and load it on another unit to play again. You can even save it into
the SRAM of a cartridge and re-load it anytime straight from cartridge

real-time save and an included utility for you IBM/PC!

10.SUPER SLOW MOTION frame by frame advance. 4 levels of slow-motion for

12.OTHER dealers say no, but we say YES, the SWC-DX has a SELF-TEST func-
tion which enables you to test each and every part of you SWC-DX incl-
uding DRAM/SRAM/DISKDRIVE/ETC. You'll know what the cause is, should
you have problems.

13.BUILT IN GAME AND DEMO - Before you get your first game/demo, try out
the ones that are built in.

14.BUILT IN .PCX picture viewer. You can create a slideshow, or just dis-
play one picture at a time, WITHOUT the use of a computer.

15.SWC-DX has FILE EDITING capabilities. Examine the inner workings of
your games. GREAT for budding programmers/developers!!!

button pressing.

17.NTSC / PAL Support. Adjust the jumpers or insert a cartridge.

18.BUILT IN I/O (COM) port for Computer<->SWC-DX transfer. This is STAND-
ARD on ALL machines from FFE. Why pay $30 - $60 dollars for something
that SHOULD and CAN be built in.

19.OPTIONAL DSP CAPABILITIES - You can purchase a DSP1 cartridge and play
the DSP1 games (Mario Kart, Suzuka8Hours, LockON, Etc..)

20.OPTIONAL Internal/External Power Supply. Your Snes can power the SWC-

Sorry to be replying to such a wide crosspost, but this IS legal. It is
legal to buy. It is legal to own. It is legal to sell. It is legal to
use, but NOT ON COPYRIGHTED GAMES! Of course, there are a few of us who
bend the laws a little, or would if we could. I'm also not sure if the
only illegal thing would be selling your copies...

Remember, A-ko spelled backwards is Ok-a! But Bob spelled backwards is
still Bob. However, Ryoga spelled backwards is Agoyr. Now I'm confused...

They have legal uses:
1)To copy your own games for backupt
2)To try developing your own games
3)to directly modify the game code without a Game Genie-type device.

These are the illegal uses:
1)To give away or sell the copies.
2)To give away or sell the original and keep the copy.

Happy, dumbass?

Let us all add the Great KI_MAN to our killfiles so no one will have to listen to
this annoying little bitch!

Do you want to make more money?
For all you who want to copy this letter and follow the instructions. I made
$51,000 in about a month and a half. I am not kidding.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
READ THIS AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VERY
GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!

I REALLY THINK YOU'LL LIKE THIS!!!---In the time it will take you to think
up some negative response to this mailing/posting you could've read the
below opportunity and common sense will have dictated what good fortune
this message is attempting to share with you. I previously responded to a
similar opportunity and have since then reaped in over $51,000 from my
meager $5 (+ $1.60 [5 x .32] postage). I used to think these kinds of
(junk mail) "opportunities" were lame scams that wouldn't work but figured
it was worth the $5 gamble (certainly cheaper than Vegas or Atlantic
City!!). And if MY skepticism saw the logic, so will others'. Weeks
later I continued to be overwhelmed with letters full of $$$! The NET is
a logical medium in which to share this good fortune with others who share
a common bond with you and me (Computer BBS/Networks) and those
intelligent enough to realize its potential. I've been eternally grateful
to the person who had the insight of presenting this opportunity to me.
The rewards have made it possible for me to pursue the things I had always
wanted to do but didn't have the time nor money to realize. I have also
paid off most of my debts, including student loans and credit cards. For
this reason I hope you'll understand why I feel so compelled to want to
return that favor by sharing my joy with others. Of course it shouldn't
hurt to admit that the envelopes of cash have since waned and I wouldn't
mind making a second run of it (hey, if it's good, it's good)! Once
you've experienced YOUR good fortune you too will understand the need to
want to continue to share this great program! Blessings...

--A Very Grateful Participant

***FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW EXACTLY!!***
(and within 8 weeks you too will have received $50K CASH! Or
MORE!)

1) ADDRESS FIVE (5) ENVELOPES with the name and address of the first
5 "Mailing List Brokers" listed below (#'s 1-5).
--Do NOT attempt to cheat - you will only cheat yourself.

2) INSERT A $1 BILL (CASH ONLY) INTO EACH ENVELOPE along with a note
that reads, "Please put my name and address into your Mailing List" (Make
sure you write legibly your name and address)
-- This step is important since you are providing payment for a
legitimate service that you are requesting. (See bottom details)

3) SEAL ENVELOPES, APPLY POSTAGE & MAIL - Be sure you have enclosed:
a. Your Name & Address, b. Your request, c. $1 bill (cash)

4) DELETE THE TOP (1st) NAME ON THE LIST BELOW & RENUMBER the other 7
names by moving each name up one position (i.e., the second name is now
#1, third is #2, etc.,...). Type your name and address as the last (8th)
name on the list.
-- Don't cheat here; Although payment goes only to the first 5 names,
having your name last gives the "multi-level" distribution process a
chance to achieve an exponential advantage for you while your name hits
each pay level on ALL the mass redistributed mailings/postings (instead of
just the few initial postings/mailings. Remember the top names get
deleted at each progression).

