If you came across something EXTREMELY valuable and highly sought after by the community that has never seen the light of day until you stumbled on it, would you want it back after it's been dumped and preserved? Would you care at that point (the important thing was making sure it got preserved, you don't care about the cart itself)?
>>12560725It's mine. i want it back. Make a trillion copies of it, but i want back what is mine, simple as that.
>>12560725>would you want it back after it's been dumped and preserved?Yes, because after it's been dumped I'm going to sell it.
>>12560725>after it's been dumped and preserved?That would never happen. I'd record myself smashing it with a sledgehammer.

>>12560725privately dump the romsell the original to some fat hoarderwait a few monthsbegin selling overpriced repros onlinewatch the fat hoarder have a public meltdown
>>12560725if i really needed money and it was valuable, i'd just sell it and ask the buyer if it could be dumped.
>>12560774This. Copy it, but i want my shit back later.
>>12560725Nigga, I'll fucking dump it myself and share it and not be a tranny!
>>12560725I would dump it myself since I'm not a retard.
>>12560725>the communityfuck off it's a hobbypeople only pretend there's a community when they want something that someone else has
>>12560802This>>12560809Who cares about that? 1000 nerds seething is more valuable than a couple fags playing it to say the music in stage 3 is slightly faster than the official release so the other 998 never have to actually play it. Really this stuff is just junk, there's a reason these games were either never released or were not released in the state they were in at that point in development.
I upload a video of the gameplay and then get hounded by lostmedia trannies until finally dumping it just to shut them up.cf. the comments here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyNu15DkZTQ

>>12560725>would you want it back after it's been dumped and preservedYes, why wouldn't I? Protos retain some of their value even after being dumped and shared, plus they're cool collectibles regardless.

>>12560725I’d put it in my console and see what it is. Then I’d probably throw it away, people online suck I’m not letting them know I have it let alone sharing it.
>>12560802>>12561343>i would just destroy free money
>>12561528>kids saying things on the internet pretending to be “based”
>>12560834This is the correct option. Sorry coomlector, but your unreleased alpha build SNES mahjong game is available for all the other (two) people who care.
>>12560725I'd just dump it myself
>>12561552Based? Based on what?
I would see if it works, then I would immediately sell it. Leave it up to the next owner if they want to dump it or not. I'd rather insure my children's future than please cutting room floor trannies and redditing collector faggots.
>>12561664Crack cocaine and sherm.
>>12561824Do you think you're getting more for a cat in a bag or for a confirmed unique item?
Gaijin piggu should not share geemus. It's criminal.
>>12562038With something like prototypes it really would depend. On the one hand people have unceremoniously sold unreleased games as, and for the price of, generic prototypes because they couldn't be bothered to test or research, but on the other hand, the majority of the time prototypes tend to be final or practically final versions of random games. That said I would assume most prototype sellers who understand this and actually check their games before selling just sell it as a prototype and don't say anything about the contents if they know it's final.
