I will try to find where I put that. What I did was a initial Duo start screen mixed in little photoshopping of fake load screens and a title screen with animated "Push run to Start", mixed in with the Genesis game as far as actual gameplay goes. I fed the video playback from my xp computer onto my crt tv via svideo, set up by my Duo. Recording it on my Samsung mini tablet while trying to show myself putting in a blank cd-r and turn the power button on the Duo while recording my hands, system, etc, and making it look convincing enough and timing it right was all a pain.

This was back in early April or so I think. It would have been funny if he took the bait, asked for video proof and would have thought it was real, but as is the fact that he didn't made me laugh too, because I mean, Pit Fighter and all....

You should have told in that David Hasslehoff was a unlockable character in the TG port. That would have been your ticket!

That's awesome. I will make a video with that footage, if you allow me :)

You go Mike. I can see where this was headed. Good Lord.

I also would like to see the said fake pit Fighter footage, actually. Would be quite interesting.
END OF LINE.

I will look and see if I still have it, but dont hold your breath waiting for it. It was one of those things that got stuffed in a folder and forgotten about after I pulled the final video off my Samsung Galaxy Player and realized he wasnt interested, so I don't know if I saved it ot not.

I have to archive about 30-60 gbs a month of stuff I come across, content Ive worked on, or wish to save like archived drivers for pc parts, so I will have to check through some disc and my secondary drives and see what I can find. I cant save everything on here because shit just piles up over time and I cant keep track of it all, and I have to clean house hard drive wise once a month.

I absolutely love how he puts things like "(c) 1986 1993 KONAMI" on the discs ... at exactly the same time that he's violating that same copyright.

Nice package though ... he really does have some sense of style.

Having a bunch of those confiscated will probably cost him a pretty penny if Konami get off there asses and stomps all over him.  :wink:

I should mention, Tobias seemed very secretive about the whole Dracula X thing. He refused to even name it in the emails and did not want me to tell anyone about it until it was announced on his website. I dont know how many of this set he made, nor if he sent any out yet to anyone else. I think the German postal worker strike f*cked up his release plans some. It is possible other people have a copy of it also, but if not then I may be the only one, depending on if Tobias continues forward with plans to sell it after seeing what has transpired here today.

If anyone is curious about the contents, the disc are both pressed. One is the Japanese release, the other is the English translated copy with the New german audio intro. The extras inside are collectors buttons, a leather cross of some type, flyer, cards, a fake wooden stake, etc. Like I said prior, guy does awesome work, and in this case he seems to have done the game more justice then Konami would have.

 Its just that he is a f*cking a$$hole. After pulling the Sapphire shit, he takes most of the negatives about the repro market, combines them with all the shit people loved and hated about Victor Ireland and Xseed and similar, and presents it in one way overpriced package.

The thing is, Konami probably will not do anything. Their current state of affairs is pretty sad. I dont think they really care for or respect their classic IP anymore, and the only side of Konami that can even legally go after Tobias is the division in Europe, and I imagine they would have even less interest in doing so.

But the fact is, they will have a heads up. I dont think they will go after him unless he actually post this Dracula X set for sale, and as of now he has not done so. Him sending me a copy for free is still him just giving something away. They are only going to pursue something if money is involved on their side of the world.

That is the worst part, I think.

The products look nice, but are marketed to profit off of collectard cunts that just blindly throw money at shelf pieces that they then stand in front of while using their collectors edition pocket pussies they all bought.

Great googly moogly, that's some over the top packaging.  And it's of another stolen translation, so his whole "I didn't know!" routine was obviously complete horse shit, not that anyone was buying it anyway.

As for whether or not Konami will do anything, I can see them doing a cease and desist.  It wouldn't take much time or billable hours, as you're not actually going to court or have to prove anything yet.
