Since, when i was 8 years old, i got a dynavision in xmas, i really liked, the RESCUE Kuck game, you played that something looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, also they got alot of consoles that where announced at RedeTV on morning, i really liked collecting these games, when later, when internet was released on brazil, we could search for your favorite games, and emualators, so just after a research, i discovered that everything has a lie, dynacom is not official, is a semi-licensed company that makes clones of Mega drive, famicom, nes etc. in 2011 they made they last console, the Dynavision Cybergame, it's a console that runs NES,SNES,GB,GBC,GBA,MEGADRIVE,SEGA MASTER SYSTEM, and videos, photos. i really liked. after that i discovered about another company that makes the same thing that dynacom does, like Dendy.

I had that same disappointment too, but in my country I was residing, there were no advertisments of video games and such. You are luckier in that sense that you still have the small freedom to get modern consoles back in the 90s.
Here in SE Asia, being all the stereotypical "Asian" models, we are supposed to grind on books, play the violin/piano and video games are "illegal" in households. :) :lol: [/quote]Yep, videogames are so overpriced here, because the govern considere them, has ''illegal games'' :shock:
Also, we brazilians only discovered the NES in 1997, when nintendo finally came, and brought SNES, NINTENDO 64 GAMEBOY, Etc.
And later came playstation, and xbox, and another modern console we got now.
But only in brazil, you can buy a playstation 4 for $4000. :faint:
also got in a magazine.

But I've been hearing that you guys have the Xbox360 more than the PS3, right? :)

I got a JTAG Xbox 360, and another Xbox 360 with LT 3.0 .
Also the games are so overpriced, $230 Each Xbox 360 games :O
so we can hack this xbox and buy pirated copy's and you can just pay $5 each game. cool:
and, also most of the things here is pirated. I was on a shopping and got a guy selling a PSP-Famiclone, and a Hacked PSP, with emulators and 20 PSP games. :)

Xbox1 and PS4 games are damn expensive here too. I had to wait until they have these in used prices. :)

The JTAG/RGH-ed games are sometimes a pain to work with especially with the uh, "Title Updates". Sometimes my friends have to mess around with the files just to get the DLC working.
In other story, I read about someone who bought a cheap handheld, tore out the ROM, dump it, modify the ROM and glue it back into the system: OneStation ROM dumping. (http://mozy.org/16bit/onestation/)
Also, i am trying to find ROMS, to the dynavision multicarts, but still today i haven't founded yet. looks like this catridges.

One of my friends played a lot of games. That including a mountain of those small Famicom carts. One of the games was a beat-em-up. I saw the fighters' names "Moon" and "Cliff". Dunno what was the game at all, I believe it's another bootleg too.[/quote]Sounds like Street Fighter IV - http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Street_Fighter_IV (http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Street_Fighter_IV)
oh and to answer your question - I'm in the UK and bootleg stuff has never really been mainstream here, I think my first encounter was when I was about 9 or so and one of my classmates brought in a Gameboy multicart they bought on holiday - at the time I totally believed Nintendo's line about unlicensed products and how they can damage your system and whatnot, so I was a little wary of it :D
occasionally game magazines ran a feature on them, eg this one (http://hhug.me/?post=14), but I only really became interested in them when I got internet access around 1998 or so and found out a little more about the scale of what was out there - I found a site called the Nintendo Information Repository that had 100s of pictures of random pirate carts (mostly stuff I'd probably consider boring/generic today) and it totally fascinated me. Around the same time I discovered NES emulation and downloaded Somari amongst more official stuff (including Street Fighter 2010, because I'd heard of bootleg Street Fighter II ports existing and assumed that would be one of them..)

Those multi-cart or bootleg hastily packed PS1 CDs had their last-est moment at the late 1999 (that's my limited guess - if anyone from Singapore could confirm this!).[/quote]That time seems about right. I used to buy lots of PS1 silvers from Malaysia and Singapore around 96/97 and by 99 they had dropped off a lot. Some of it was legal, others because CD-R's became much cheaper for people to buy. My first CD burner I bought in 97 cost $500 USD and blank discs were $3-5 USD each so it was obviously much cheaper just to buy PS1 bootlegs than copy your own.
Later the PS2 silvers sold a lot for the same reason, nobody could afford a DVD writer at the time. Once they dropped in price and broadband internet took off that basically killed factory PS2 (and DVD) pirating.
I always thought it was funny that pressed disc pirates were not killed by software security measures or government/legal things, but by end users being too cheap to even pay $2 USD for their copied product. When given the choice to pay $50, $5, or $0 for a game/movie people tend to choose $0
I remember a couple of my mates at school used to own some Pokémon bootlegs, but I didn't get into them proper until I stumbled on a bunch of Sonic bootlegs while looking up info on the beta versions of the old school legit games. (I was a bigger fan of the series back in 2006 than I am now, you can blame Sonic 06 for that one)
I remember playing Somari out of interest, immediately regretting it because it sucks, and then having a bile fascination for bootlegs until I ended up playing some that were actually decent and getting a revised opinion on them as a whole. Then once I started getting my own money I decided I wanted to get some of them so I can play them off my TV and have a more authentic experience. ;)
Actually, I might have had a chipped PS1 back in the day, but I don't remember using that for anything other than cheat devices.
When I was in high school, I discovered NES World and tsr's NES Archives, among other pages, and thus became entangled in the weird and wacky world of bootleg games. I collected NES games for around 10 years, then quit and sold everything off, as college moved into my life and gaming moved out.
When I moved a few years back, I ended up having my interest creep back into me. I had gone to a shop and found a couple old Gowin GB B/W games for sale, and passed them up...I then went home and saw what they really were, and went back and grabbed them. From that point, I was hooked.
what makes me enter in the world of bootleg? Nice question.
Well, as a retro gamer i used to play and see a lot of games in the 90's, from NES' clones to SNES' multicart. Also, my family wasn't used to waste money in last-gen consoles and things like that so until i had a ps1, my SNES was my biggest treasure.
Six years ago i decided to return to collecting videogames, specially fighters and very specially all the Street Fighter games, official or unlicensed, from xbox 360 to good ol' famicom carts. Begin also an avid reader makes me want to know more and more... and that was how i ended here. :)
