Some guy who bought some proto board with mismatched prototype eprom on ebay got in contact with someone that have an eprom programmer (Or the other way around) about dumping the eprom. He also told the guy with programmer that he owned a Steven Segal: The Final option SNES prototype but ''accidentally'' erased all 4 (that's right people, 4 chips that accidentally got removed from their respective IC sockets, then accidentally got left in a powered UV eraser for at least 15 to 20 min Rolling Eyes ) and asked him if he could burn back the prototype rom onto the cart to keep as collector item for himself. Of course, a few days after he agreed the guy listed the prototype as genuine for sale on ebay.

You can even see the guy bought the eprom chip for this scam about 2 week before on ebay (second feedback from the top): http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayI...

I'm hoping nobody will get scammed but the auction is still up and unfortunately already well underway.

I didn't think this game was even to the prototype stage when it was canned. Isn't it only a level or two and that's it? That's the rom they obviously used on the board.

My guess is that the OP and the eBay seller are the same, and the person is just trying to use these threads this to draw attention to their auctions.

OP isn't the same person, as he posted on NESDev first and we went through the whole story. Although he said the owner of the proto lives very close to him, same city.

not the same person. http://www.gamesniped.com/categor... check the comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
edit:

http://www.gamesniped.com/2012/05/11/snes-prototype-boards-n...

at the time of the comment I had understood that bubsy was in the bundle and he had boogerman working.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The owner bought a lot if intelplay developer cards with 11 chips.

-he got to work Lost vikings.

- I believe he read this blog post http://www.nintendoplayer.com/pro...

and since 1 board on the bundle he bought was very similar; he thought he could pull this scam off.

- I sell reproductions locally in Houston, he contacted me out of a craigslist ad. asking me to burn some erpoms he mistakenly deleted. and he was a collector and wanted to have his prototype working for his collection.

- I (yes this was very dumb, and stupid and im aware of that) re-burned the chips at no charge.

- He also had eproms with a label "BT32V" which I thought it was very intriguing, (i did not know any possible rom with that name) so I asked him if I could take a look at them to see if I could make it work. They didn't worked but I dumped the files. and we agreed we would meet again to give him this chips back.

- 2 Days after I gave him his Steven seagal, I see the Steven proto online, So I posted it here and nesdev. I also went and told him on ebay the proto seemed fake. (he didn't know my ebay account name). The same day he posted the proto on ebay was the day we were going to meet to give him the BT32V chips.

- We meet, he mentions the user that keeps telling him that the proto is fake (without knowing is me). He asks me to raise the auction to 11K because he has a 10k offer from a guy from Spain but he has a 15k reserve; and he offered money to me if the proto card would sell for 10k (i don't know how he can see the maximum bid on someone on ebay). But I told him that my account was suspended because I hadn't paid my ebay bill.

-I changed my user name account (if you want to know it to see my feedback on repros PM me).

-He has been texting me that the proto freezes at some points. I just told him that the game was never finished and I did not know if that would be the rom, an error burning the chips, or an anti-piracy protection like earthbound. He never replied back.


-Because I did not charged him to burn this eproms, he gave me a proto card with about 5 chips.

2 Clay fighter chips, another chip with an I , another chip with black tape, and another chip with boogerman on the label.

- if anyone is interested in taking a look to these roms (7 total) let me know. I have only made Clay fighter 2 start but not play (on the emulator, on the console i get a green screen only).


I know it was a bit stupid from my part to burn the chips, but I did it with good intentions and to try to build a relationship with the retro gaming community in Houston. I guess I can't trust people anymore.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:

And the reason I been looking at prototypes lately, is because I want to dump an undumped rom to the community, don't ask me why, i just  want to, So I want to buy a proto that has never been dumped lol. I found the Falcon snes proto, but it went for like 300 bucks, and I just don't have that amount of money right now. the Lost Vikings 2 thread i made it before figuring out the same guy was the guy about the Steven proto, with that listing is how I found the steven seagal because It doesn't show up when you make the "snes prototype" search on ebay.

You had the opportunity to tell him you have an issue with your programmer corrupting data resulting in the freezing part of the proto, take back the chip for reprogramming and program back corrupted data. Again, you didn't try to fix the issue you created. You know that there is a poor guy somewhere that is about to shell out 900$ USD on a fake prototype because of you?
