Good recovery there on his part in order to preserve correct, original data. I recall reading past events in old threads in which originals of some games being sought after no longer possible because bootleggers ruined chances of finding original game rom data code. I don't recall which games, but there were a couple iirc.

And another welcomed contribution from ShouTime which can be appreciated since this dedicated hardware version (non-DECO cassette hardware) finally replaces the bootleg version of the game.

There was a long ago discussion of the World Tennis entry and whether that was an actual bootleg of the dedicated version of DECO Pro Tennis or if World Tennis was a bootleg of another Data East game or an entirely unique bootleg altogether.

World Tennis is currently a unique bootleg, but maybe that will change again?
