Apparently Nintendo would just send out dev builds to close developers to show off what they were working on and get feedback.

It would go both ways too, it’s how Miyomoto would give feedback to Western devs.

From what I gather that is still a thing, but with Wario World. I don’t have a dev account anymore so I am not sure if that is still a thing though.

I'm not disagreeing, it is cool, I'm just bored of people who show off one or two pictures of a unique thing they have before burying it back in the Vault, never to be seen or experienced by anyone else.

What do the Stampers even do now aside from being filthy rich?

I assume that posting what photos they have on Twitter is already enough to burn bridges with Nintendo.

He could livestream himself dumping the ROM and uploading it online and then eBay those 3 sealed copies of Ocarina of Time to pay for his legal defense.

Or his mountains of cash or whatever because he's rich.

One of their son's started a mobile game company lol and they backed it but I don't think they're involved other than that.

Disco all night long!

Doesn't this happen a lot in the arcade collecting community? Someone gets something undumped and they just lock it away in a basement because if they dump it the value might technically go down?

I'm trying to think of some examples of that but I only vaguely remember it happening, but I swear it's happened more than once.

I have this maybe biased conception of the arcade community being just awful. Every time I have to interact with mame devs it's like getting my wisdom teeth removed through the top of my skull with no anaesthetic so that might be why.

Edit: well I guess an example was literally right there in the posts above me.

the ‘arcade community’ is a lot of different things. the rhythm game people have their own private communities like sows where they share arcade machine images among other stuff. the people really into shmups have their own corners online and tend to be pretty nice and knowledgeable mostly. ‘collectors’ who care more about the value of what they have can suck poo poo tho yeah

collectors who are concerned about My Prototype's Value :qq: are, unfortunately, not unique to any particular system or group.

though in the case of arcade games and neo-geo poo poo, iirc there are a few known prototypes out there and they really hate the idea of any of them getting dumped

That one got leaked a while ago, the version you're referring to was bought by a dude who went by the handle psx museum who had first dibs on it from a private seller, then turned around and tried to sell it for a stupid amount of money. Me and 2 others were negotiating for the sale but it fell through because he kept raising the price.

Unfortunately for him, the same build had multiple copies in the wild (2 that I know of) and it got leaked about five years ago, give or take.

People have been using that leaked build to turn it into an actual completable game for a while now, to mixed success.

E: on reflection there's probably at least one more build out there, but I've not looked into it in any huge detail

From all the stories I've read about various attempts to purchase some of the copies out there, apparently at least one person legit owns a copy of the "80 percent build" that is more complete than what was leaked some time ago
