    I've seen a lot of these types of things on eBay for the dreamcast

    Wow, someone actually bought that.

    Pathetic?



    For a cheap knock-off bootleg, I think it has it's charm. I would actually love to own one... not at 50 bucks though. :\

    It doesn't actually say "XBOX" on the game disc or case as far as I can tell, though it's obviously XBOX style and the seller claims to have tested it.

    You've just gotta love those Xgame games.

    LOL! Considering it's PC origins, I'm genuinely surprised that it was never cloned. Guess history doesn't always repeat itself (IBM PC BIOS was unofficially clones by Compaq and others to enable the entire IBM PC clone market).



    Heck, despite a huge bounty for it, no one ever even made unofficial discs for the XBOX that worked on unmodified consoles! Either the seller is full of it when he claims to have tested it or he neglected to mention that it requires a modded XBOX. The later drive mods from The Specialist probably won't work with this either since the disc still had to be signed.

    It doesn't even look like this person tried to make this look like a legit knock off. It's got Mario 64 on the cover, Mario Party splash art on the back left and screen shots of Mario Sunshine.

    Playing mario 64 on xbox without emulating is impressive in its own right.

    No confirmation that it's even an XBOX game unless you trust the seller's iffy description. Even then, I personally guarantee that it isn't running natively on an XBOX! If it runs natively on anything, that would be an N64 by way of a Dr. V64, CD64, or PlayStation connected to a V64(jr) through a PSXchanger!

    Don't forget that it's a "very hard to find homebrew disc" and a "gem"! How could anyone say no?

    It'd be hilarious if it only ran on modded consoles(the only way to get the system to recognize anything that isn't a legit game/CD/DVD), and whoever made it forgot about that.

    I know in Russia they had PSX bootlegs that from what I know actually did run without modification, although I'm not sure if that's the case with all of them. They had black discs, but I had black CD-Rs from Memorex once upon a time. It's just that some had the signature element to boot without a chip.

    I kind of want to see more about this actually. Sure, it's probably just a burn of Mario 64, but, knowing how odd the bootleg market is, it could be something really unique and out there.

    LMAO, with pictures of Sunshine on the back. Claims to have Mariokart 64 also AND the kicker being that it's "temperamental" and may take several tries to load. This obviously means that it's junk and when you the buyer can't get it to load it's on them lol.

    I'm curious to what the disc actually contains. I have some of the Mario Bootlegs for genesis that are from Russia



    Mario 64 for genesis is actually Super mario world.



    Super Mario World is and entirely different game With mario characters.



    Mario 2 which is a port of Mario 1 from lost levels



    I have a Mario 3 that is also not Mario 3. Like the genesis Mario worlds its own unique game.

    If it played on an unmodded Xbox I'd totally pick up a weird pirate Mario 64 for $10. $50 for pirate anything is silly.

    I used to own a pirate game that was temperamental on an unmodded system. Granted, it was a Dreamcast and it was probably burned wrong (no scratches on the disc that icr), but it would load up once every blue moon.



    Of course, that was a Dreamcast. lol XBOXs are different, so I don't think you can get a game like that to run without some sort of mod.



    Again, the price kills the novelty, especially since it has very questionable workability. With the money (Plus maybe a little more), you're better off getting the real deal.
