    Default Doesn't it seem kind of petty to mention you have a proto/rare dump but

    you're not going to release it? I mean the message just comes across as "haha i have this rom and you don't."

    Btw this stems from someone saying they dumped the "Super Maruo" game for Famicom that he found on a pirate cart, but he's currently "hoarding" it

    Why would you even mention it? Just... don't be a fag.

    I have a serious answer. At the very least it lets people know the thing exists. Fills the community in while simultaneously an implicit acknowledgment that "it might be for sale." It doesn't exactly do any good to find something and then lock it up in a vault without ever letting anybody know it's there.

    The other stuff...I have my thoughts on. But they involve semi-complicated issues of value and market forces as well as some introspective looks about personal goals related to the lifespan of some of these games. In some sense, proto owners are racing the clock. It's not worth going into. Suffice to say it will take a bit more than a "Yo, look what I found" post to make me label that person a jackass.

    1) Collectability is often a reason for doing this... value goes down after a ROM dump.

    2) Try to use better words than "fag". Douche.

    Doesn't it seem kind of petty to post a catalog error as an unreleased game?

    Hey, show some respect for female hygenic tools, will ya? Excuse me, "heeeeey." I think that "queer" is an acceptable alternative here.
