Hi fellas! :D Did you know that the pirate gaming scene for the PS2 is very big here in the beautiful land of Brazil? well it is, and this has made it so brand new bootleg games are made for the platform, stuff like hacked or modded versions of PS2 games like the many GTA mods or the collections of emulated roms, and this is more or less what we got here, this guy sells a lot of bootleg PS2 games that are made by him, and i wanted to show these 2 ones for you guys, Sonic Mania and Sonic Mania 2 for the PS2, they're basically collections of stolen roms, mostly fan made hacks but there are some official games. This might sound like these bootlegs aren't interesting but i assure you, they've got some very notable features like funny looking menus and loading screens and also in Sonic Mania 1 they for some reason added a random openBOR fan game called Mega Sonic, it's pretty funny, specically when played on an actual PS2. But yeah, i bought these and I ripped their ISOs but i just don't know where to go to share these roms, i tried releasing it into the internet archive but none of my uploads work there, if you guys know of any better places for me to release these games please tell. Alright, cheers, lads! ;D

The Brazilian PS2 scene is incredibly unexplored. Most of research on bootleg games focuses on the older consoles, especially since they have more original games.
Do you remember the exact glitch you were experiencing with the Internet Archive?

Depending on the file size, you could use Google Drive or Box.net up upload and share files.

I don't remember what the file size for Mania 2 was, but for Mania 1 it was a whopping 4 gigs, so yeah it makes sense that it would take long to upload but like, i kept my PC running for almost 2 days so it could upload but it always gets stuck somewhere due to some error and then doesn't upload, i could try again to see if this time it works.
As for the google drive, it does work but I'm just not sure where to send this drive link, so I'll just send it right here,

this one's for Sonic Mania 1, It's a little late rn so idk if I have time to get a drive link done for Sonic Mania 2

OH AND I ALMOST FORGOT! i also got a PS2 bootleg game made by the same guy that made this game, it's another emulated rom, the cover art says that it's something called Angry Birds Genesis, with the sega genesis logo, but when you boot it up, it's an NES rom, I'll just throw this one as a bonus when i upload Sonic Mania 2 for you guys, that being said, good night!
