Backup game but pressed like original

Post#1 » Wed Sep 06, 2023 2:07 am

Hi , I just found this oddity on eBay. As you can see is a copy of worldwide soccer but it's pressed like an original game , not a burned disc . Have you ever found something like this?

How do you know it's pressed?

I had CDR's back in the day that were like this. Didn't have many of them but they existed.

this is how the original GD-ROM disk looks like, it has a ring between the low and high density area

You can see it's pressed cause it's silver and has something written on the most inside ring . I never seen silver cdr like this , and I had blue ones , black , intense green and gold . This is also not showing any written area . I know about the original ring between the low and high density area, but here is not present. So maybe someone back in the days were pressing dreamcast backups

These maybe the games that were "released" in Russia back in the day?

I've a CDR next to me right now with text where that text is so that doesn't mean much.

Either way, it's not outwith the possibility that someone pressed a few hundred of these somewhere. Esp after images became selfboot.

I have several pressed pirated CDs:

They have the name of the game engraved on the disc.

It's a bootleg. There are cd burners that you can print images on top of the disc at home. That is clearly what this is.
