There are very few true preservationists on this board. This is a pirate board.

>> No.5579803

For everyone that claims it's dead, even the preservationists waste too much on dumping discs and cabinets while the ones who have no money could spend time on archiving the freeware, ROM hacks, Flash games, homebrew or whatever. You got a copy of Command & Conquer: Attack Copter from pogo.com laying around? Do you have the original versions of SFXVI for X68000 laying around that was on the original website? No? Exactly.
>tfw No-Intro handles digital DLC for disc-based systems & Redump handles disc-based PC games, but neither of the faggots have preserved official update patches for PC games from the original sites
Do something, lazy cow.

Don't pretend you care. You'll be dead and nothing will matter. All you want is to play even more free stuff that you don't have a right to.

Well I’m sorry I didn’t live in Japan and purchase some limited edition PCB for the three seconds it was available for preorder and then dumped it for you to play. Is that what you want me to say, okay fine... Sorry.

Japs are non confrontational cowards. Go to Cave's office or underpass or wherever they are now, look them in the eyes and in an authoritative tone say "where are the cabinets".

>Naka What? You're kidding! Tell me more. I'd really like to get that back. *laugh* I guess we know what happened to that now... You see, back in mid-1992 we had taken a demonstration cartridge to a toy show in New York. It wound up being stolen, and although we searched and searched all over, it was never found. So that's probably where the data comes from. What's the Hidden Palace in this one like?

going to be much more difficult the newer the games are and if they were tied to one of the drm-stores.

All those games are probably shit.

I can't believe people give a shit about some undumped beta of a piece of shit game but don't care about preserving things like god tier amateur porn in high quality. Shit is disappearing fast or only avaliable as reencodes with giant watermarks.

Well it'd be great if kids were smart and downloading complete rom sets but that's probably not the case. More likely to be a rom PRESERVING boomer, who plays and enjoys old video games regularly.

Well, I bought my first flash cart when I was 17, downloaded a complete rom set.
So I'm not 100% sure what you're on about.
