The e-penis effect. The more of an asshole you are, the bigger your e-penis is.

Andrew Borman of PtoPOnline is a great man. How is he supposed to achieve his dream of being a "video game historian" if he gives you goys rips of all his unreleased games?

Please give him 300 dollars and come to New York if you want to play some unreleased games from his archive goy.

hes like an evil frank or something

I recently found a whole bunch of Tiger handheld manuals. Am I an asshole for not scanning them?

>>4958873
How many of those run the same exact code, just with different shapes on the LCD?

>>4958829
It really bugs me that he runs a patreon and doesn't even release anything. He claims legal repercussions, but wouldn't charging for footage of the things he won't release equally grey area?

>>4958882
No? That's like saying you can't record yourself playing baseball because the company that made the bat might sue you.

Name one hoarded game you'd actually play more for more than one session.

>>4958813
This is like the third thread you've made about this in the span of two weeks. Chill out.

>>4958968
I made the other two. I didn't make this one. Though I'm glad others are calling out these hoarder scumbags.

It's his property commie nigger. He can do whatever he wants with it. If you want free stuff in usa you can get free bullet.

>>4958813
it's their copy and they can ultimately do what they want with it. they are not obligated to give you a torrent.

this mofo needs to release this shit right fukin now wtf.

>>4958813
you'll never even bother playing it. god what do you even care, there's thirty eight trillion other pieces of media to consume, you literally only want this because you can't have it

>>4959132
Do NOT use racial slurs here. This is not /v/ if you think that kind of crap is okay then you NEED TO GO BACK!

>>4959136

You think you're cool huh? Reaaaaaaaalllllll fuckin cool. Well I got bad news for you kid, and yeah you're a fucking child don't deny it. Anyway loser, you're not. You're nothing but a burden on humanity with your complete ignorance of both communism and African Americans. Now, you can either apologize OR I can send an email to the administrators of this site requesting an autoban next time you try to use such speech here again. Do not tick me off.

>>4959165
I know you're likely shitposting/baiting but you can't sit here and tell me that you use 4chan of all sites and are offended by slurs and shit.

Christ alive, if you're going to tell me to go to a board where "nigger" is commonly said at least direct me to /pol/ you inept fuck.

>>4959184

>>4958882
Well... it's hard to make money on Patreon after you release everything right?

>>4959132
Hording public works for himself instead of building monuments to his kinsmen is what a certain rootless international ethnorelgious elite collective would do...

>>4958813
Is the link to games folder mentioned in OP's pic public, or are people still hunting it down?

>>4958813
commie scumm

I only care about good games

>>4958894
>I can't find any interest in something I don't know
>if it was not released it means it wasn't that good anyway, I know that because reasons

Nah, fuck off.

>>4959165
Damn, I have googled this post and can't find it. Are you telling me this post isn't pasta? That there'd be someone so mentally ill in here?

Please swallow a razor blade.
Faggots like you killed /co/.

>>4959154
Or he’s like me and anon rather the data be available to all than exploited.

>>4958813
Americans will justify this

>>4959156
Shut the fuck up you dumb nigger.

>>4959176
You could have at least had the courtesy to direct me to /pol/, fucking faggot.

>>4959176
Ah c'mon, not going to direct me to /pol/ at least?

Where the fuck is NES Simcity?

>>4958873
Nah a manual doesn't really have much value to most people anyways, but I would scan them if I were you just so other people could enjoy em if they wanted to

>>4959779
Trolled epic style, my dude. Libtards BTFO yet again.

>>4958813
Companies prevent developers from releasing the roms themselves (Ocean to the Mr. Nutz 2) because that thirty year lost game would be lost revenue and piracy otherwise, and they're still holding out for when they release it officially for $60 but they still don't because they don't want to invest in dumping, restoring and paying cert for it.

Someone who got his real name everywhere who yelled "it got this only copy in existence of this and got it dumped" would NOT go and say "yes, here's a direct link" and paint a target on himself for the angry collector who gave it to him who's concerned about immediate resale value, or the company who owns the rights? Would even wait it out until it's "sold" to someone else and then the dump magically appears online while keeping plausible deniability? Unconceivable.

