As of right now, I have the game ripping upstairs on my PC (I have a laptop down here, and the drive that rips Wii games can only be installed in a PC. I should be sleeping, but for some reason I can't right now. The game takes 2.5 hours to rip, which I started at around 4:00 AM, it is now 5:17 so it should be done at around 6:30 and no I'm not waiting for it to rip, then burn (which only takes another 10 or so minutes).

 Wait...so you'll be able to obtain a copy of the disk? I'm dumbfounded that you're not thinking of dumping and uploading it yourself. (yeah, I don't believe all this leak or obtainable copies crap...)

Why are you dumbfounded? I have never uploaded a Wii game to a torrent site for the simple fact that it would take a lot of my internet speed to give to someone else. I've never downloaded a Wii game from a torrent site either (that's why I have my own drive to rip them) for the same reason. Also, the reason I was surprised no one dumped it and uploaded it, fuckass, was because pirates are often all about putting out the newest shit right away.

So

1. No I won't dump it, and that doesn't prove I don't have it
2. It's completely logical to wonder why people who DO have it HAVEN'T dumped it.

How about this? I'll take a picture of the screen, my middle finger, and a sign that says "especially for you, Seraph"?
Haha. I'm not that pissed about your disbelief. I'm sort of playing devil's advocate with my reasoning, but I actually felt the exact same way until today when I was told I could borrow a copy overnight and got to see it.
But honestly, I'll take that screenshot with my middle finger and your name, just in the name fun though, no hard feelings

I understand it's hard to believe things like this when you can't see them for yourself and there's almost no proof at all.
But again, yeah. I don't really download files like that from Torrent sites, or upload to them. I sometimes download CD's, MAYBE a specific DVD if I have a lot of trouble finding it, and of course the occasional porno. But again, if it's a 4-GIG DVD it takes a while to download.

 so you have a copy?

can we count on you for a release?
Nope! Just like I said - the speed thing. PLUS the fact that basically no one can find this torrent right now means that tons of people would be downloading it off me and slowing my comp down ever further.

 He's probably talking about the disk in the demo unit which currently houses the full version game in game stores. That's what he means by stores getting their copy I believe. If you don't believe it go down to your local gamestop and see.

Not everyone knows how to rip games or have any interest in doing it anyway. Just remember that no one cares if you believe it or not, you can believe whatever you want.

The guy who posted the error screen got his copy from a video game store he works at but can only borrow it when the store closes. Every day it must be returned to be put back in the demo unit. Apparently he ripped the disk and then checked to see if it worked on his Wii, he came back to the forums and said what the error was. No one believed him so he took that picture of the error screen. If he lied..fair enough, your getting the game for free anyway. If he didn't lie then he's trying to dump a game for you guys and I don't think he deserves any disrespect. LETS JUST WAIT AND SEE, we don't have enough info to judge him either way!

sorry if I'm being a bit vicious. I just reckon playing pirated games is a privilege and not a right.

Cubin' has the right idea.
Also, Seraph, you said "I don't believe this obtainable copies crap"?
Gamestop definitely has a demo of the game. Do people actually think that's a lie?
And on top of that, you DO understand that sometimes Gamestop is closed by ONE person, or possibly TWO friends, who want to play this game desperately, right?
So it's completely plausible someone could take it home. And that (since they are corrupted enough to take it home) might know how to copy games, and put it online.

People are so quick to be like "FUCK YOU! LIAR!" It's so odd! I didn't believe it but I wasn't ready to be a dick to anyone. Now the middle finger picture must take place!
smile.gif
How about tomorrow at like 4 or 5 pm?

Yes, 4 or 5.

(some of us do work, ya know)

(...and have hot girlfriends to have sex with)

Hey will this be one of the biggest owns in history?

TBH I don't see why everyones gettin' so worked up about this.

It's a game FFS. Plus you're getting it for FREE. What about all the other people who have a wii in the world without a modchip who'll pay the equivalant of £40 etc. to get the game? Why all the hate? Why all the complaining?

Oh and strangethings, I do find myself believing you, it makes sense that you have a copy of the game but don't want to upload it. And anyway, this is one of those games that have been worked on so much that it deserves to be bought, not d/l.

I don't recall calling anyone a liar, I just said I won't believe this stuff that's going on without any evidence. The point of my post is what is the reason for people to even post these things if they aren't even able to provide evidence? And the point of me saying I was dumbfounded was that you're saying that you also are for the reason of no one uploading it, and yet you can obtain yourself but you don't want to either. Perhaps I wasn't using the right words. I should have said I'm not going to pay much attention to these demo disc leaks.

Because I'm still not sure how/if the demo disks are different than retail, I can't really say that I don't believe the screens. I see the picture of the disc and I'd say it's real, but not retail. I actually asked questions and wanted them to be answered(I still want to know why no one did this with MP3). Oh, and people are so quick to be a dick to someone, even though I was just pointing out something about one of your statements.

And I'm not the kind of person to complain about games getting dumped, which many people seem to get annoyed if a game isn't dumped before release date. I can wait a full day to get my Wii waiting outside a Best Buy wearing shorts in winter, so I think I can wait for a game to actually be released. Also, this isn't even a game that I'm very excited about(probably because I haven't been looking into it much) and I just bought a 360 and a few games. So those and the other games that release before SMG(And Zack&Wiki,which I was probably more excited about due to IGN's Buy it campaign) will meet my gaming needs.

Strangethings, once ripped could you just kindly pop back on and update if your copy worked or not? It'll put to rest the "detecting copied disc" rumour.

I'll be buying the game on release, it looks worth it, but I am curious to see if it CAN be copied.

First off, I kind of deal with these types of things like Kevin Smith. So if you doubt my logic and try to point out where I was hypocritical (when I was not) then my ego WILL force me to respond.

