Sonic 2 BETA ROM

Wow. Nice!

 

Shiiiit, and I thought my ROMs folder was big. O_o

 

Actualy, DVDs and my own HD were too small, so I bought a bunch of used HDs to store them on. I have a stack of drives on my shelf here with nothing but roms on them. ISOs are different, I just burn them as soon as they finish.

 

I have the entire MD ROM Collection myself, as verified by GOODGen. Go for it and keep the ROM.

 

I don't think he is ready for that. He still needs to get over his fear of all those bogus warning messages.

The fact is, 3588897, they aren't making money off these games anymore. And because of this, they don't realy give a shit. Neither do the police. BTW, I would reccomend that you NOT download roms from websites. There are better and safer ways of obtaining roms. (By safer, I mean some sites are malicious.)

 

Well, this site is safe to download from, and I'm pretty sure you can trust the other members. But try to avoid other websites the require voting and such.

As for getting roms from different sources, you can get individual roms and probably full sets from IRC rom channels. Another way, but almost always offers complete sets, is torrents. You could risk getting a virus if you use a file sharing program such as Kazaa, but with the right software, it could be done safely. You could also trade through instant messangers, which is kinda akward as you must first find someone that has roms, then convince them to send you some.

There are a few other ways like FTP and even DOS file transfers if you are that extreme, or you could get a friend you know in real life to burn some onto a CD. Owning a rom is NOTHING. Take it from someone that has almost every game that came from a cartridge, YOU WON'T GET IN TROUBLE FOR ONE ROM!!!

 

If a little humour a day keeps the gloom away, you just sorted me out for the month.

I've seen people openly boast about copying new console games in front of police officers. If THEY didn't do anything, I highly doubt someone who doesn't know (because the only people who will know you have the rom is yourself and possibly your isp if they gave a damn to check) will do anything, especially for a 10+year old beta game.

'Sides, Sega knows we have the beta. If they cared, this site and others like it wouldn't be here. Companies can no more control the internet and what you download than old people can their bowels.

 

I have a friend who's a policeman and guess what? I gave him ROMs and he didn't even know what they were. Its that safe.

 

THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO GETTING THE ROM!

There are a few places that acually had betas of Sonic 2 in the early 90s. If you can track one down, which we'll require a lot of research and sluething on your part, then you will:
1) Be our hero.
2) Have a beta.
3) Likely get full membership here.
4) Win.
6) Get to yell our the sacred words,
"I HAEV TEH BAETAH!!11"

Really, It'll be awesome. Quit looking for ROMs. They're illegal, take it from 8-bit Dragon there.

 

JAIL


I'm positive they're coming to get you as we're speaking. Also, they can find any ROMs in your hard drive even if you have deleted them, I suggest you just throw your computer out of the window and pretend it's not yours.

 

No offence 3588897, but it looks like we have a turd here. First, why would someone choose a stupid name such as "3588897" that no one can barely even remember? Second, why say crap like "ONOES I IZ GITING ARESTED F0R TEH DOWNLOADING S2B ONOES OMFG LOL" or "IZ IT TEH SAFE 2 TEHHH DOWNLOAD S2B LOL LOL OMFG," honestly, SEGA doesn't care, and if they did, this site woudn't even exist at all. Either leave, or shape up, or else you won't get approved due to being a n00bish scaredy cat. Sorry if this is a bit harsh, but crap like this just makes you look bad.

 

Yeah, really, the ONLY person that Sega would care about in this situation would be the person who first dumped and spread the beta ROM, and since that happened back in 1991 or 1992, noone knows who did it, so it'd be pointless on Sega's behalf.

 

Wow, you are paranoid. My dad works for the government, and he knows I do ROM hacking. He doesn't give a shit, either, except his saying it's not consructive. =P

 

3588897 If you even THINK about downloading that ROM again. I will report you to sega, the police, and the FBI.

 

Dude, copyright infringement genrally, actually, mostly does NOT involve police or getting arrested.

Don't worry, download the ROM, have some fun with it. If we were going to get in trouble, like others said, it would have happened a long time ago.
