No, no, no.  Its not ROM as in 'illegally pirated game' its ROM as in 'the base game files from the preproduction phase'  the ROM cartridge I have is an OFFICAL CT ITEM released by Square to stores in Japan for people to play to try out the game.  It's basically the store display model of the game, and it has a TON of really interesting differences from the final cartridge.
It only takes one to misunderstand and go bonkers over a non-issue. The Compendium has had enough of that lately, I'm sure.

Right you are: thankfully CuteLucca explicitly stated that this is something different. Hopefully no one will waltz around thinking that people here are selling anything pirated.

Too true.  I know ROM has multiple meanings this day and age.  Just rest assured, everything is perfectly legal.

You actually think I'd be trying to sell a pirated game cart for $200???
Weird how I never heard this term before. I also never read anything about it in compendium. Anywhere where I can read the differences?

From the description, it sounds like the Pre-release.

Didn't you say in the auction that it's rarer than the pre-release?

I said that the Shonen Jump cartridge is rarer than the prerelease, yes. I have both it and the prerelease cart on Ebay.  Honestly, did you even read the auction listings??

As for the differences between the ROM and the final version, Im not sure if there's a hardware difference (I never cracked open the cartridge to check) but I assume there's at least moderate differences there.  Big differences are in the software of the game itself, but as was posted earlier there's a whole huge section of the Compendium devoted to that.

What an amazing collection--I'm gonna try and gather up some quick cash to buy something.

If I didn't read them, it would be kind of hard for me to say that in the first place, now wouldn't it? >_>


I had simply messed up a little.

^ Oh you're the one who bought the doujinshi collection? I wanted like... one of them lol.

It looks like the auction has turned out very well. Seems like almost everything has already been sold at the "buy it now" price.

The keychains looked really cute. I wanted one of them too! I wish someone would make some more : ).
