[help] Castlevania Double Pack GBA Fake?

[emwearz]

The back of Dreamcast discs say something like "Produced by or under supervision of SEGA".

The whole back of the disc is an instant tell, the front...not so much.

What happens in 50 years when we have molecular 3D printers and can print exact copies of things down to the atom?

Here's a legitimate question. What's to stop bootleggers from selling disc only copies of rare games, like Panzer Dragoon Saga, or Cannon Spike?

As noted, one can tell from stuff in the center ring, especially for game console media that often has special stuff there. Bootleg audio CDs and DVDs can sometimes be harder to tell if you don't have a real one, or at least something from the same company handy to compare.

Also, seen that seller's stuff before. Screw that guy. It'd be one slightly shady thing to make discs that looked nice, but different a bit like custom covers, but that's less about making your burn for an expensive game look nice and more about someone getting screwed that doesn't pay close enough attention or doesn't know better down the line.

Do you understand just how awesome that sounds?

We'll have bigger problems than a fake Castlevania game.

How will anyone tell they've got a legit copy of Ballz?

Back on that speculation though, if someone could make a star trek tng like matter replicator I'd welcome it. It would be the downfall of a good chunk of the monetary system because you could just replicate a meal, clothes, a good vintage drink, or the formerly grossly expensive video game and system it played on in an instant. Anyone could have what they wanted, and then just the sharks would be able to shark each other with their claims of 'original stuff' with the scans to prove it.

It would still need raw materials and power though, transforming matter and all that. So there'd still be trade in that and some form of currency as well.

Hmm hadn't thought that deeply into it. I just thought of the old description from ST TNG where if you have the schematic on file it just replicates junk out of nothing because the pattern emitter just made tangible stuff out of a molecular schematic basically. If you actually had to feed the replicator something to get something then yes cash would be involved there to get that stuff one way or another.