5) COPY this ENTIRE message (with your name at the bottom of the
list) and UPLOAD it onto 10+ different bulletin boards, E-MAIL it to
others and/or MASS-MAIL hard copies to a list of "Opportunity Seekers".
Use an interesting title in the file's Description/Subject, if posting,
that will get the readers' attention so that they too can benefit (and in
turn benefit us all).

6) Within the next few weeks you should get a larger mailbox in order
to accommodate the massive overflow of mailed responses you will be
receiving, which as each step progresses grows exponentially into
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS (expect >$50,000.00 in CASH)!

7) LOG & SAVE THE NAME & ADDRESS OF EACH of your responses.
You are being paid ($1.00) to perform this service. This list
will not only provide evidence of the legitimacy of your business but you
can also get additional income from providing that information to a
mailing list broker you may find in the yellow pages. The legalities of
this service are discussed in Title 18, Sections 1302 & 1341 of the Postal
Lottery Laws for your reference. Following this plan exactly conforms
with those guidelines.

By posting/mailing (advertising) this notice to others you'll effectively
be in the mail order business. This goes along with all the other
benefits that come with running business from your home (like tax
advantages). Advertising & Mail Order are perfectly respectably
industries which you should feel proud to be a part of, especially once
you experience the tremendous wealth you are helping yourself and OTHERS
obtain simply by making the relatively easy efforts of passing along this
opportunity.

A key to success in any business which deals with other people is to
conduct that business HONORABLY, using ethical judgment and values. When
you give others the degree of respect and honor you would come to expect
for yourself, then it is returned TENFOLD. That is what the concept of
this plan depends upon, it is imperative and vital that you respect its
integrity if you expect to reap its rewards!

I sincerely believe that my own success directly correlates to the fact
that I participated in this program HONESTLY by following the plan exactly
and paying each of the first 5 names their due. There are security
measures built into this plan that account for each participant's
integrity and your results will be measured reciprocally. If you are in
it for mere selfish motives, it will be manifested in your results. There
are LOTS of HONEST PEOPLE out there! And if you're one too then here's
your ticket to financial independence. There's no need to apologize for
being ambitious, provided you're also honest and sincere.


MAILING LIST BROKERS (Remove #1, Add name to bottom; Renumber)

Can everyone PLEASE not post a bunch of crap about SNES on a clearly
labeled ARCADE group!! If someone wants to read about SNES disk drives they
will go to rec.games.video.snes. Especially do not need the legality crap!
So shut up all a' you! (No specific offense to the writer of this post,
just the last in the string but you are included. :) )

I am assuming that the "What happened, couldn't afford it?" remark meant that
KI_MAN did not make a purchase. My god, you must be under the assumption
that you have exclusive rights to SWCDX! There are many retailers who offer
this product. For all you know, he may be a competitor requesting a price
list for comparison, or he may have bought it from elsewhere. If I request a
price list from you and I don't make a purchase, does that mean that I can't
afford it?!?

How do you expect to win any customers if you insult them before they even
buy anything? What do you do to them after they buy something? Insult their
mother?

About cross-posting: Cross-posting is meant for articles which are relevant
to multiple newsgroups. You are selling SWCDX, which is a SNES videogame
cartridge copier, yet you posted to:
rec.games.video.sega
rec.games.video.arcade
rec.games.video.advocacy
bit.listserv.games-l

None of these newsgroups are appropriate.

When you cross-post, you should set the Followup-To: tag appropriately, as I
have above.

Lawrence

no lawrence, but when someone asks for a price, then turns around and

dealer, what dealer in his/her right mind would say that a product that
they sell "sucks"

KI_MAN never "asked for a price, then turned around and said they suck." Read
what he said (above).

No matter what the case may be, you should not have been disrespectful to a
potential customer, especially in a public forum. IMO, of course.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Let me rephrase what you just said:
"What dealer (Shawn Mayo) in his/her right mind would say that a product that
they sell 'sucks'?" Doesn't that put your credibility at risk?

You don't sell another SNES videogame cartridge copier besides the SWCDX.
Thus, by your argument above, you would not say that it sucks, and will never
disclose its flaws and shortcomings.

You have every right to sell the products as you wish. It is when you slander
other outstanding products (GDSF7) because you don't sell it that gets me
riled up.

I was not aware that you see the SMD.

Nontheless, the other newsgroups were inappropriate:
rec.games.video.arcade, rec.games.video.advocacy, etc.

If you really have GDSF7 in the closet (doubtful), I will buy it from you.

