QUICK RUNDOWN ON THIS VIDEO:
This was originally only obtainable through a fun puzzle in one of my videos, and it did not have a download link to the game itself. The guy who found and uploaded the game has uploaded a ton of Japanese PC games into a Mega folder which was only posted in the forums of a private torrent site. In the folder there is a separate folder saying "DO NOT UPLOAD". He claims that if anyone uploads what is in there he will take down the folder and stop uploading games. One of the games in there he has already sold on Ebay, so I'm not sure why it's still in there. I thought the reason certain games were in the folder is because if they weren't they would spread and the value would deflate.

It has been almost a year since Labyrinthe was uploaded and he hasn't uploaded much since then. Just his own copy of Chu Teng, Cosmology of Kyoto etc. shit that is already out there. And Labyrinthe is still in the no upload folder. Last update was April, but the last update before that was October. If he gets pissed about me uploading the link I don't care.

also here is a pic of him being a dick https://i.imgur.com/3Gxg8ZS.png and claiming that some PC remake of an NES game is more interesting than Labyrinthe

I get a huge bug up my ass regarding the hoarder type of collectors, the ones that keep things locked away to feel important, since they never rarely sell them so maintaining a "value" is not even a thing most of the time.
I'm stoked that Saint has liberated this title.

>>4819585
The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers is full of Japanese devs that really were never interested in playing games, and I think that is relevant, too. It wasn't just Yamauchi working at Nintendo for 53 years without playing a video game; many devs say something like "games are just something I make". I can't imagine a film director who never liked to watch films, other than maybe Hayao Miyazaki.

It was basically a lost trilogy of games. The first game, Horror Tour, was released in the west as "Zeddas: Servant of Sheol". There was also a JP only Sega Saturn version. The sequel wasn't translated and remained lost media until fucking 2014, and then somehow there was a third game that concluded the series which was basically lost until now.

Looking for some help with this /vr/

I've acquired some... things... from a source, and I was looking to find out what is and is available online currently. I know a few titles in here are if not "lost" then very hard to come by.

Didn't think I could but I got it worked out. Its across 2 accounts, guessing it will have limited download on them so if you have a Mega account, "import" them in to your own and then download it from there to help prevent time lockouts due to bandwidth.

But here you go guys, enjoy~

If you're looking for Archive.org downloads from the collection in question follow https://obscuritory.com
I'm rather bandwidth (cap) strapped at the moment so between the MEGA I posted in >>4820141 and him you should be all set.
But... IMO the dude kinda fucked up big though. I've had run ins with the dude who was hording the shit in the past and I know for a fact that the faucet is going to get turned off due to how Phil at obscuritory handled it. He explicitly left the phrasing in of "do not reupload" in his posts that brought the eye of fucking Motherboard (the Vice website) and now its a /thing/. Due to this the horder fuckers will now hide things even harder. Could have just quietly uploaded on Archive for preservation and let people who care know about it, but now its a story.

Why do so many collectors seem like horrible people? I would be ecstatic to figure out if I own some video game, be it unreleased, prototype, or so on, that no one else had, and would love to share it with the world. The sheer fact that I contributed something to the world at large would be satisfactory in itself.

The problem with prototypes is that they don't have anything fancy on the package, the only thing that sets them apart is the data of the game so if you share the rom then what's the selling point? People could make their own cartridge with the rom after all and the original cartridge loses most of its value. Don't get me wrong I don't endorse any of this since I don't care about collecting because I don't care about money but it makes sense.

I think the problem with the reuploader was his desperation to be honest. This is an illegal liar's field, frankly, and none of these games are one-of-a-kind, no-other-discs-exist. What you could have done, to not get this dumper guy so triggered so we can leech off his private dumps, was to simply act like you were just another dumper that just-so-happened to come across these games. Maybe you release what he won't in sporadic bursts, one secret upload per month or every two weeks. Instead, what you did was get media fags to splooge over it as if a game like this is actually good, making the dumperfag feel like he even, for one minute, deserved the attention.

