Maybe it's a known topic but I was very baffled to discover this today:

Apparently someone takes hacks from this website (like Newer or mine) and puts them on a flashcard selling them on aliexpress afterwards.
And people are buying it.

It's bold beyond belief but I doubt anyone can do something against it as aliexpress most likely doesn't give a shit.
Your thoughts?

Reminds me of when flashcarts with Another Super Mario 3D were sold on Etsy (see ASM3D's K64 hack thread). Skawo said it's a waste of money: you can get the hack for free on the board. Here, same thing. Don't waste money on this bullshit! Publicly distributing ROMs is already illegal, but SELLING them??? Damn guys. This is beyond uploading prepatched hackroms on ROM sites, this is making money that should'be been Nintendo's! This is definitely dishonourable. I sincerely hope the Nintendo ninjas will check AliExpress...

EDIT: I got curious and googled "super mario star road cartridge". 59 goddamn dollars and 99 cents for a cartridge? Look guys - this is why we do not allow linking to ROMs.

LOL
reminds me of this etsy listing i saw once for a poster of a screenshot from a youtube video of a full playthrough of newer smbds
they were also selling mugs and framed pictures and pillows of that one screenshot
and it like literally still had the youtube ui visible on it

Don't expect bootleg merch to not just be blatantly ripped from a screenshot or artwork. I'll check if more hacks are being sold. I mean, maybe there are hacks being sold for over 100 dollars/pounds/euros etc. Would anyone buy those?

Oh yeah, and Super Nintendo World, the theme park, has a cactus decoration that's from a NewerWii tileset! Read that once on Supper.

Nintendo probably can and will sue them, judging by the fact they shut down free fangames.
hopefully they won't shut us down after finding out.

Do it Nintendo ninjas. Do it.They won't. Thierry nuked all commercial ROMs from the uploader a while ago. And MF64 once said he posted a ROM link after noobs kept begging for a prepatched ROM of one of his hacks. All Nintendo did, was letting him nuke the ROM link and nothing else. Also, currently, they're on the hunt for Switch piracy. RIP Ryujinx. But this does put us at increased risk indeed.

Oh yeah, and SMB64 for €89,90. Ridiculous, even for a Kaze hack. As  Arisotura would say, death to capitalism.

Nice to see you  Arceus!



The question is: Does he makes money with that? How much?

Because if yes and many he's violating Nintendo's copyright and the time of the hackers.


When I see that I'm happy to remember the warning screen...

well they didn't do a good job at making them.


nes super Mario bros looking box art. doesn't use the actual logo.


the amount of stuff here. why is the 1.16 on the logo?

thats a slightly modified version of some fanmade boxart i saw on deviantart once i think also the 1.16 was probably just added by them to like specify what version of the game it is i think idk

so they're stealing fanart (will it be fanart?) too?

terrible, vile, company.

didn't seem to remove the watermark either.

Probably not a company either though
probably just a group of like a few people who wanna make some extra money via idk etsy or aliexpress
And that definitely is not what it looks like irl XD
