I went to a Gamestop the other day and saw several obvious bootlegs. I mentioned to the Manager that they had several bootlegs and he responded. "Corporate puts new labels on games missing labels." I then told him "its not just the label the carts themselfs aren't official" (they looked just like hobie's the GBA logo was wrong). Then he comes back again and says "they also change the casing."
I feel like reporting that gamestop, what do you guys think? I can understand not knowing you have bootlegs but denying and covering up is another matter.

Definitely complain to corporate. Also report to Nintendo Anti-Piracy line.

Re: Bootleg cart at Gamestop = fail
Since I got the PR&B bootleg, I've paid closer attention to the GBA games. I've seen a bunch more now I'm looking closer at all of them instead of just looking at the titles I'm interested. I doubt reporting them would do any good, but I'd be interested to be proven wrong.
Sounds like that manager was a douchebag though.

To me looks close to real GBA cart. By itself in all honesty, I think including myself most wouldn't' know.
Wondering about the blank area on the PCB for SRAM. Does it still save the games?
