This is the guy who takes the guts out of famicom/famiclone games, attaches an adaptor, then sticks them into NES shells.
Bubble Bobble 2 for example

So what do you guys think? Is that all he did, was put the guts of the real game in here?

Does anyone else think he might be printing those high end manuals? I mean hes obviously has the ability to print manuals because hes doing it for his repros. Also hes selling replacement labels.Seems fishy to me that hed have all those expensive manuals.
I wouldn't touch this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Zombie-Nation-Manual-Nintendo-NES-Great-Condition-/201039538512?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2ecee3e950
Or this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNOW-BROTHERS-Original-Instruction-MANUAL-only-for-NES-Nintendo-/201039546855?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2ecee409e7
But this seems to have normal wear (plus some writing): http://www.ebay.com/itm/LITTLE-SAMSON-Nintendo-NES-Manual-Booklet-Only-Good-Condition-/201032505415?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ece789847
As does this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Bonks-Adventure-Nintendo-NES-manual-Only-/191075526792?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c7cfd2888
Seeing the other fake stuff he's selling I'd avoid buying from this guy at all costs, even if the item is real. He obviously has no remorse about putting fake stuff into the market. Who know's what he's done to his seemingly real stuff. Besides, I wouldn't want to support somebody like this.

It's not just that. Look at his Darkwing Duck 2...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Darkwing-Duck-2-Nes-Nintendo-cart-hack-of-Super-Contra-/201040392966?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2ecef0f306
Look at the label. There is no indication on the label that says 'this is a reproduction.'
The seller's Darkwing Duck 2 is actually this...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Darkwing-Duck-2-ULTRA-RARE-Famicom-Cartridge-/261360467694?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cda4c3eee
But how is the next person who buys this cart from someone else going to know that this is actually a famiclone?
Or any other game he's selling with famiclone guts.
Granted, the Bubble Bobble 2 he has sold actually states 'reproduction label.'
Not all of his labels state this though. Mickey Mousecapade for example...

I just don't want to see someone else getting ripped off in the future.

Not sure if it's counterfeit though. Either way, not a fan...
Making a repro of a PAL / Famicom exclusive Game - Okay
Making a repro of a Competition Cartridge - Okay
Making a repro of a ROM Hack - Okay
Making a repro of a Community made game - Borderline Spawn of Satan.
Not to disrespect Sivak, but I would be honored if people felt the need to counterfeit my game.
Edit: Not trying to make another debate thread, just saying it's kinda silly that it's okay for one thing and not okay for another.

Yeah that pretty much sums up the morale around here....
Are you making an exact fake of a released game? Stop now. (F2, SE, etc)
Are you making a fake from a big/bankrupt company that doesn't care? Go for it. (translations, rom hacks, etc)
Are you making a fake from someone small who is still active? Die in a fire. (BK, RCR, etc)

Sivak is still making money from it? I thought he discontinued it for some reason.
Alright, then in that case I'm on board.
It looks like the BK board was just swapped into a gray shell... and I don't see anything wrong with that at all.
I think he is just covering his tracks at this point.
You have to remember this is the dude that makes fake F2s
Also never responds to any of my messages, even if they are friendly chit chat
Pretty sure its even been done already.
We don't allow exact repros.
We don't allow repros of games being sold today brand new.
Don't act like we are not being rational or fair.