Yup, that's why I'm coming back on at 4 or 5. I'm sure I mentioned in one of my previous posts that I'll be telling you guys what's up with the disc.

To be honest, someone had the disc (the exact copy I have) before me, and they played it for over an hour on an unmodded console. So it looks like the full game, not a demo. And (surprise, surprise) the original disc works on a console with no modchip.

 I don't recall calling anyone a liar, I just said I won't believe this stuff that's going on without any evidence.

Well, your exact quote was "I'm dumbfounded that you're not thinking of dumping and uploading it yourself. (yeah, I don't believe all this leak or obtainable copies crap...)"
You used the exact word I used (dumbfounded) in an attempt to sound sarcastic and condescending, then called the facts I was telling you "crap" (which IS what you said - I talked about how I had an obtainable copy and it could be leaked, to which you responded "yeah, I don't believe all this leak or obtainable copies crap..." after QUOTING MY POST).

To me, straight DICKERY brother man, AND YES, accusing me of saying something false. Right? Also known as LYING right?
So yeah, your claim did throw me into the "liar" category!

But again, like I said, I'll put up the picture tomorrow, with the finger, and a special note for you. And honestly, it's out of fun!

also, you said "The point of my post is what is the reason for people to even post these things if they aren't even able to provide evidence? "

Well I came on because there were 22 pages of posts in less than 48 hours of people saying "what's going on with this??" and I had my answers, which I said I would back up as soon as it was possible to do so. You really think there was no reason to that? I guess that's a judgement call on your end but I just wanted people to say "Okay, I'll check back then." and then when I confirm it they can say "okay well now I know."

Is there a problem with that?

"The point of me saying I was dumbfounded was that you're saying that you also are for the reason of no one uploading it, and yet you can obtain yourself but you don't want to either."

Time to get schooled.
Do I ever upload torrents? No I don't.
Do people ever upload torrents? Yes they do.
Is it normal for ME to upload torrents of a game right when it is release? No, I already stated that I never do.
Is it normal for people to upload torrents of a game right when it is release? ....You can answer that one yourself.

The fact that I came into contact with this disc while I was really not trying to (YES I was trying to find it on the torrent sites because people had been talking about it - but I NEVER thought the physical copy would fall into my lap) showed me that many many many people must have access to it, so I figured ONE of those people might NOT be like me, and YES, upload torrents.

Does that answer all your questions?

I guess this is coming off sort of douchebaggish, and for that, I apologize. Seraph, I'm sure you're normally a little condescending on these sites when you think people are being idiots (which alot of people do, and alot of people are), but when it's me, and I'm being honest, I don't react well to that kind of thing.

I could just not tell anyone anything about it right? But no, I registered JUST to let people know the deal and I'll prove it tomorrow. I thought I was doing a GOOD thing but you immediately attacked the post. And you're STILL trying to attack my logic (but I think this post answered all of that).

I'm sure you're a nice guy (or girl) there's no hard feelings. Still going to do the finger picture though!

Seraph: "Because I'm still not sure how/if the demo disks are different than retail, I can't really say that I don't believe the screens. I see the picture of the disc and I'd say it's real, but not retail...."

Honestly, I felt the same way - I thought it was real. A real 10-minute demo for promotion.

Seraph: "I actually asked questions and wanted them to be answered(I still want to know why no one did this with MP3)."

Exactly. Are you dumbfounded about that? Well I'm dumbfounded about this. I got my Wii about a month ago so Metroid was out well beforehand, so I didn't experience that. But this is weird. A copy of Mario Galaxy literally fell into my hands completely by accident (albeit only overnight), so other people HAVE to have it, and I don't know why no one's putting up online.

Yes, even though I'm not
shy.gif


So Seraph, no hard feelings. I get your logic - I felt the same til I touched this disc with my greasy little paws. But don't try to disprove MY logic, deal?

Also, for any people who are about to say "HEY YOU SAID IN YOUR FIRST POST THE RIP WOULD BE DONE BY 6:30 AND YOU'RE POSTING AND IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME"
A. PC upstairs, me sleepy and downstairs
B. Still would have to burn game
C. Then would have to test original copy
D. Then would have to test fake copy
and if you guys wanted the results
E. Would have to come post results
and if you wanted PROOF (which has been made PAINFULLY obvious that you do...)
F. Would have to make a sign for Seraph
smile.gif

G. Would have to take picture (which will difficult while getting my middle finger in, as well as the sign and the screen)
H. Would have to upload to laptop
I. Would have to shrink in photoshop
J. Would have to upload to photobucket
K. Would have to post pic on here, along with amusing "na na na na - boo boo"-type remarks to close post

And that's half an alphabet too much for this man.

Like I said, 4 or 5 pm tomorrow folks, and you'll have your answers.

BTW - running an NTSC Wii with a Wiikey installed, 1.9.

And to be honest, for one last thing - I'm a little worried about updating my Wii for this game. I know for a fact it asks you to update your Wii when you put SMG in (the person before me with an unmodded console told me) and it gives that creepy message about how modded consoles might no longer function.
I know it also gave that message with Metroid but I looked it up on Google before I updated, and people previous to me said it was fine to do. This time around, I'm sort of my own pioneer.

I'm a little nervous to risk it.

Oh yeah, and fuck this guy.

Just everyone forget about it. Its looking likely the game wont be upped before the JPN release, and even then it probably wont work on ntsc/pal. Id rather wait for the english language. I think ill hold on for the PAL release, as I expect Ill buy the game anyway and want my save file to work =)

I think its more probible that someone that has the game and took some pictures of it, rather that be such a low life that they took the time to photoshop some images.

Although agreably, that flash on the screen does look photoshoped.