You could've taken the full credit for dumping this, and no one would really care.

Because what is their real motivation to release things? Pure generosity can run thin when you have to deal with beta kiddies crying about other people having things that they don't, expecting everyone else to sacrifice freely while they contribute nothing. Chances are the person releasing the item in question won't even get much more than a thank you or two (if that), or maybe not even find too many people who give a shit about the release beyond simply insisting that it be freely released. What is the motivation to release something if hardly anyone wants to acknowledge the release or the person releasing it? Yes, there is raw generosity, but being generous to whom? Angry strangers on the internet who constantly bitch and moan about not having this or that and how you're an asshole for not giving it to them right NOW... the very same people who, when you do release something, probably don't even acknowledge it? I am absolutely for things being preserved, and don't understand why some collectors are dickheads who try to maintain a laughable aura of "mystery" around themselves, but these things are a two way street. If people treat hoarders/collectors like shit, they will have even less motivation to share what they have.

If people care about preservation, contribute. If you can't afford to buy something unique and rare to dump, go on TCRF or something and find an incomplete prototype article, download the prototype, and start updating the article. I know there's an Aladdin prototype with a ton of differences, including removed enemies and a level that was entirely redone for the final game, which currently has a laughably tiny article. Or maybe those prototypes of Resident Evil that were posted a few years ago?

>Why do so many collectors seem like horrible people?

Collectors can be narrowed down to either preservationists and hoarders.

Preservationists are collectors who actually care about the things they collect. They think those things have inherent value, so they want to keep these things around, whether it be pieces of history, physical memorabilia, or simply data.

Hoarders are people like Byuu and the guy from the OP. The only way they can sustain an erection is knowing that they have something that no one else has. They don't believe in inherent value like the preservationists because if they actually did, they would let other nerds dig around in the ROM and then archive it. What hoarders believe is that something only has worthwhile value if there's only a small supply of it (ideally: only one copy, and in the hoarder's possession).

Windows XP is better about handling Japanese locals on an English copy of windows then Vista and later is.
You /should/ be able to use XP (with East Asian support installed) in a VM and install the application AppLocal.
Following link is for a nice right click context menu for Windows XP to switch the local to Japanese on the fly when opening applications.

>they really do not give a shit about preservation at all
I always theorized that since damn near every country in east Asia has been raised in the last century that the idea of holding on to the old was kinda lost in the reign's cultures. Be it Japan, China, Korea, almost all southeast Asia, all of them got fucked at one point or another. Could be totally wrong. Probably am.

It has a nifty art style and gameplay similar to Myst. Not every game has to appeal to YOU anon...

I have the feeling it’s not “impossible to buy” in Japan at all. I mean that collector guy talks nonchalantly about having two copies. It’s not like it was an unreleased game or anything. Just seems like another case of weebs wanting what they can’t have, to me.

Do you have any useful tips or links for creating translations of games? I would like to start but I'm not quite sure where.

Currently my Japanese is alright - at the moment it's mostly a case of familiarizing myself with more vocabulary. My friend is N2 at least, I think close to N1 by now so we were thinking of collaborating to try and contribute to some translations of old games like these.

Most "lost" media is not exactly lost in the strictest of sense, but it just is not online and most likely there is no public info of any holders of that media.
If you can't acquire it either digitally or physically, its effectively "lost" even if there are copies out there.
Labyrinthe is extremely rare in Japan even, so to get his hands on 2 copies he either has good connections to some collectors or spends a LOT of time on auction sites (not just Ebay, likely Yahoo Auctions Japan).

What do they mean by that exactly? All of these companies are long gone and most if not all of the creators are lost to time, or perfectly fine with their creations being preserved. What's illegal about any of this? Would they act the same way for historical film or literature?

