Really? Better than Play Asia? I think it might cost more through Amazon if I have to get a proxi company to get it to me.I can recommend to purchase the amazon.co.jp version. Has some Amazon extrashttps://gematsu.com/2018/04/ketsui-kizuna-jigoku-tachi-for-ps4-physical-edition-announced-for-japan
I pre-ordered from Play Asia.
It cost me around 77 euros. Amazon.co.jp ships internationally, no problem. Just do a another tap open with Google Translate and you're good to go.Really? Better than Play Asia? I think it might cost more through Amazon if I have to get a proxi company to get it to me.
What all extra is there in the Amazon release? That's about $20 over Play-Asia.It cost me around 77 euros.
To be honest, I didn't check . Went blindly on the tweet from Elixir (Amazon link) - but it seems there is a Deathtiny Instruction Card added.What all extra is there in the Amazon release? That's about $20 over Play-Asia.
I've got plenty of experience in related collectors markets and I agree on pricing. If anything, remasters and re-releases increase the value 99% of the time as awareness grows and the laws of supply/demand take over, plus there will be a contingent of collectors that just have the original print run version.I also don't think having some CAVE shooters available on MAME right now has lowered the prices of the PCBs, or the demand for new games coming out. I just pre-ordered the CAVE re-release game on PS4, so for me it didn't!That is usually not the point from the owners of the Intellectual Property. The old cartridges already have been sold, they can't sell them again. The high prices for retro does not go to the original publishers/creators.Why most of the time IP owners are so protective, is when they want to reuse the brand on newer consoles/machines; with respins or re-makes. They believe people who are using/playing their old ROMs will not buy the newer ports/re-spins.Just dumping ROMs usually doesn't affect games (look at current prices for retro games on NES/SNES/PCE for example) however, being able to pass off a conversion as the real deal would definitely allow scum bags to sell less expensive games for more money.
Same goes for CAVE (or whoever owns the CAVE-IP).
This is actually exactly the kind of thing Cave needs to be doing themselves. I bet there would be a surprising number of takers for things like exact arcade kit reproductions that are complete in every way but having no PCB in the box, $100 coffee table artwork books, poster and print runs licensed out and actually available on a continuous basis, getting Steam PC releases out the door, etc. It's one of those "what part of I'm trying to give you money don't you understand?" situations. They just need to properly market it to the English-speaking gaming press properly.To be honest, I didn't check .

But I believe we're derailing a bit..
how about Altera MAX CPLD ? ie it's internal configuration firmwarethe only thing that seems to be NLA on the CV1000 from the chip lists and photos I can find is the Yamaha sound chip
There's still quantities out there from a number of places according to Octopart. If anything, the Altera Cyclone EP1C12 FPGA is more rare these days (though still available). I'm guessing there's major issues moving legacy code to more modern Altera Cyclone/Max chips?how about Altera MAX CPLD ? ie it's internal configuration firmware
For dumps, yeah, but if you're Cave with the original code, any issues going to a more modern Altera Cyclone/Max for a re-print of the old boards?@randomdoohickey I was talking not about IC availability, but it's configuration firmware, which is programmed in the chip and cant be dumped.
