chaoticjelly · 14 January 2006, 23:46

Seen these, dont think its the guys that made them, so let me get this straight, the seller wants £3 for the priveledge of burning a 20p CD?

it's not that much... saves you downloading and searching....

BippyM · 15 January 2006, 00:48

it's immoral and wrong for them to make money on this. Regardless of the cost!

kriz · 15 January 2006, 01:33

I agree! Why should they earn when they have no right to earn from it?!!

You can find everyone at torrentportal.com / search for cd32..

Then you have almost all the compilations, without supportin some low life bastard.

Yeah I suppose its not much but it is wrong, now if the guys who took the time to make the compilations were selling them, id say that was fine

Thanks for that link Kriz, I had been trying edonkey but it was sooooo slow

no problemo

just share it .. i still share it after some weeks ..

I'm afraid I agree with keropi on this one. I've reported many similar cases in the past, but come on - he's only asking for £2.99, and nothing for postage. Sure it's only a CD and a stamp, but take off the PayPal and eBay fees and he's hardly making anything.

Different story altogether if he was charging £15.

Remember not everyone has broadband, and even those that do may have low monthly caps which prevent them from downloading a 400mb+ ISO.

Ultimately this is just another way of sharing.

I am with bippym. It's wrong to sell stuff which you downloaded from somewhere and than make a profit from it. Just report the seller. If you need a copy just ask someone here and you will get a copy.

kriz · 16 January 2006, 00:57

Argh, selling this is lame!! imagine if he sells 10-20 of these everyday it gets some money out of it, i saw he also sold other "roms" cds...

chaoticjelly · 16 January 2006, 01:03

Yeah I am gonna seed it for a while after I get it.. 61.2% at the moment.

Would I be correct in thinking that there was a CD32-100 compilation? That's not included in what im downloading?

Looking for this for ages though, just need to make an adaptor so I can run an ATX PSU with my newly acquired CD32 and pray that it still works!

The 200 game compilation has all games from the 100 compilation which might be the reason why its hard to get... I used to have it on server but dont think it's on there anymore.

chaoticjelly · 17 January 2006, 15:23

Oh ok, thx for enlightening me TheBoss :-) well the 100 compilation is not needed then!

kriz · 17 January 2006, 16:25

its also easy to mod an A1200 (or similar) psu for the CD32, check aminet.net ! I have used an A1200 psu since 99
