D'oh, wish I can donate some $25 out of my $200, but I'm saving it all for something else! Good luck on getting the $410 though. Hope we find some goodies in here that differ from the Xbox E3 Build aswell!

Ok! So after negotiating with this guy, he is willing to sell us the proto for 400$ ( plus 10$ shipping). After talking with Orengefox, we're decided the best is to start a donation pool to buy it. So..any contribution will be appreciated!

You can send money by paypal to [email protected]

Let's help ashthedragon out here folks. For those of you who already have, thank you for your contributions.

Like ashthedragon said, the plan of attack will be to get as many donations in possible. ashthedragon will look into how much she can actually chip in herself.

Since ashthedragon was the one who found this GC Sonic Heroes E3 disc and made contact with the owner, she should be the only one talking to this guy.

Once we have enough donations, ashthedragon will send the money over via PayPal to this guy and will have the GC Sonic Heroes E3 disc shipped out to the person who will be dumping it.

And yes we do have a trustworthy member here on Retro who can dump this disc for us and knows exactly how to go about it. I can't say who for privacy reasons but I have full trust in this person let's put it to you that way.

Having spoken to ashthedragon, I have full trust in her and all. She knows what she's doing so I'll leave her to it.

Like I said before, I remember finding this disc on eBay awhile back but had already been sold off. Thinking we probably missed our only chance to ever get this disc, we've lucked out and have been given one more chance.

So let's not let this slip, otherwise we may never see it again.

You can send money by paypal to [email protected] . We've also found a trustworthy member who is able to dump it, so if we get the money, we will have this little one dumped and preserved for all the community /> Let's work all together to achieve this!

I just sent USD$15.- Good luck with the proto...

[ashthedragon]

Wow! I just received a donation of 350€ from a nice gentleman who didnt give his retro username and I don't know if I should give his real name so if you're reading this,thanks you very much and contact me if you want to be properly credited. With that and NioZero's donation (Gracias!) I think we have more than enough money to cover the entire proto and even more! Thanks everyone!!!!
Im waiting for the seller to send me photos of the proto to make sure its in good condition and as soon as he does I will pay it and it will be sent to the retro member who will dump it.
Will keep you informed!

[Tanks]

Quick question? Does your guy possibly have any more GCN protos? If so, even if they're not Sonic or SEGA related, it might be worth investing some of that overflow money (since it looks like after the euro conversion you now have a bit of $410) into maybe another proto drive? I dunno, just a suggestion really. If this does happen to be the case, I'll be happy to put some of my own money into it as I'll actually have a bit more of a disposable income soon.

[ashthedragon]

hello everyone!
The proto is already on route to the trustworthy retro member who is dumping it!
About getting more protos,well, I might have something under my sleeve. but it will have to wait a bit. I prefer waiting to see if this one arrives safe before asking him for more.

again, thanks you very much to all who donated!!

I'm curious is there was any news about this? Like if the person who got the disc managed to dump it by now?

Cool how the disc manage to get purchased

[ashthedragon]

The person already received the disk and is in the process of dumping it I've not updated because I wanted to wait until a dump is ready. But now that you ask for it, here is a photo of the game running in a dev gamecube ( cut some parts of the image to hide anything that could be used to identify this person, wants to remain anonymous)

Sorry for the mini-bump, but I was just curious if there was any update on this.

[Lanzer]

Yeah this was just kind of forgotten about, did we lose it?

[Jen]

It's not lost; there are reasons why this hasn't surfaced yet, but it will happen eventually.

[evilhamwizard]

Apologies for the bump yet again but are there any updates on this? The wait is killing me. :P

If it's anything like the E3 Xbox build it'll still have some files left over from the other non-playable stages, which will make my life a bit easier to look into since I can use Dolphin.

Is it a technical level or are there still talks of payment and whatnot?
