However, I question even no whether or not such a shady beginning has helped or hindered the progress of emulating and ROM dumping these.<\/p>\n<p>Pachuka&#8217;s now on the site called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.x-cult.org\/\">X-Cult.<\/a> I post there once in a while for the sake of my ideals of educating about the Satellaview, but I hope I don&#8217;t have to have involvement in any such shady business. I generally prefer bonds of trust&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve been unable to ascertain what exactly these ROMs were, but flash forward to now and we have ROMs being dumped by the likes of no-intro members and such.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully at some point I can make a good DAT documenting the ROM dumpers of certain games. Assuming they don&#8217;t want anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>PS. While I can&#8217;t say for certainty whether everything Pach did was wrong, I will say that he really should&#8217;ve tried to understand what he was taking when he got these Satellaview ROMs &#8211; Being in contact with him quite a bit gives me the impression he really hardly knows much about the very games he allegedly stole. \ud83d\ude41<br \/>\nHopefully I can at least prevent something like that.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-5308582010420588\";\n\/* Sega Pico (Banner) *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"4040450529\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Figured I&#8217;d make a post about this to fill up some time.
