    I find it funny that cheap, easy-to-find pirate cartridges can end up rare, expensive, and highly sought after.
    But seriously, reproductions are easy to make.

    God I want those cartridges so bad! These pirate carts alone make the history of Sonic 2 more interesting, what was the game originally intended to be like? These carts are evidence of all that. I consider these carts the Holy Grail of the Genesis/Mega Drive library.

      Ive asked this guy I know who makes reproductions of games for nes, snes, and genesis games and he said he could definitely make a reproduction of these. Because the rom is online and he can use it. He said he would start producing them soon, you can find his site here www.ocdreproductions.com/

      These aren't real Sega carts. When the Simon Wai prototype was stolen the ROM was dumped onto pirate carts like the one seen in this video by unofficial distributors in Asia and passed off as the final game. They're no "Holy Grail" at all, they're practically worthless.

      These were mass produced in factories across china, hong kong and brazil in the early 90's. It's the same thing.
      This isn't the cart that the original beta code came from. It's simply a pirate cart from the era, and is worth no more than one made now.
      You can still find these carts on the Brazilian version of eBay to this day.
      These are pirate carts. Nowadays, we call them "repro carts" for some reason. The only difference between this and "repro" versions is the date of creation and the art. Please stop implying these have any real value.

    This is indeed the Wai prototype. I have not found any noteworthy changes yet, however it may be possible it could have some different bytes in the game code. Still need to dump these sometime, as my transfer cable doesn't seem to work even with the right settings.

    Also the slower music is because its an NTSC Cart being played on a PAL MegaDrive and it hasnt been optimized for 50hz just like the 1st Sonic The Hedgehog game.

    • @Wobbothe3rd

    These cartridges are very cool I would love to get my hands on one of them despite it being a pirated version because it still the beta of Sonic 2 working on a Genesis when u get down to it.. but of you want to know of ultra rare cartridges the Nintendo 64 dd blue cartridges are super hard. Basically a retail version of the N64 DD was found and was one that would have been sold in us retail but due to the console failing in Japan the canncled them last minute. Those cartridges are being sold on ebay for $2000. Any beta cartridge of anything has a price that people will pay for to get it.

Yes, recent reproduction cartridges exists (albeit still quite uncommon) but the first generation of these pirate cartridges are extremely rare. Good luck to all those currently on the hunt. Took me a lot of perseverence to find mine.

    Hello.
    I am very interested in Sonic 2 beta and pirates of the game. I would be very interested to purchase those carts. How much would it be? Thank you.
    Edit: I can make repros for cheap now... Thanks John Riggs!

    Hi TheSonic2Beta,
    Firstly, what a collection. I am very envious. I was just curious to know if you would have any spares you'd be willing to sell, especially any of the pirated prototype casts. I would be very interested if so. Thank you and all the best.

    Oh, and before you talk shit, these carts were a dime a dozen in asia in the early to mid 90's. The only difference between this and "repro" versions is the date of creation and the art. The data was burned to blank carts by pirates back then, too. It's not like this is the exact cart stolen either, simply a reproduction from the 90's using the same data~
    No one cares about the fact that Andre used to own them anymore.

      So? It's still a relic since these were made before Sonic 2 came out, and are also the reason the Rom got dumped online.

    Why are you talking like those carts are a big deal? They're pirate carts, which means everyone could make their own and it'd be the same thing! If you had original prototype cartridges from Sega then yes, it'd be a big deal, but those... Are nothing!

    Its not the same version as the Spanish Proto video. Simple as that mate. This is the Wai Proto and im sure the poster of this video will agree with me. Its the exact same Pirated BETA cart which was being sold in 1992 as the full product.
