You won't like it when eBayers pricegouge your own hard work for personal profit, either.

Hey, what do we have here?

A enigmatic BS Zelda "PAL Cartridge", eh?

And hardly even -days- after Con released the "Real Hardware" hack project out.

Can we put two and two together here? Ah, yes. Yes we can.

For reference, I spent many days bug-testing these ROMs on my Super UFO ROM copier.
Yeah, quite a volunteering, wasn't it?
I would have liked to believe that this would not have been the first sight I'd see of a "repro cart" - all my hard work and I don't even get my own? I didn't even get to hear "YEAH THIS WORKS ON PAL BTW CAN I SELL IT?" from this guy.

That's to say nothing about how this is already approaching more money than A repro of NWC 1990, the "most collectible" Nintendo game - and it likely won't be spent in the least on more Satellaview research that would be sent to the public.

I don't particularly like being dismissive, but, hey, I've petitioned hundreds of people to donate to Matthew Callis to get more Satellaview ROMs going around and no one gave a dime - so why should someone who slapped a ROM hack onto a PAL cartridge get more money in one eBay auction than I got in a year of working on this blog?
