this is a post from gamefaqs:


I'm sure you've played ROMs before. It's about all this board ever wants to discuss it seems. But do you ever wonder how the ROMs come into being? They're exact duplicates of the data on cartridges of course. Generally, the day a game is released, or the day after, someone who has the right hardware buys or borrows the new game, copies it, and distributes it on the internet. EBGames has an interesting policy that lets you return a game within 7 days if you don't like it, so sometimes they can do this free of charge.

But... sometimes, the ROM appears on the internet before (sometimes -well- before) release date. This usually happens with high-demand games. They are shipped to stores early, and the stores aren't allowed to sell them before release date, or they get a strict fine. So the release group's representative, typically male, aged 14-17, has contacts who work at these stores who get the game early. All they have to do is go to the store at the appointed time with the hardware, go to the back room, meet the employee, and make a copy, without anyone knowing any better.

But in exchange for this privilege of dumping the game before street date, they are required to perform a favor to the employee who is risking his job to make this transaction. That favor is, generally, a blowjob. So the next time you play a ROM... take a moment to think about the teenaged boy who got down on his knees in the backroom of a Gamestop to bring this release to the masses on the internet.


you seem to know much about this topic. I'm going to guess that you are involved in the dumping process. where you giving the blow job, or reaping its benefits?
lets hope for my imaginations sake neither

For those who are not aware, the game will be shipped on the 16, but it cannot be sold until the 22nd, it's most likely that it'll appear around the 16th because you know copies are going to get leeked.

Yeah, Turtwig. Unless my brother changes his mind, then I'll throw a coin to decide between Piplup or Chimchar.

will you use a trainer to make your pokemon insanely strong?

No cheating from me.

Depends. If the support for Battle Revolution is already integrated in the game, certainly. If it will be a downloadable executable that reads the save-data off the card, certainly not.

will nintendo ever make the game speed ANY FASTER?

Doubt it.

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    For your R4

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