Straight up, its a cultural thing across the region thats not exclusive to Japan.
The west just has preservation more ingrained on our collective cultures to the point that we end up cataloging and preserving works and history that are not our own even. And I'm not just talking about digital, I'm also talking about historical accounts, books, music, etc going centuries back.
East Asian cultures obviously do care about their history, I'm not saying otherwise, they just don't catalog it to the same extreme degree.

They are hard to come by because there are 2 people on the entire planet at any given time who even care about those games. I mean, PC version of Baku Baku Animal? I played that in 2001 or so when I was reminiscing about all the great Saturn games I don't have any more, and it's a VERY shitty, barebones port of the Saturn game (you get the arcade mode running in a 320x240 window and that's it).

I kinda don't care about preservation of games at this point. A while back some peeps would sporadically ask if there was ever gonna be any attempt to archive Flash games. No one ever gave a shit about starting it until someone said, "oh, Flash is going out the window soon". Now there's that "BlueMaxima's Flashpoint" thing which isn't just "download it all now and deal with errors later," they all gotta sit around and make some fancy, biased pack of shit.

It's easier to find pr0n from 2002 than this, because pr0n seems to ironically have more sites to upload and preserve it. There's even some GameBoy loli game I found after trying to find leads on some kind of Jap "bad hack".
http://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ193852.html

I tracked all versions of it down and sent it to some "NonGood" guy on ROM Shepherd via PM to check it so it could get included (with some other shit). I honestly think that if I hadn't done so, nothing from said site would ever have any kind of proper preservation effort, because everyone's lazy as shit.

I'd ask someone to point out how many game mods have been uploaded to archive.org via a massive pack of them, but there's next to nothing. It's like if you bothered to ask Redump.org, "So, do you guys have a .dat for the official update files for these PC games that were on the official, defunct websites?"

Obviously, no one cares. It's like arguing with a wall at this point.

I've sent at least 2k undatted ROMs to that ROM Shepherd guy, but to be honest, I think the datting can be more of a curse, since no other media has a .dat. It's like, if a .bin/cue is proper CD archival, why do most sites only contain FLAC/MP3 rips of audio CDs? You ironically don't have to "mount" pr0n DVDs.

After the peep who I sent the ROMs started using that accursed DeheadEmAll shit on .nes files, which renders them all useless, I just took it upon myself to be the only Goodset uploader on archive.org (my connection is shit so I didn't attempt GBA or N64). I decided to try mass downloading the Smash Bros. Brawl mods on kc-mm.com using just MiPony, HTTrack (I set it to download individual URLs since some are declared "deleted" with still active links) and a pirated Duplicate Cleaner Pro. I didn't even delete most of the duplicates since it's confusing, but I thought, "well, someone can deal with that later". There's at least 3k+ dead links on that site since it relies on DMCA-happy Cloud Storage.

ClrMamePro would still work fine on the Flash files since they're mostly just solo-files, but I don't even care. If peeps want they could just download all the Street Fighter 4 mods and make a .dat specifically for those since it looks similar. I haven't even played a single Brawl mod. I'm just tired of dead links.

I often look for such long play videos exactly like that to get an idea a game even if I never get around to playing it or watch the entire video it self. Videos like that act as a great service to document media.

To follow up on WHY I say reach out to Jason Scott.
Having a huge archive of Flash games is going to be a bit unwieldy, but they should be able to automate the process and get each Flash game it's own entry so you could search for it directly and play it from your browser without having to download it locally (although the option would be available). That would be a major pain to do by hand, they likely can automate the process on their end.

This is the Flashpoint peep. My upload speed sucks, otherwise I'd just upload the entire pack in small portions. I generally like to keep each upload pack under 5GB each so it has less of a chance of getting locked.

I also hate how all the No-Intro shit gets uploaded in .zip format. The GoodGB/NonGood archive is in .7z and is smaller than the No-Intro GB pack. It's such a bandwidth strain for no good reason.

