It seems that games are dumped as soon as they come out. What is wrong with people?

That didn't take long at all. Guess people aren't going to give Playmore any time at all to get back on their feet before they starting ROM serving. Sadly this won't help the company at all...
BUT...Playmore sorta of brought it on themselves by using the MVS. It doesn't justify the ROM piracy, but they can't be shocked that it's happening (And this shows need to move to new arcade hardware, quickly).

The roms are by Billyjr and Mr Lee, the same guys that released the kof2k1 roms.
It seems that according to them, official KOF2k1 carts only sold 500 units in total worldwide, while the bootleggers got most of the sales. That was his rationale in releasing the kof2k1 roms, since the bootleggers were actually making a ton off kof2k1, while SNK gets negligible profits.
They're saying that they'll get the roms out soon because the pirates have started producing MS4 boards already, and he's looking to decrease their profits...
None of this is my opinion btw, before anyone directs stuff at me...

I am a little bit angry... not at the dumpers but at Playmore themselves.
I went to an arcade here (in Texas) and went to play the new KOF2k1 they had there, only to learn that they have a bootleg installed alongside legit versions of 2K and 98! This pisses me off so much, since not only did I have to do without Yuri's uber-kawaii voice, but that they actually had to resort to getting a bootleg because of playmore's piss-poor distribution system, which IMHO is far worse than SNK's. I guess Playmore got what was coming to them...

Cripes, MS4 already? That's really disturbing, especially considering that the game only came out in recent weeks in Japan too.

ARGH....!!
Sure its more money to pay to use a better board but theyll actually make some, if they dont hurry up and get off of mvs as soon as they can. Since there seems to be no buffer time between the dumps and releases of new games anymore... they can only dig themselves in a brand new hole if they continue to make games using those same cartridges. Hope they can at least Get some money from somewhere to get off of MVS.

I don't see why anyone's suprised. Just about every single neogeo game is dumped as soon as possible (wheather that be on release, or whenever they managed to get around the encryption). The KOF2k1 rom has been dumped for a number of weeks now (donations were requested for the roms' release upon its dump), but has only just recently been released. As far as i hear, (and can make out from crappy translations) the MS4 roms aren't to be released any time soon, unless you send the dollars (something i hope none of you are stupid enough to do). So all you "roms kill game companies" people shouldnt start to fret just yet.

The roms are estimated to be released to registered users in 5 days. And the users are free to spread the roms as they like.

It seems I might have made a mistake. You should have looked at the www.billyjr.com front page on the days following the kof2k1 roms were released and the day that the ms4 page was made. There was a lot of things happening there. A lot of the stuff has been deleted since though....
It seems ironic that 'kenchen' made the page saying that he'd release the roms, a day after Mr Lee said that he'd dump the MS4 roms and release it as soon as possible. Billyjr claims to not know who this 'kenchen' guy is though...

Eh?
Dag nab it! I want to play this right now! I was hoping Sunnyvale Golfland would get it right away, but no! Oh and why did they take out Moero! JG? People are picky now these days.
Thank goodness there's still Waku Waku 7 and Dodgeball. Oh and I'm glad there's Para Para Paradise 2nd mix. There's one in Milpitas, but management and I got into a fight there. Since then, I now go to the one in Sunnyvale.
Must play Metal Slug IV now dag nab it!
