Is that gray Crystal the bootleg translation that says BAG FUCK?

>>520206

I ordered a copy of Sweet Home translated to English today. Comes with a box and manual too. Can't wait to get it.

Are bootlegs valuable? I have about 3 hundred bootled yugioh cards I got from my brother's friend. Are they worth anything? I always assumed they were worthless.

>>520340
The black one is the one that says Bag Fuck, actually. After doing the lets play I just had to find an actual cart of it. And after searching, I did just that.

The grey on freezes on boot. I'm trying to get into it.

>>520374

Timewalkgames.com The place does great work. You can order just the cart, but their CIB stuff is incredible. A little pricey, but I don't mind paying for ones that I really want.

>No nigger version

please go

>>520475

what the fuck am I looking at lol

>>520503
OP here, I need that version. Where did you obtain that? Or is it what I fear, that being a shitty sticker slapped over a black cart?

R/Y/G/S on the top row look real, though.

>>520517
Yes those are real. Took this picture without the intention of this thread.

>>520512
THat's not me dude. it's from an older bootleg topic back in /v/, sorry

>>520406
I have a copy of Pokemon Quartz somewhere, not in box though.

I don't think I ever actually played it, I just bought it at a garage sale because I thought it was neat.

what were they doing

>>520512
Looks fake to me. The label is completely square rather than having rounded corners, and is a bit slanted. Though you can't expect perfect quality control with bootlegs Seems like you can see the glue used to place the label on coming out from underneath a bit too, so it's probably not a sticker.

Also it looks kind of like someone just spray painted a cart black. it's really shiny, and looks smeared a bit in the recess that says nintendoGAMEBOY.

when you put one of these pokemons on... what actually happens? what game plays out? has it something to do with the label or is it random?

>>523476
Bah, please, it is the same fucking game.

>>523476
They're usually hacked versions
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hack_games

For the first three gens of Pokemon I got bootlegs. They were close enough to the original games, but they broke easily. The first original game I got was probably Emerald.

>>523238
I've been wanting to do one of these.
I would post two versions: one with (insightful [I'll try]) comments and one with just the sound of the game.

>>520206
is that because you can't have more than one save on any cart? what am I missing?

I have the ShinyGold cartridge. It is an early betas - you can't go to the Lighthouse nor to the Ice Cave. But still, I loved is as a kid because it allowed me to trade the Johto starters to FireRed.

>>524073

Is that an accurate copy of some of Gen 2 in Gen 3? Or are there differences?

>>524192
Yes, it is a hack of FireRed designed to be a remake of Gen II. It also has some minor tweaks, like Hoenn Pokemon scattered in some places, but they appear rarely.

This picture makes me wish someone made that Pokemon Black romhack, stuck it on a random cartridge, and released it into the wild. That would really freak some kids out.

My friend has one of those gameboy cartridges that has like 80 games in one.

Shit's awesome.

One of the oddest bootleg i have is a GBA cart right? But when you boot it up, it is a GBC game. It has the Little Mermaid, Dr Mario, Pikachu Super Mario Land, Robocop, and Mickie Mouse.

I'm confused as fuck
>>520386
That is actually very good, its a portable dreamcast and I have one.

>>524073

Holy shit, I knew a guy with the King James bible game by them. I felt sorry for him, he was the pastor's kid and was brought up pretty strictly.

About twenty years back, I was friends with some weird country bumpkin who was normal during kindergarten, but then in the first grade, his family went full crazy-ass strict Christian. I never visited him very much before that because he lived a hour away, but after the change, it was so depressing because he had nothing fun or cool in his room. He always seemed real down, and everything I wanted to do was met with some variation of "No, I can't do that anymore because I'm Christian." It was just so solemn at that house trailer 24/7.

I have that flash cart, but it's a bigger edition that uses standard SD cards. Never had filenames scramble like that...

I didn't know about the reboot thing, though. I always used the L+R menu and always lost save files. I thought I didn't patch the roms properly, but I guess I should give it another try.

Wish they'd give you some manual for that thing. I only got some sheets with bad explanations on how to use the software.

Pic related.