The only 'legal issue' is that he's a cunt. I've dealt with with a similar cunt once; the cunt was reselling and got upset when others started pirated what he was reselling because all he really gave a shit about was that it was eating into his hardcore fanbase sales. He then went on to spread a bunch of lies about the original publisher of said content actively seeking legal action against anyone distributing and/or translating said content. Which a bunch of sheep bought into til eventually they could no longer buy into his lies because no legal action was ever brought against anyone translating similar content, ever. But the damage was already done; the fanbase for content in question had already dissolved and a wealth of information drifted into obscurity and all because of one greedy cunt.

We're in a world where hundreds of people die daily on behalf of getting some drugs while the only evidence of anything happening to uploaders is extremely limited to around 30 or so edge cases that most can't remember. So much of it only pertains to modern releases through torrents of non-gaming industries and rarely a single /vr/ title.

It's like, instead of all these shitpost games on Steam about school shooters and killing da j00z or the da gayz, I want to see the reaction over a game about killing Copyright lawyers.

I never said I owned those games. Those are two of my most wanted games which I’ve been on the lookout for for several years, though I wouldn’t throw a shitfit if I knew someone was hoarding them. But anyway, I believe they more than qualify as “lost games” by your guys’ definition. So what are you waiting for, anon? The games aren’t even in Japanese. If it’s so easy to just throw out some money until it lands on the game you want, show me how easy it is. Or does someone need to write a blog article about the games first before they can be legitimate?

They’re both point and click adventures. Better Dead is some Mac only game about demons or something. The Japanese localization is already on legends world but the original game is in English. The Case was the localized English version of the game on this page https://www.old-games.ru/game/4945.html it seems to be pretty highly regarded by that reviewer. It was a web shop only release by “NMG”.

You honestly should have just accepted that you should not have uploaded something online that you did not want spread, and moved on.

The amount of damage control you're doing for your own image is unnecessary and seems to display some kind of egomania.

elevens have been mentally conditioned to buy into the latest fads and abandon everything else before it. did you think it was just mere coincidence things in japan like used cars, games, books, etc have little to monetary value? that parts of japan, like shibuya, are constantly being restructured to avoid becoming outdated? hell, japan is even known for discarding old appliances and electronics simply for the sake of owning a newer version of the same item.

Been searching for japanese comments on this out of curiosity but they
are hard to find, this isn't being widely discussed

http://b.hatena.ne.jp/entry/s/gigazine.net/news/20180607-japanese-lost-game-released/

takekuma415: reminds me of "greed island" [a fictional rare game in
Hunter X Hunter]
gogatsu26: in other words, warez distribution... [derogatory]
jgoamakf: seems like crucial details are missing from this story.
Byucky: fucking copier pieces of shit. [not sure if this is referring
to the leak, or simply the fact that the games were being copied in
the first place.]
rinotakabe: this sort of ip is difficult to preserve due to copyright.
YellowUmbrella: [quoting Saint] "If he gets pissed about me uploading
the link I don't care" this dude is DAME [here means: disgraceful,
dishonorable]
aoetom2828: seems like everyone involved is selfish.

This page has an aggregation of a few news articles, one of them was
about the Labyrinthe leak, but no one cared about that, instead the
comments are hating on some guy selling a repro of a Mother poster and
hating on westerners who make repros in general. Japs REALLY HATE IT
when us filthy westerners make repros, it's a recurring point of
discussion there every time it comes up in the news.

I'll look for more comments later but yeah, the japs do not appear to
be impressed about this leak.

Maybe, I really don't know. All I know is that the 60-80% build of RE 1.5 is supposedly in the hands of a Japanese collector. Years ago an English speaking person tried to make the purchase of it and the deal fell through. This is all foggy because I remember reading it years ago on I think thehorrorisalive forum.

The article itself explains that this is a product of Japan's bizarre company based irrationalism.

