Upgrading to the new 2022 2.1 SMF core (years in WIP)! Mobile/Phone support by default, finally! I must port all my custom features and redo the theme however, but worth the trouble! I may still look at XenForo too.

Could make adorable chibi ver. covers for the repro games.

Quote from: BlueBMW on November 01, 2015, 04:14:06 PMI dont know that it will have much effect on the price of repros.  I gave out 400 discs of Sapphire a few years back and still the price of that one is high for a repro.  The originals seemed largely unaffected in price.
I've been wanting a copy of Sapphire (repro or otherwise) for a while so I've been trying to keep track of it and hopefully find a reasonable deal.  Even after giving out all of the repros the price of the original has actually gone up rather steadily.  Ironically, even the Sapphire repro seems to be worth some money now and that's ignoring the unscrupulous people who try to pass off the repro as an original on ebay.
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

I wouldn't put it past Tobias to repress the Sapphire bootie once he exhausts his future plans.

...it's called the Super HuCard ISO.

About 75 games work off a CD bootable menu. There are varying degrees of bugs, but they're mostly playable. Only games that are 256KB or less can be converted to be played this way since that matches the CD RAM size. But yes, it's possible and the idea obviously started with the Gate of Thunder 4-in-1 CD where Hudson made Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge and Bomberman playable off a CD.

I cannot wait to get a PM back and play these great games. I have not been able to get a Rondo ISO to work correctly on my DUO since purchasing it..... so i am more than excited for this.

They are playable enough to let you know if it's something you want to buy.  I dont think I ever found one that didnt eventually crash, freeze, glitch out, ect..  But yeah, probably something that could have been proven to work really well if it had continued to be worked on.  Shit, imagine if a finished product got pressed.  :)

Had some help today.  :)

And this isn't counting spindle of aprox 100 I am sending to fellow forum member Josh to help with shipping. 

Like I said before guys, I am seeing your PMs.  :)  I do so many a day, and then call it a night.  We should have plenty to go around.  So, until you see us post otherwise, just hang in there.  BlueBMW, I dont see how the hell you did this all by your lonesome a few years back...   8)

I sent an email through pce memories site about getting a Drac x disc and it came yesterday. I'm assuming you guys are the same people running the requests that get sent from there.

Thanks very much for all your philanthropic efforts this is awesome!

Not quite.  You got it from Tobias himself.  I can only assume it will be us for now though.  It saves him time and money to let someone else handle the loose discs.

I suspect that this period will also see a record number of new users.
Ive noticed that.  How I have been dealing with that is this.  When an old timer PMs me, he/she automatically goes to the front of the line.  I feel that is only fair, even though I am sure we will have enough to go around.

I've lurked here mostly in the repair section for a while now but it's funny there was talk on another forum how this forum is weary about new users just looking for a deal to flip on eBay.

Anybody know if these will rip properly in Turborip?  Of course I wouldn't expect them to show up in the TOC database.

Bernie

Yes they will.  Their TOCs all match up correctly.

I am a honest gamer just looking to play and collect great games. I love how the pcenginefx community can help each other play games that are out of most people's budgets. Please don't exclude me from playing these rare games. Thanks and Cheers!!!

Sweet, although a bit surprising for Dracula X since it's a translation hack.
