While I'll agree that it might be the voltage going to the cart slot. What you are showing in the videos is firecore 1.0 emulation which is much worse than the firecore 2.0 that is in the retrogen. I'm playing again and I'm almost past the skull mountain so I guess we'll see shortly.Quote:

Not the exact same senerio as last time but pretty close.
At this point, you may want to play the game exclusively on a real Genesis system, or at least on a clone of higher quality manufacture. Especially as those particular clone machines did not yet exist at the time of the game's publication, we unfortunately cannot guarantee that they have the necessary compatibility and / or power to properly run the game.Quote:

Thanks, CMA Death Adder, I plan on buying another regular Genesis (better yet a Nomad if I can find the right deal) eventually. I just got this thing for so cheap that I can't really complain one way or another.
CAG: Great your saves are still there! Enjoy the game :).
Anyone with an idea why my saves disappeared? CMA Death Adder?
Great! Have fun, and if you get stuck anywhere along the way you're always welcome to drop by the forum for hints.Quote:

None of the bugs we encountered and corrected during programming ever affected the save system, especially to the point of erasing a saved game.
I don't know anything more than I previously said:Quote:

I also checked my first copy of Beggar Prince, and it had the saves intact. So I guess it has something to do with the program.
It would be interesting to see how other portable folks are faring. If you are using a nomad and your batteries die in mid game do you loose your saves?
Okay, I read it over. But I don't have any explanation for you; I've never heard of such an issue, before. I have a couple of extra (cartridge only) copies of Beggar Prince that have been sitting here on a shelf for well over a year, and in checking them all I didn't see any with erased or damaged save data. Even so, I'll run it past our programmer who worked on the rewrite of the save system. If he has anything insightful to say, I'll post it here.Quote:

A total of 1,500 copies of Beggar Prince were produced, and shipped to happy customers in over 25 different countries. As well, the game has been featured in top gaming magazines across the world such as Tips & Tricks, Hardcore Gamer, Play, Retro Gamer, Edge, Games™, Super Play and Master Player. We would like to sincerely thank our customers, fans and the press for their attention, interest and support. We couldn't have done it without you.
Of course, I am still happy to offer gameplay tips and support, so keep 'em coming. :)
fffffffffff.........
and that's when I finally bothered to order one.
If anyone have an extra copy, pm me :)
Can someone dump the rom now? I have the game but I cant stand playing it on channel 3, especially on a large flatscreen, it makes a huge difference. Through rom you can play it HDMI with graphic filters and so on.
why can't you just get the svideo mod or buy an scart? This seems pretty cool too http://www.retrode.org/wordpress/
Don't forget it was on the cover of Classic Video gamer Magazine as well one month (shameless plug)Quote:

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Our intention from day one was to produce enough copies of the game to satisfy everyone's interest. Even after making 1,500 of them, we're still, sadly, going to be disappointing some latecomers.Quote:

Thanks for your attention.
These guys are still dedicated to releasing Genesis games 20 years after it was released. Don't pirate it.
If you desperately want to play this game for free, learn Chinese.
Damn right, and their games are rockin, too.Quote:

:daze:
During the development / testing phase, that particular obstacle got the better of me just about every time I came across it. It takes patience more than anything else.Quote:

I guess I gotta try to beg around for someone to sell me their copy.
And if you do a good enough job and score a copy, you may well be considered... THE BEGGAR PRINCE!Quote:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I went to the Super Fighter Team website today to order my copy of Beggar Prince and it's sold out!!!!
Is there going to be more of them made, or is this it?
That's it. Sorry to disappoint.Quote:

I can't wait to play it.
Finally got some time to play my copy. I must say I'm pretty impressed ! The game feels really polished. Graphics are cute and colourful, music's not bad at all, and gameplay is kinda smooth (I must say I love the battle system). Not to mention I LMAO'd at the "all your elders are belong to cats" punchline :D
So I just pre-ordered Legend of Wukong, just to be sure I will not miss its reprint. Hell, if it's as good as this one, I think it's really worth waiting a bit.
I'm looking foward for your next releases, Brandon. Thanks for bringing games like that to us ! :D
How about a digital download? You know, a licensed version of an EMU that runs it perfectly, all packed together in an installing executable (not just an EMU + ROM). Give it a serial number that have to be typed in before it installs (this would be given upon completion of the order).Quote:

No.Quote:

We produce new games for the Genesis / Mega Drive, not for emulators. We will not be releasing the game in any way, shape or form other than on a cartridge. No argument will sway this decision. Thank-you, everyone, for understanding.Quote:

For anyone still looking for copies of it, this store appears to still have some in stock:

:cool:
I am totally on board with CMA Death Adder's decision to not release a rom. Having a cart rocks.
But I still want a t-shirt ;)
Hi,
Just letting you know that we safely received your paypal payment, and that your order is being processed. Your copy, the final copy of Beggar Prince, will ship out this morning. When Super Figher Team announced that they were all gone, we got hit with a CRAZY amount of requests for the game. We were offered very large sums of money for it, but you were next in line so you get it! Have fun
Best,
Michael of GDG's Homebrew Heaven

Looks like I got the last copy from GDG ;)
There was a copy at Sashimi Games but they want $70 for it.
Yup, prices are going to hit the roof in the coming months. I'm glad I got my copy back in April last year.