>>4959132
It's not about wanting it for free dumbass it's about wanting it for the general public. Hardware is only good for so long if this fucker doesn't upload it or at the very least back it up on his computer there's a good chance no one will ever be able to play it

>>4959803
I'm not much of a /pol/ack anymore but if you're going to sit here and kick and scream because somebody said a word that offends you, you may as well either hide the post or not use this site.

>>4959803

You're clearly butthurt.

>>4959804
What prevented him from quietly uploading it all somewhere and then anonymously post about it, without putting a target on his back?

Desire for fame, admiration and social acceptance he can never achive without elevating himself above his peers, however little that may be.

A pitiful being.

>>4958873
Not an asshole per se, but you should scan them. They give a lot of nostalgia to a lot of people. It's not like scalpers could profit from them or anything, just people who wanted to play the game or re-experience reading them from when they were a kid.

>>4959638

This exactly, and maybe EB64 if it was ever found. NES Simcity would be comfy as hell.

>>4959880
Eh, I dunno, EB64 is ugly as hell and probably would put me off from a second playthrough. but I guess I just prefer the simple, cutesy sprites of the final version of Mother 3

>>4959832
this

>>4959805

It's kind of like there being an unknown painting by Van Gogh being unearthed and then throwing it in the wood stove or laying it on the floor in a wet basement without even taking scans/pictures of it.

I personally don't lose any sleep over undumped things, but it would be nice for them to actually be archived in a way with redundant backups, reguardless of if they were available to the general public. Sure it would be nice to play them or even watch video of them being played, but to me the real tragedy is not dumping them and them being lost to time. Even a lot of unrealeased stuff had a lot of man hours and creativity put into them.

>>4959832
>What prevented him from quietly uploading it all somewhere and then anonymously post about it, without putting a target on his back?
Muh Ego did. He's trying to make a name for himself and get money or other forms of power and ego stroking. It's basically publicity and it works to an extent. I mean, here we are on an anonymous laotion khao nio image board talking about him.

>>4958882
What does he deliver in return for peoples' donations, then? Surely these guys are paying for something.

Patreon is a disease though. Talentless hacks can get free shekels just from being popular. Like, the guy who made VG Cats is now drawing cat porn on Patreon for like thirty bucks per month. I'll never understand why people actually pay for this kind of thing since the guy's talentless and also a dick. I'm sure the story is no different here.

>>4958887
Nope, legal precedent is that creators of videogames own copyright to gameplay footage. That's why gaming companies can DMCA people doing let's plays and such. What he's doing is straight up illegal.

>>4960245
Legal precedent doesn't show that at all and it's a civil issue anyways so there's nothing "illegal" about it regardless.

Is this MEGA folder of lost games available, or it's been deleted/never actually posted?

Why would you want to play an inferior outsourced port?

>>4960372

I like GBC games

Because they believe their rare prototypes of games nobody cares about has intrinsic value. Stop giving them attention and the problem will generally take care of itself.

Who cares if he never ever uploads his shitty games again? Just leak them to public sites just to spite him. Be sure to make the description a fuck you to him as well.

>>4959832
So you're the only one who has a copy of an undumped unreleased game and your plan is to somehow "anonymously" leak it on the internet. Imagine being such a brainlet.

>>4960245
> legal precedent

Lmao. Show me a single case where the game company actually won a lawsuit over gameplay footage. And don't cite me some "company issued a borderline fraudulent DMCA claim against a video and google automatically took it down in response" "case".

>>4960391
>>4960372
The GBC is such an oddity. It came out in a time of rapid development in video game technology yet was still based on an old standard. So many great things were on the horizon and here they were fucking around with something in between the original gameboy and and NES.

>>4960578
Nintendo has always been about pushing stagnant technology.

>>4960578

game boy color graphics are comfy as fuck though

Hey, as long as it has good games the technology doesn't matter.
