped and have good images of them, I own a near complete cd collection for the system. If you have a game I don't have you may be out of luck unless you can rip it and send me the image (will be destroyed after copy is complete) And yes I do have a legit copy of Dracula X, I have been importing games for my TG16 for a long time as the jap versions that are not heavy text driven are imo better in most cases. Not to mention a lot of the Jap games never made it here for the cd system.

Wow, $5 CD-Rs.  Good scam!

Is this for real or did you just copy/paste a post from Usenet circa 1999?

Is this an April Fools joke?  Copyright law only allows personal copies to be made, not for profiting from the sale of copies.  Who are you trying to kid with this 'archive' bull?

P.S. - Spell out Japan in full or use JP.

Before you go yelling about copyright laws you should read up on them first,

§ 117 . Limitations on exclusive rights: Computer programs54

(a) Making of Additional Copy or Adaptation by Owner of Copy.—Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of that computer program provided:

(1) that such a new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in the utilization of the computer program in conjunction with a machine and that it is used in no other manner, or

(2) that such new copy or adaptation is for archival purposes only and that all archival copies are destroyed in the event that continued possession of the computer program should cease to be rightful.

you have dracula x?  a legit copy?  really?
most JP CDs never made it here? wow...really?  i wish there was a site or forum out there where experts in TG/PCE could hang out and share experiences.
so the ones that arent text heavy are better?  we never thought of that.  somebody should sticky a thread about which games are playable with little JP speaking/reading ability.

if this is an april fools joke, i admit...you got me.

Personal archiving is just that: personal.  Copying your game for someone else to use is not allowed even if they own another original; they would have to mail you their original and you send back both the original and the copy for it to be legal.

Is it legal to sell backup copies of computer software (in online auctions or on website)? Is it legal to buy and use a backup copy of software I already own?

No. The Copyright Act does not permit anyone to sell backup copies to third parties separately from the original copy of the software. If you lawfully own a computer program, you may sell or transfer that lawful copy together with a lawfully made backup copy of the software, but you may not sell the backup copy alone.

We have been made aware of websites that are offering to sell “backup” copies of software via download over the Internet or in a custom-burned CD-R format, under the guise that section 117 permits this. Section 117 does NOT permit the sale of backup copies. Again, section 117 does not allow you to sell backup copies to someone else except when such backup copies are sold together with the original lawfully owned copy. It does not allow anyone to solely distribute “backup” copies to the public. In addition to being a violation of the exclusive right of distribution, such activity is also likely to be a violation of the terms of the license to the software. In many cases these sites appear to be a front for distribution of illegal copies, which is copyright infringement. You should be wary of sites that offer to sell you a backup copy.

And if you do buy an illegal backup copy, you will be engaging in copyright infringement if you load that illegal copy onto your computer, i.e., the unauthorized reproduction of the infringing computer program into memory. Lesson: if you want a backup copy of a lawfully owned computer program, back it up yourself.

Try again, clownshoes.

Basically the same thing that Ninja should be told by us members here.  Offering to sell CDrs of games is a no-no and it's highly recommended that you modify your first post and lock this thread.

You seem a decent fellow, but please do these 'favors' for people you know or friends (via PM) and refrain from making public posts like this.
