Codebound Game Magazine Review 2024 Lot
In 2024, Two distinct lot of game build, mainly Playstation 1 and Sega Saturn games, were shared to Hard4Games for dumping, potential review and release. Both of the lot were originally coming from discs used by Game Magazine for review, the first lot was sold by his original owner to the Retro Taku Video Games Store and then shared to H4G, the other was acquired by a an individual collector named Jack Jeskey and then shared to H4G. After working on dumping those two lots, everyone involved accepted the idea of getting those builds released to the public and the build were donated to the Codebound group, who then started to release them.
Additionnally, a few WiiU builds for Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, coming from WiiU Discs and buyed from an ebay auction where dumped at the exact same time, and as the group photo were displaying them, Codebound team decided that those prototype will get release at the same time after the builds of this lot.

The 2 files that were not a match in hex were due to the damage in the disc, making slight differences in the files, but they still had the exact same metadata and creation date, and non-damaged part of those files also did matched with retail. |
