Thread 11870404

How much do you guys normally pay for your retro game save files?

That's a solid side hustle idea

>>11870404 (OP)
>paying for savefiles
they're free on GayFags

Don't let Konami hear about this

There was a Japanese company in the 90s called Spec Computer that tried doing that with PSX cards. One of their cards was for Tokimeki Memorial. It had save files with various stats hacked to 999, and a few right before some of game's harder to get endings. Spec Computer ended up getting sued by Konami.

The irony of this is that Tokimeki Memorial has a cheat code for getting 999 in all stats. You activate it by naming yourself ×.

Oops that didn't encode properly. You name yourself the arrow symbols for the Konami code.

There's people who pay money for saves?

>>11870529
Here in the western world back in the day you used to get pre-made save files on demo discs

>>11870404 (OP)
LOL holy fuck. I need to get in on this.
>>11870476
yeah, in formats nobody can use because they're made for contemporary devices that hardly even exist anymore
try using a gamefaqs save on your emulator, go on

>>11871074
there is something called ''save converters''?

>>11871168
you're making shit up. if you weren't, you would have named one of these so-called "save converters"
nobody ever bothered to write programs to convert DexDrive saves to emulator-compatible saves

>>11871175
here you go nigger

tried it back in February, doesn't work for the stuff on gamefaqs. whoops!

These have always seemed a little funny to me. Similar to those guys who sell flashcart generated event legendaries from the older Pokemon games.

>>11871214
why don't you post a link to the saves you're trying to use, then?

>>11871234
>why don't you post a link to the website whose name has been used half a dozen times now?
nigger are you retarded?

>>11871246
i'm talking specific games/files, retard
i know what fucking gamefaqs is

>>11871249
then I imagine you know how to find save files on a game's page without being spoonfed

>>11871258
yes, so tell us what game you're trying to get saves for

>>11871262
I'm good.

https://segaretro.org/Dreamcast_VM_Data_Shuu
Has a ton of Dreamcast saves including now unobtainable DLCs and the full unlock data for Grauen No Torikago. Goes for a chunk of change if you’re looking for a physical copy.

>>11870404 (OP)
I mean, at least they're selling the actual memory card with the saves in, and not just the salve files.
Is this a profitable business?
You can probably get like 20 chink MCs for that price.

>>11870529
Wasn't there some guy in Japan that was sent to jail for selling hacked save files recently?

>>11871798
Yeah. It was for Breath Of The Wild.

I remember Xbox Magazine would always make a big deal about all of the cool special save files that came with the demo discs. I never really used them but I thought they were cool how they weren't just "unlock everything", sometimes they deliberately gave you permanent cheat codes or even installed exclusive DLC.

>>11871214
skill issue. no one else has this problem, you're just really really dumb.

>>11870404 (OP)
I hoard hundreds of saves in a master folder...maybe I should look into this

>buy Red and Blue carts in bulk back in the early 00s for cheap
>got lots of legit tournament Mews

>>11872206
i still have my "legit" "tournament" mew

>>11871639
NTA but it's clearly stated that it includes a GC memory card. Not the worst deal if you're lazy/dumb

>>11872683

dead battery, its over. in all seriousness why not dump it?

Zero!

Skill issue.