>that sucks when i feel that that's the case. if i liked the product, i
>would be selling it. i don't like it, so i'm not going to sell a system

Maybe, maybe not. In order to sell a product, you must stock it. Look at it
from my perspective. I currently stock 7 different brands: DPFX, GDSF7,
PFXT, SP, SSC, SUFO Pro.7, and SWCDX. Let's assume for a moment that at any
given time, I stock 10 units of each brand, for a total of 70 units. This
requires extensive capitalization, and that's not something a lot of small
companies can handle. Add to that the hassle of conducting transactions with
5 different companies for the 7 brands (including the hassles of overseas
transactions, such as money transfer issues, etc.), the difficulty in even
getting some of the companies to deal with you without a local liason, and I
suspect that it is probably easier for you to just deride a product
regardless of how it actually performs. That way, it simplifies your life;
you deal with 1 manufacturer and your business requires less capitalization,
at the same time doing a great disservice to your customers who may have
benefited from other brands' unique features, many of which are not available
on SWCDX. You also would not have to provide for service on a wide variety
of different brands, which simplifies your business.

There is nothing wrong with business simplicity usually, but when it comes at
the customer's expense, I consider that unacceptable.

In summary, I suspect that you have external motivations other than that it
is the best for selling SWCDX and only SWCDX.

I suspect this to be true given that the manufacturer of SWCDX is most
friendly to overseas distributors, more so than the other manufacturers; this
is the primary reason why SWCDX is one of the most popular brands
exported from Asia, outside where it has little competition, yet still do
relatively poorly in its native Asian markets, against intense competition,
where currently GDSF is king.

When consumers have a choice, the best brand is the THE BEST brand, with the
most features at the lowest price.
When consumers don't have a choice, the best brand is the only brand.

What you sell is not always up to you. I would like to see you sell a CCL
product (very difficult to arrange). When that is the case, it is so much
easier to say (regardless of whether it is true or not)...

>what they don't feel is worth the chips they are printed on.

...rather than admit that the system may be better for some people but that
you don't sell it (true).

Don't misunderstand me. I don't think you are a jerk because you endorse
SWCDX. There are other SWCDX dealers who conduct themselves with plenty of
dignity, such as Peter Mui (rat...@panix.com). I think you are a jerk
because you:
slander brands that you don't sell without giving sufficient reasons why
(GDSF7 - "Speaking of crap..." - Shawn Mayo (that's you))
insult potential customers, on a public forum
(KI_MAN - "What's the matter, can't afford it?" - Shawn Mayo (that's you))

I do not think you are a jerk because you are a competitor. In fact, I
ignored your initial 2 articles falsely deriding GDSF7 (see article by Shiu
Cheuk. "Speaking of crap, are you a dealer?" - Shawn Mayo (that's you)). But
your continued UN-SUPPORTED negative comments about the GDSF7 is unjustified.

I rather see this whole matter dropped. Keep in mind that negative criticism
is welcomed, with supporting evidence. Negative criticism without supporting
evidence is just noise...

BTW, I never called Shawn Mayo a jerk. I don't want a misunderstanding here.
There was a thread in r.g.v.marketplace titled "Shawn Mayo(copier dealer) is
a jerk" but I have nothing to do with that.

Thanks.

Once again, you have failed to grasp the point.

I never said that it is better for a business to sell units that are inferior

just to say "it" has more. That is simply unacceptable. GDSF7 is NOT
inferior to SWCDX. You have failed to offer ANY evidence why you feel that
way. Your bias, there for the sake of simplifying your business at the

we would be comparing references.

This is about "Lawrence Chiu vs. Shawn Mayo's misinformation-about-products-he-

>i carry the super magic drive and did sell the pro fighter series when

The Pro Fighter series is still on the market. Only, you can't get them
anymore without a local liason. The Super Magic Drive is not a current CCL
product. If it is CCL's, you are selling discontinued, substandard
merchandise.

GDSF7 stand for? Can you guys (L.C. or S.M) post info on

Shawn, do you have trouble with reading comprehension?

I never said the GDSF7 is a better unit than SWCDX. I do not believe SWCDX is
a better unit than a GDSF7. The two, along with the other brands that I sell,
are simply *different*, with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. The
best unit for the customer depends on each customer's unique situation.

Read what I wrote, before you follow up. Geez.

Yes, you did do that. What you also did previous to that, was falsely
claimed GDSF7 was "crap" ("Speaking of crap..." - Shawn Mayo (that's you)),
which is false and prompted by the fact that you only sell a single brand of
videogame cartridge copier (SWCDX - big surprise there). THAT IS WHY WE ARE
HAVING THIS DISCUSSION. If the only article you posted was a mere comparison
made fairly and with little bias, then I wouldn't be wasting my time writing
this very article.

I do not have a review file on SWCDX at this time. It is currently under
construction; however, as many people on the net will point out to you, I have
sold SWCDX since its introduction in 11/94 and thus have extensive experience
with them. The review file on SWCDX will be posted next Monday and will be
a fair, unbiased review (to the best of my ability).

Did you guys buy these things in HK? Why are you (Lawrence Chiu) so desperate
to sell them (I'm not against them, I own a GDSF6).

I have to agree with the fact that it is personal preference on which one
of these machines one should buy but that is no excuse to start arguing.

Anyway, the copying part of these things is illegal. Why are you trying to
let the whole world know about these machines. they used to be known by only a small
portion of people.

Game Doctor SF 7. Just another kind of copier. Does the name really
matter though?

Would anyone want to see my review on the GDSF4 and the GDSF5?
