Hey all. So I managed to buy a Super magic drive this week (with FDD woohoow!), and finally got around to making a fresh dump from the Sonic 2 beta pirate cart and the other S2 Pirate cart for you guys. In case anyone's forgotten, these 2 carts:



Also made a dump of my Crackers cart... just in case. You can download all 3 .SMD files included in a .zip here:

You can view the video of me dumping the S2 beta pirate cart here: https://www.youtube....h?v=JgWUflMInQw

I tested the dumps in various emus however I can't seem to get the beta running (except in Ages, in which it works only partially). Do me a favor and tell me this is exactly the same as the Wai ROM... or make me happy and tell me it's actually a different version />

Time to spice things up a bit. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what I'm talking about after reading the topic description.


Assumed to be long gone, lost forever and disappeared into a dark void...



...these rarities have finally been found, and are now owned by me.


Now, before you all go "hoax! FAKE!", rest assure, these are real. Real as in:

• they are the very same exact cartridges, as seen in the above photo.
  
• are complete with their original case, and original boxart of which scans exist.
  
• these are NOT reproductions.

I've taken several photo's of them (along with some other rarities I own), which can be seen at my website:

Here's a little teaser:




History of the "s2 beta pirates":

I obtained these cartridges this week after buying them from a person in Sunnyvale, California, who had them in his possession for 13 years. He was a former member of the Sonic communities in the heydays of SonicRetro, when Simon Wai was still active with his website.
A guy in Australia had the beta, which his father bought him back in 1992 somewhere in Europe, and the guy from California bought it from him. Shortly after, he found the non-beta Sonic 2 beta and the Sonic 3 pirates on ebay. I bought all three from him. And yes, they're in a safe place, I am collecting Megadrive games, they will be taken care of very well!

If you don't believe me these are the real deal after seeing the pics, come and visit me here in the Netherlands sometime, and I'll show you (only during visiting hours, and when I'm carrying a shotgun).

Hey all, I am looking for a sega kiosk, the small version with blue and orange colors. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here's how it looks:





I've played on this as a kid when my family and I were on vacation and staying at a hotel in Germany. The kids corner had this kiosk with Sonic 3 (if I'm not mistaken it was a prototype build, near final) as a playable game. I really want to own one and was wondering if anyone has it and perhaps willing to part with it.

Thanks for any info
