yes.


its a big pile of crap for ppl that are too lazy to steal their own rom collection.

5 dvds? and no sega cd games?
so thats about 4.5 dvds full of crap.

[Furnessly]

ROMS (and emulators) on a disc are nothing new, these seem to be quite a fair few around with MAME usually being the most common. These are illegal and shouldn't really be bought, I bet the seller wanted a quick buck to a gulliable person. Most of this is filler that is easy to download of the Internet.

Let's go though the list for pointlessness sake:

1026 roms for Sega Master System emulators, 666 roms for Sega Game Gear emulators, 5871 Sega Genesis\32X roms ever released,

I imagine that there are more out there now, especially for undumped games, prototypes and hard to find games.

*huge collection of emulators of Sega consoles for dos, mac, windows, etc.,

Why would you want a large selection? Kega Fusion is really all you need for basic gameplay (for programming and other stuff, then maybe you need a couple for testing purposes). Probably all taken from Zophar or a similar site. For the legal side, there's various compliations that Sega did okay them might not be the best but people who are unsure about the emulation argument can go for them.

*thousands of Sega games ending screens in .png, .jpg, .gif formats

Taken and stolen from VGMuseum. Not sure about the jpg ones but who would want them?

1200+ Sega games maps in total,

Stolen from VGMaps and maybe SMSPower in terms of Master System maps.

Sega games soundtracks in different formats, including .midi, .vgz, .mp3, etc.,

Sigh.... Project2612, Zophar, VGMusic, VGM mp3 hosting sites, etc. The Game Gear/Master System midis would be most likely done by a fellow called Johnnyz considering that he did a large amount of them.

hundreds of scanned game covers, boxes and cartridges, including 348 high resolution scans of Sega Genesis covers,

Various places online, too many to list. It would be funny if they still have Mobygames or ZoneSega watermarks on them.

hundreds of Sega games manuals in .pdf format, technical and programming documentation,

The hardware documentation is probably found at various forums/ Sega programming places and the manuals are elsewhere. For the MS/GG ones might be from SMSTributes though.

thousands of Sega games screenshots

If you have the games, why do you want 1000s of screenshots? Unless the seller took them himself, then they are stolen from various places maybe even this very site.

500+ sprites in .png and .gif format

I bet some of them might be my own that I done considering that not many people do Mega Drive sprites excluding Sonic. If not then they are found at Spriters Resource, Sprite Database and The Mystical Forest in terms of Sonic sprites, strangely he/she didn't steal many from the Master System section. Nowadays there are more than double that number and increasing.

Sega video commercials, games longplays, speedruns, games videosnaps

Probably taken from here, Youtube, TASVideos, RecordedAmigaVideos or wherever they call themselves these days that do longplays.

Sega Genesis/32X GamesBase frontend, Sega Master System GameBase frontend,

First I thought it was MEKA for the second part until I discovered that this is what the seller is on about an open source and free frontend mainly used for Commodore 64 games.

The description of the actual item gets worse to the point of physically sighing. I think the only good and right thing that the seller did was not selling the item at the end.

This is illegal he going get arrested by the FBI

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

Not to be a Johnny Raincloud, but the FBI won't touch him for a couple of reasons. First is that he is apparently is Australia. Second, if the FBI went after everyone that took other people's work and sold it as their own, they would have nothing else to do. Just my 2 cents.

The seller has deleted this classified ad. This item is no longer available for sale.

That didn't take long.

[nathanallan]

I didn't even get to look at it. Oh well, he knew he was wrong, or he got told.

Nice to see you, quickscifi, haven't seen you much (might just be me).
