NFG EDIT: This thread has been broken by what appears to be a database fault. I'm working on it.
Okay I've been looking at YAJ for a few weeks now and the doujin game market is out of control. My mouth has literally dropped everytime I've seen a game auction end. I got my hands on 2 doujin unreleased games that I plan to release when I get them. (Had a friend help with one of them) Every single undumped doujin game is going for big bucks. The only way for us to get these releases and get them dumped is to do a sort of group fund and have someone bid on it. Prices like $200, $300, $400, $500 is way too much for any one person to pay for a floppy disk. After the game is bought and dumped, it can be resold to someone else and the money from that sale put into the fund again. Would anyone be interested in participating in this?
The prices have been insane of late.
I have two/three unreleased games as well! I'll be releasing them. Some money back from the community would be nice...
YAJ works like Ebay now.
Some sellers rise the prices artificially. Final prices are sometime bizarrely very high .
Yeah, it's pretty bad. I know for a fact BEEP shill bids their things as well because all of their prices go above and beyond the normal prices.
Gentlemen, I would prefer that the accusatory conjecture be kept to a minimum.
There are plenty of reasons prices are going up, we don't need to be casting aspersions.

Oh dear we need to get something going! lol
HAHA! Oh man... I'm wiped out already. We really should get organized. Would a figure of authority on the forum like to establish a fund?
If you guys can hammer out some reasonable rules for the management of this fund I'll happily get behind it.
Ahh so it appears again hehe
Okay I was thinking of this for rules:
1) The holder of the $ will be BlueBMW as he is a person everyone can trust. Send him a PM when you want to send him some money and he'll add it to the fund. (it will be done by Paypal)
2) Bidding will be done by a person in Japan, namely "Rancor" if you guys know him.. He is very trustworthy as he does many bids for many people. MDL from what I understand knows him, and he is known on many forums as well. He does my bids, so I'll ask if he will do this as well.
3) If the item goes over the max we have in the fund, then the $ will go to another unreleased game.
4) If the item is won, it will be sent to be dumped. It will be sent to BlueBMW if that's cool with everyone?
5) When the item is dumped, it will be put up here for sale and the money will be put back into the fund.
6) If you want out of the fund, just give a PM to BlueBMW.
How does that sound?
Works for me. Hopefully we can make something happen here.
Sounds good to me. I'm gonna sell a few things to donate cash.
I'd be more comfortable if Rancor joined us in this thread
Sure, I'll talk to him and get him to post. (When he is online in IRC)
Hey dudes -
I'm the bidder on this deal. I'm not really on any forums aside from shmups:
profile link (http://shmups.system11.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7544)
and I'm usually in the #shmups chat a few hours everyday on EFnet. I don't really play PC games (or anything outside of arcade shmups really), so I probably wont be around here too often unless someone PM's me. I know MDL in real life, and talk to hyperneogeo every few hours it seems. I mostly sell arcade stuff but did sell doujin PC games for a bit. Anyhow, check the feedback on shmups. Username is the same on eBay as well, but I really don't sell anything there anymore.
Just wanted to post to show that I exist. ;D
Sweet! Nice to meet you man
Watched a video of Deadly Edge and decided I will donate a decent amount for this great cause. 8) Can we use paypal to send money?
For others interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ihWNK_1g1Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ihWNK_1g1Y)
Yes you can, give BMW a PM for his paypal address!
This is a great idea. I'm in.
We have $150 CDN so far. I'll contribute at least $50 to start. More if we need it.
I send $ 30.
How much minimum donation ?

No minimum. Just whatever you can :)
Rancor is good people. Usually visits casa Rob when he is in Texas.
Nother $30 in the pot
Ends in 3 days, get those donations in!
I'm trying to sell things but nobody's buying! I'll be listing some 68k stuff today.
Notifying BlueBMW now...
2 days!
17 euros for me! ;D
I put in $100!
Big thanks to everyone who donated so far, we can do this! About a day left!
Hey Rancor, what are the first 3 letters of the yahoo account that you will be using for the bidding? I'm assuming quite a few of us will be anxiously watching the auction when its near the end and want to know who to root for ;D
It will look like this:
lov******** / 評価：129
;)
We are up to $332 in the fund with a few more donations on the way. Hopefully it's enough!
Ending tonight, get your donations in today if you can!
8 hours left or so!
We have $431.57 in the fund right now.
.. And I'm currently the high bidder at ~ $5. ;D
correction, make that $504.09 now hehe
Up to $292 with 40 minutes to go......
Crazy money!
Update:
Still the same at 10 mins, at least our guy is winning :)
Fingers crossed everyone!
Update:
Looks like we won it for $300 ;D

The game was never published on the floppy diskette. Size of game more than a floppy disk, so there was an incomplete version.
Game fit on a floppy disk without the fourth stage. Possible or not install game on two floppy disks, I do not know.
Game was released with source code on this CD.

