Yikes that’s pretty gross. Makes me wonder if other places have done similar things.
According to the dev, he’ll be releasing a new firmware to remove the expiry at the end of June.

Wow, not a good look even if no one has been affected. I’ve considered a purchase for my VA0 Dreamcast with a dead drive, but now I’d be better off picking up a VA1 and a GDemu.

It’s to offer suicide battery simulation for CPS2 ports.
You guys just aren’t hardcore enough.
So the consensus is that the Chinese knockoffs are identical except for the lack of firmware updates (and suicide)?
If so, this guy probably won’t be tolerated for a whole lot longer. Or until he invents something else as a way to complain more.