Home life is very different. Asian countries tend to treat things as very ephemeral, while many people here might live in 100 year old houses, in Japan it's pretty rare for a house to last 30 years. If you happen to own a house, it's likely that you'll completely demolish it 2-4 times within your lifespan.

And because most of the country lives in Tokyo, space is at a huge premium. Nobody keeps their old shit around, and when anything breaks they'd rather throw it out than attempt repairs.

They don't seem to really understand the fear a lot of westerners have about replaying these games in 50 years. All this stuff is still around right now, so they think it'll be around forever. On the plus side, it means you can still get absolute bargains from braindead nips who will sell you a stack of games for a dollar, but westerners have bled a lot of the market dry already because re-selling this shit is incredibly lucrative.

I wouldn't go far enough to say they're anti-preservation, but the vast majority of them have no interest in preserving a drive that could be re-used.

Lots of tards will archive shit that keeps up the status quo like the 'scriptures' & 'philosophers'. Most of tards strive to Preserve the Culture of Disregard. Japs do this cuz most of what we want preserved is a superior form of life away from the politic babies, but most of Japs live that superior, peaceful way of life compared to many inferior societies so, much like modern Western plebs who are ecstatic to "leave the past behind" & "progressive" cuz they're consumerist, nihilistic tards afraid of their own past & history.

It would be nice to wage a culture war against them by inventing new Kanji that triggers them.

Honestly, what else can you expect from brainlets with more money than braincells and a mindless obsession to hoard rare shit?

There is nothing more subhuman than a collector who has no interest in preservation, and I applaud anyone who manages to swipe anything out from under their greedy little fingers.

There's literally no possible defense for "uh, I uploaded those games JUST for the other mental patients I talk to, you aren't ALLOWED to have access". The hubris of people who think they're doing anyone a favor by keeping games as inaccessible as possible is just disgusting.

Damn is this fine bait.

To every fucking scumbag hoarder shit, listen:

You are not clever by blackmailing the community until you get some wad.

This is why. The value of the game is tied only to the PHYSICAL COPY. Can't you fucking realize that original NWC cartridges still soar in price despite the repro carts and the ROMs being freely distributed?

Even if you only have a newly unearthed copy of a game, feel free to stick it up your ass. Either it will come by some other way or the game is monumentally shit that giving a plethora of dollars wouldn't be worth it.

The amount of idiocy and ignorance on that article and all the retards reacting like mad dogs is staggering.
There very much is an extremely healthy amount of people in Japan preserving all kinds of media and dumping everything they find, you would know if you were in other circles unrelated to vidya.
Trying to make a case on all of Japan because of a single autist or the owner of the ONE Space World proto is fucking retarded.

Like retarded manga & anime? I know how much hentai & pr0n takes priority to archivist retards.

See: ArchiveTeam. They took enough time to rip and upload 300GB+ of FurAffinity to archive.org and even made a page for it on their wiki. None of them give a shit about the freeware titles on freem.ne.jp or vector.co.jp.

Note how much in the preservation sphere, from /r/datahoarder to numerous other factions, how much vidya doesn't get mentioned. There's at least 70% discussion dedicated to pr0n & other shit like Tumblr backups. They make a big ole shit about archiving & mentioning retarded GeoCities which had very little use to anybody and still has next to none. There's no active backups of NexusMods, LoversLab or most any mod site.

Culturally, of course that makes Nips inferior if there's no decentralized preservation sphere for vidya, because what the Prime-Time /r/datahoarder & other scrublets DO waste time doing is making jokes about fucking "Linux ISOs" nonstop and archiving the most uber weeb shit.

It's nice though. Don't worry about archiving the freeware sites and the game mods. We got 10 Doxbin results on archive.org along with Encyclopedia Dramatica, their subreddit and Incelocalypse.

Great shit for archivists to -prioritize-. I'm rooting for you.

Look, here's what it comes down to. Most of the prolific collectors with rare, unreleased games are well into middle-age.
