Hello everyone!
Sorry about the "rise from your grave" in this topic, btw.

And recently, I was contacted by someone wanting files about Reminiscence and Another World, whose (AFAIK) are abandoned projects no longer available for download. (*)

I'm not sure if it was you... but one month after your post here (mail and post date), I was searching the files from Flashback, mailing messages for the possible authors asking from where can I pick the files for re-generate the Saturn image again (if is possible).
Years ago, I used to download and store everything about homebrew for Saturn, and due to various problems (lack of CDR, my damaged Saturn, problems with my PC and my hard drive with backups just died), I just not burn a CDR with the game when I had the ISO with me.
Years passed... and I was looking some ports/ homebrews again for Saturn.
I've seen a cover from Flashback port for Saturn and search for it again (nowadays I have a good functional Saturn and some ways to store some homebrews backups properly). No downloads anymore... just found old links from already dead Rapidshare... or buy it with an "unfair" price, because the repro was not being sold by author of port.
Fortunately, with some effort and searches, I've found the guy who ported Flashback for Saturn and could reconstruct a playable ISO for play on my console.
The only thing that I've made was burn a CDR and play it again... and store the ISO with me.
About the topic itself: I've never agreed about "earn money with another people homebrew" or things like that. Here in Brazil, some guys make this dirty thing, and never contact the original authors about it. Just wanna make some cash from lazy or lay people... many times, delivering a bad repro.
I wish I would like to have a minimum of knowledge to contribute to the scene... the hard work that all of you here is amazing... And everytime I put a homebrew on my Saturn or Genesis, I almost cry with happiness!