Yeah, if anyone wants their money returned...let BMW know, if not...we will use the rest to get more undumped games.
Thanks for uploading Angel Dive, gabby32! Works great ;D
Update:
Game was paid for last Friday - should be arriving tomorrow or Wednesday. I'll post pics when it gets here, then it'll be shipped off to CA via Express Mail for Mr. hyperneogeo to work his magic. Hopefully you'll all have your copies early next week. ;D
Yeah it's being sent to me because BMW doesn't have his ripping setup at his house..I just hope it doesn't have protection on it.

Are you going to use Kryoflux USB floppy controller?
I doubt it will have protection. You'll be fine. Try dumping with omniflop, or you can dump direct from x68k using DPACK

No, but if it needs it, I have a few people around here.

Can DPACK dump also protected sector?
I don't know if DPACK can dump a protected disk.
Lookie what showed up in the mail today: 8)

I'll ship it out to hyperneogeo tomorrow morning via EMS. He should have it this weekend.
Okay I got the game and dumped it. A few people suggested I don't post the link here (due to some concerns), but instead....do it another way..so go on efnet #x68000 and get it there.
Sweeet. Thanks man!
It's interesting to note, it mentions a CD Music mode in the manual / game itself. I haven't seen a CD included with any of the auctions though.
First of all thanks to all people involved in this wonderful release!
I installed it through its installer on a SASI HHD image and I posted a download link on #x68000 IRC channel.
P.S.
Game requires 4MB of RAM when installed and 2MB when launched from FDD.
Great news!
Never used efnet, don't even know what it is to be honest.
I did donate to the fund, and wondered if someone could help me grab the game dump?

Check my private message.
PS: Thanks for the dump!

Thanks for helping him!
We still have about $150 to put towards the next game unless someone wants part of their donation refunded.
Does anyone know what software I need to restore these to floppies from an actual X68000? I tried MKIMG.X but it complained about the filesize. Thanks for dumping!
Try Omniflop

Deadly Edge disk images have wrong size (though they work fine), this was due the dumping process I presume.The disk images have 16KB more which take the size of the file to 1.277.952 bytes instead of 1.261.568 bytes so they are not recognized by emulators and programs like MKIMG.X.SO you have to cut the exceeding bytes to restore the original size.I have done this, if you give me permission I can post the right disk image here.

Ok fixed that. Omiflop saw the disk as a 78 track disk, but I guess it's a 77 track game. Same link on IRC.
Since I'm going to release here an updated Eidis Mini HDD image, I'd want to know if it would be possible to include also Deadly Edge.
Anyone notice an issue in Deadly Edge when playing hard/god difficulty that sometimes your ship will spawn left of the screen and be stuck there/invisible? Happened to me on every play-through in those difficulties. Also, is the Midi music supposed to cut out after a certain time in boss battles? It didn't seem to repeat the track.
Could you dump the game using dpack, hyperneogeo?

Yes, I had the issue of the ship being invisible me too.I think it's a bug.
Hi,
Is the game available in XDF format ?
And of course how to get the game ^^
The download link is available on channel #x68000 on EFNet server, use mIRC or other IRC client to reach it.
Here's the music.
Songs that are labelled Fnn are for FM and songs labelled Snn are for SC88. Songs can be played from command line or from MMDSP. Playback requires that the ZPD is loaded as shown below. When you're done, you can run the bottom command to unload the ZMusic driver and free the PCM from memory.
demus.zip (https://www.sendspace.com/file/c80g6o)
Load PCM to ZMusic:
zmsc -t100 -bD_E.ZPD
Play song:
mzp dead_Xnn.zmd
Unload ZMusic:
zmsc -r

Sorry about that. The thread is now fixed. Carry on.
Hey guys, so I decided to do a sort of service. I will backup the game onto 2x 5.25 disks for anyone that can't put it on their X68k/Doesn't have a drive for $1 plus shipping to them. These are used disks, but work fine. If anyone wants this service please PM me. All proceeds will go back into the fund.
Our new targets:

As for the original disk, it will be sold and the $ put back into the fund.
