I suppose that Shroob was implying the word "dump" which usually means trash but the term "dumping the game" means making ROM or ISO of the game and it is used commonly online. Heck, there is even site dedicated to "game dumps and infos".
For example, here is Rayman 1 Saturn dump (only info, not ISO):

I'd like to second what Plum said. And to add to that, 'dump it' doesn't necessarily mean 'throw into the trash'. It can be and is used in a way that means 'upload all at once/in the same place'.

EDIT: Site crashed for me and OCG got to my point before I did.

To be brutally honest, this just looks like someone took the Betademo (or whatever it was) ROM that omar fixed a while back, burnt it onto an EEPROM and stuck it into a recycled cart, complete with cheap/shitty looking custom inkjet printer label² and the claim that "he had it converted" by someone..

²= Notice the "This label is made exclusively for the B&C ComputerVisions release of this cart." on the label? Now scroll down to the description and look at the seller info.. Not to mention it's in Comic Sans *barf*

tl;dr: willing to bet someone's trying to rip people off with emshomar's fixed betademo ROM burnt onto a recycled cart

I do agree with Bambooz, that the seller probably just compiled one of the known roms we got to work on a non-developer Jaguar system. I took a look on his other stuff he's selling and he also sells blank Jaguar carts and PCBs and stuff...

The label also sightly looks like to what I made in 2mins, like the white plain background, the same logo and Rayman himself standing there...

Oh good, I'm not weird for immediately assuming that! XD

Wooow, if this is true, random goof* got gypped hard. That cart, combined with shipping, isn't cheap...
Although, I don't think there's enough evidence to concretely say how likely it is that the cart is fake. The seller has many other beta/alpha carts and Atari merch in general; therefore, he might be more reputable. At the same time, it's plausible that it is a rip because the beta is widely available... And how does he have 6 copies?

It's not OCH who bought this. But yeah, I agree shipping is very expensive! I believe it's very unlikely that the seller burned a beta rom which hasn't been leaked yet on those chips. But if that's the case, that would be very awsome to see!
Yet I very much like the idea of playing the beta on original hardware...

Maybe this just me being ocd or something, but what also irks me is that they called it an alpha cartridge in the title, but the label clearly says it is a beta release... Aren't the two completely different stages of game development? I'd be more intrigued by an unreleased alpha than a beta.

Maybe the seller has no clue what he's selling there.

Alpha and Beta are nowhere close so it is weird.

What if the beta is real? I think there are not enough evidences so far.

My friend confirmed that he will record gameplay of this when it arrives on his Jaguar so we will all know 100% what it is when he gets the cartridge.

Are you positive that's a positive influence on one's sense of language? It positively confused mine!

I have that feeling that he set his price even higher than before.

Offered 20€ to him, he denied it.
