NES/SNES beta ROMs
Are there any available of such games as Final Fantasy, Super Mario Bros. (1) and the like? I have the English prototype of Final Fantasy II, but since seeing that thread a while ago about a prototype Final Fantasy I, I'd love to have a copy of the ROM that I can play with.
I also think it would be immensely cool to see protoytpes of SMB1 (NES) and Super Mario World (SNES).
Can anyone help? Thanks.
We don't do roms on this site - it's in the rules.
Google is your friend.
I actually have a proto Super Mario I cart believe it or not...
I believe very much...anything noteable about it dreamtr?Originally Posted by DreamTR
Probably not since the Japanese version came out first and there's nothing eally different from cart to cart on the things...
Is that a fan translation, or am i completely braindead and don't remember an "official" english rom?
Years ago, Lost Levels released a ROM from a prototype official translation.
Supposedly it was completely in English, but lacked proofreading, which it probably would've gotten if it was released.
scaar: I looked; I can't find anything useful.
DreamTR: Now you've wound me up - since I probably shouldn't ask you if you made a dump of it, and if you had I probably couldn't ask for it...
The FFIIe rom is real to the best of my knowledge, and the translation does seem to be ever-so-slightly broken - even the names don't make sense, actually (MingWu, anyone?).
Note: The forums I come from freely distribute old software, so forgive me if I've broken a rule in asking. I'm a BETAArchiver, specifically - if anyone cares.
No harm, no foul. But it happens to be Rule Number One in the FAQ (see link at top of page:

mark: you can have the game for thousands of dollars if you want. I can't give away my games for free if I paid lots of money for them.
Don't be stupid. You CAN give away games you paid lots of money for, and should.
People will LOVE you for it!

Well of course he COULD. But then again, you could buy them from him at twice what he paid, release them for free, and people will love YOU, possibly twice as much!

Got any obscure game stuff?
Well, how about YOU pay him twice as much as he originally did.
I’m seriously sick of your commie talk.
You can also open the window and throw out all your money. Would you? Probably not.
10 day temporary ban for repeatedly trolling and requesting content not legal to distribute.
Every single post of yours was directly begging for copyrighted materials, or in relation to a previous post of yours begging for them.
If you come back and act the same, you won't last nearly as long or be back so quickly.
My opinion:
Unreleased games - Still dicey, especially if the game features a licenced character or brand name (Garfield, Rocky/Bullwinkle, Dungeons & Dragons). Besides, as the FAQ says, retro-comp collections, Xbox Live, and other services are digging deep into the vaults to release stuff like this. So better to err on the side of caution since these games COULD become released games from the original creator or a company that purchased the rights lawfully.
Homebrew games - I assume that a homebrew author is still alive and kicking and holds any and all rights to the game he/she created. So the point is moot. If I wrote a self-published book, then found someone was making copies and distributing it, I'd be fairly pissed off.Out of respect to retrogaming stores, game developers, and growing legal concerns, discussion about the obtaining of illegal ROMs is prohibited.

Eat Communism 2K monies?
Wow, I'm not asking for anything here again.
Thanks very much everybody.
Asking for something for nothing and only being here two months = what are you expecting?