>>520475

>>530343
Somewhere between $50 and $150. I always get outsniped at the $50 mark though, and that would really stretch my budget. I need a copy for $20 or less...

>>530362

>>530401
have a scout around toaboa and order a dickload of pirate at the same time to make postage worth it

>>530401
I can do $20. Email me and let's hammer out some details. The cart in question is the pink one you just admitted to being Jelly of.

>>525492
No, I bought it from someone

>>530169
The shipping depends on how heavy the stuff is. Lots of clothes will be high shipping, lightweight pirate carts will be low shipping. No real return policy, but usually the stuff you get from it will be in working order/look like the picture. I've heard very few complaints from /cgl/
about any receiving items being shit, but size miscalculations and other minor nitpicks. Again, these should not apply to you buying bootlegs. The only issue I've found is that Google Translate is retarded, and you will have to think outside the box finding games you want. Famicom QBoy and any Sachen game are still elusive for me, although I've found quite a few multicarts with Somari, Kart Fighter, and AV Bishoujo Girls, no single carts though.

>>520483
I was turned off by their use of spraypainted carts salvaged from sports titles. Neat idea, but not the sort of thing I envision paying $80 for.

>>526198
>>526149
I still have that thing, but regular SD version.

It works just fine and large capacity was always nice. Besides, there didn't exists flashcarts that didn't require some software to add games to.

>>526149

That's because it was designed primarily for use as a Slot-2 DS piracy solution, it was one of the first available on the market back when you had to have a Slot 1 dedicated card to bypass the security or mod the DS firmware. It worked fucking perfectly and the company making them managed to support the little thing well past it's lifespan, they released game specific patches all the way up to Soul SIlver and Heart Gold. The GBA support was just an added bonus, there is no card based solution that has ever worked for GBA games without slowdown, the norm was shit like the F2A, worked perfectly but obviously had the same kind of memory restrictions as an actual GBA cart, you could only fit 4 normal sized games on even the larger models.

tl;dr, it's a fine bit of kit, you weren't using it for the intended purpose and the thing predates Vista you can't bitch.

>>525556
It's Michael from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

>>537750
>>537750
>10 million

>>537784
I don't think it was primarily for DS game booting, if it was then why sell the Slot1 device separately?
I remember booting some HeatGold from supercard alone after my R4 clone broke. Thankfully I had modded my DS firmware before it did, so I didn't need another Slot1 device to boot DS games.

>>537797
Should've counted those zeros, but that's what it says on >>526367

>>537801

Because firmware modding the fat DS was a ten second job, believe me I paid top dollar for that thing when it came out, it was always intended to run DS games. Nobody in their right mind would use something as slow as SD card storage to run GBA games, nor bring out a device intended to do such at a time when you could get a F2A which would do the job much better for a fraction of the price.

>>537814
>Nobody in their right mind would use something as slow as SD card storage to run GBA games
You do realize the GBA games didn't run from SD flash, right? Supercard loads the rom into it's own memory and plays it from there. It had writable memory somewhat slower than what GBA ROMs had. It's not even possible to run GBA games from memory as slow as SD flash.

HEn I was young I went on summer holidays to spain and turkey, I usualy bought gameboy games there. didnt have the knowledge of bootlegs, But I remmember the games not being any different.

It was not until I was ulder that I noticed that they where bootlegs.

I HStill have
Pokemon yellow,
Links awakening
and rockman world 3 bootlegs.

>>525484
Sometimes i think to myself, do they even fucking try?

>>530852
BACK UP

There's a Somari 2?!

>>541564
Nah it's just something Multicarts do. they'll append a random number to a game and boot it in a different level in order to call it a different game.

>>540928
I think most companies that make knockoffs have realized by now that most people are smart to buy their shit, so they do stuff like this so people like us will buy it out of morbid curiosity.

>>525484
I remember buying a PSX Pokémon bootleg as a teen, thinking I'd get to play Pokémon Stadium without needing a N64...

Instead I got this awful whack-a-mole game with equally awful controls. And I think the sprites were from some Pikachu .gif sets that were popular on the Internet back then.
