Do they still make proper bootleg carts for newer systems? My brother bought one of these 999 in 1 DS carts in Turkey and it was only an R4 with a custom label.. :\

also it's not nintendo preventing them from releasing software on their platform, it's wisdom tree being too cheap to pay the normal licensing fee and other accociated costs to produce a legitimate product.

>> No.443581

>>443530
It's in the fucking dentition of bootleg, if it didn't have permission to be sold then it was a bootleg. Nintendo restricted the supply of licensed games to dealers who sold unlicensed games.
i.e. they disproved of unlicensed games being sold. Even though wisdom tree didn't sell their games in game stores, nintendo didn't like their carts to be sold anywhere. i.e. disapproval.

The point is, making a piece of hardware does not entitle you to control what software is run on it.

Yes, actually, you can. In fact, if Sony then updates the PSP to break your game, you can probably get a fair deal of money in a settlement from it.

Legally, there is no such thing as a closed platform.

In fact, I suspect that the EU is quite close to affirming this. Issues surrounding cell phone software have forced the issue.

The jackass starting to argue this shit in the thread is reminding me of that raging asshole who was taking fan translations of games, burning them to a disc, fake jewel case art and cd art, and selling them for like 60 - 70 dollars a pop. Quit arguing over this shit, everyone here knows what you are getting at, but you sound like you seriously want to let people know "NO NO YOU CAN SELL THIS AND NO ONE CAN TELL YOU NO"

I've never actually seen a real PS1 bootleg CD that worked. Unless you count things like boot CDs where you swap a game for a burned copy. I think the self-booting PS1 CDs come from Russia, they are stamped CDs, not burned. Stamps use micro indentations in the CD while burned CDs use inks.
