I have a feeling the rom isn't lost. and could be easily dumped. I don't like the situation of this at all ._.

So, I'm extremely sorry if I have a hard time believing this will be a limited run only. but the evidence doesn't add up for sure. Not trying to start controversy as I've been following this for awhile hoping it'd pop up for sale. I just honestly want an explination on why the Rom can't be dumped. or the person who made the boards doesn't have the rom file anymore. With a little research and help from a few people, we've compiled this list that concerns us.

"I, being one who is knowledgeable in cars and not NES boards, put out an ad looking for someone to do some minor color work to the existing DK ROM, and dump it onto a chip for me. I was contacted by Proveaux on NA, and we discussed what i wanted. Basically, a blue ape that threw rings. He took the original ideas and ran with it. he ran long and hard. Before he was done, we had an awesome game lined up."

5-7 Comments from people asking for a copy.

"i appriciate all the interest, both in this thread and in PM's , but 4 out ofthe 5 copies have already been spoken for, they are getting shipped out to friends. I'm not looking at having any more made, but I will keep it in mind for the future.

IF i were to have more made (which i certainly am not planning for quite some time, if ever) i would only probably have made up 5-10 more. "

Feb 28
"Nope. My integrity is worth more than money. i said i wouldn't sell, and so im not going to sell. 4 carts are getting put in the mail today. "

Mar 1
"Ok peoples, heres what the whispers are saying. There "may" be a few more carts being made. They "may" be up on an NA auction. They "may" be slightly different than the originals. "if" they are for auction, there won't be enough for everyone. I will post more details as they come to light. "

"If you don't want to make anymore, can you post the rom and label so we can make our own? "

Mar 27
"I'm making ten. They're getting auctioned, and then there will be no more. " "Auction on here. You guys asked for more carts, so I made more for you guys. "

April 25
"the short anser on the ROM? no, it wont be released. The long answer? the ROM died on my now corrupted hard drive, in the computer i tossed in the trash a month ago.

And when Proveaux wrote the original ROM, he set it up so that when it was dumped onto a cart, it could not be pulled off again."

May 1
"If i had a way of making more of these, and making them easily and affordably, i would definitely be mass producing them "
In response to mass production - "No can do. the original ROM's died on my last hard drive. "

Auction thread
"This is your ONLY chance at getting one. There are only a total of 19 of these carts made."

Personally, I hope Dankay Kang stays this way, only 19 made. Otherwise everyone who gets one would be wasting their money, take me for example: I get one for $160, then a couple months later, they are being mass produced and being sold here for $20 each. The only thing that would resolve this is if he makes some sort of change to the ones made after this, so the ones that he is auctioning off now would still technically be very rare, since there are only 12 NA edition carts right now.

And here come the conspiracy theories. Seriously, guys. This started as a joke. I've known about it from the start, so trust me. Lee never intended for this to happen. It just happened. Not everyone is all about money. Not everyone sits at home and plots elaborate money making schemes. Sometimes, things just happen to fall into place for events like this to occur. You could almost say he simply won the lottery as far as the money he's raking in goes.

I am missing your point majesty. He said he doesn't have the ROM to give out and won't be making more carts. Yes someone could most likely pull the ROM off of one of the carts, but what are you trying to prove? What is there not to "like about the situation"?

I share this feeling. I don't believe for a second that it's been erased, and I seriously doubt that the carts can't be dumped. Too bad I bid too low and can't dump it myself, now...

Well since you like looking for conspiracies, let me help you out with one. What do you mean by this? The creator of the rom stated quite clearly he didn't want it released to the public. So you wanted to secure a copy so you could make your own copies? To sell them for a profit maybe? I have a hard time believing you wanted to make the rom publicly available for great justice. Yeah, I'm just stirring up wild accusations here, but it's the same as what you're doing. Honestly, it just sounds like you are sore because you aren't getting a copy.

Here's a new question: What would you like the first set of carts called?

I mean, the ones being auctioned off, to me, would obviously be Dankey Kang, NA Edition. So what would you like the first set referred to as so I could update my aftermarket price guide. First Edition is okay. Or I suppose I could just let it stay as Dankey Kang by itself.

Your thoughts?
