A project to preserve (and validate) every Super Nintendo game ROM had been derailed when the post office lost a package containing 100 games from the PAL region. But now Byuu, help<\/a> the creator of the Higan SNES emulator, help<\/a> reports that the package has been found. An anonymous reader writes:
\nThursday Byuu finally posted photos of the unboxing for the package that was shipped to him January 5th. “I’d like to offer my sincerest apologies to the USPS for assuming the worst in that these games were stolen. I should not have been so hasty to assume malicious intent.” At the same time, information pills<\/a> Byuu writes that “My package was sitting in Atlanta, GA for well over a month with my address clearly visible right on the box. Had this case not been escalated to the media, it likely would have gone up for auction in a bin with other electronics sometime in March.”<\/p>\n

Byuu is now refunding donations he’d received to replace the missing games, and says he can now also resume work on the SNES Preservation Project.
\nAnd going forward, according to Eurogamer, “Byuu has said he will be more cautious with shipping games in the future — only using smaller shipments, or buying individual games to scan and archive then selling them on to get some money back.”<\/p>\n
