I'd like to get cartridge reproductions of different color hacks, is there a shop that provides a service to realize them? Something like I send my own rom, and I can choose the artwork, etc)
I would avoid getting a rom programmer for just a small number of cart..and have them outside my everdrive.
Any advice? Thank you!
I had exactly the same problem than you.
I have bought quite a few in the past from this seller:

But beware, pcb thickness used in cartridges is not always appropriate for MD1 board slots, I think.

MD2 slots seem able to fit the cartridges without damaging the pins (crushing/bending).
I had to change MD1 slot for a MD2 slot to overcome the situation.

Apart from that, all cartridges are still working.
Also, be aware that most, if not all, repros sold in Aliexpress uses 3.3v components.
You can have better information about what I'm talking about in this article:

Well, krikzz's programmer is not that expensive, and his boards are better quality vs the chinese ones.
But would that apply to a reprocart with only 1 game (previously flashed in it and outside the MD) that will work as read-only?Quote:

It still works and I can play most of the games fine, but I don't think to buy and exaustivelly play these games are a good idea anymore.
I think an casual / ocasional play is relativelly fine.
But I really fear to screw up a thing that had "many adventures" with me on my childhood.
Sad to hear about your SNES.
Well, I am not technically qualified for saying anything about this..
I hate to ask the dreaded question, but has anyone experienced their MDs or Gennys dying on them for using 3.3V reprocarts?
Are there reported cases of such failures being related to reprocart use here on Sega-16?
I know about the 3.3v problem, but as far as I know it affects krikzz boards as well..
..and I just checked, that's correct and it's marked avoid.
It's really disturbing that there's no alternative.
I will consider all the options, thank you all for the useful information :)
I have recive 2 copies from this shop and they are of high quality materials, i recommed.
He's already are selling some hacks but you can make you custom order too

Pyron, sorry for the question, but are you ok with someone that actually sells hacked roms - with your hacks?
I mean, one thing is to ask someone to burn a rom (or hacked rom) and pay for that service.
Another thing is to "advertise" someone else's work and put a price tag on it.
I really don't know, i even didn't know this insure until now, i will pay attention on it. Also you can send him a e-mail, i have no doubt that hes gonna answer you.Quote:

On the other hand, nobody here values much what I do, if you take for example SF2 RM which I have already invested a good hundreds of free hours and other hacks like the FFCD and several others that have consumed all my free time and no one has ever donated 1$. So at least somebody profits from that, I just stay on the side of the passion for games.
Surely you don't mean that.Quote:

It is not. As the time of writing this it clocks 355,432 views and 2,150 replies.
You have earned your place among the pioneers and I am sure your work will never be forgotten.
Even if you have not make any (material) profit you have gained reputation and confidence of many others.
That's why when somone thinks of a game-with-a-hack-in-need they turn to you.
Because they know you have the skills, good taste and knowledge necessary to make their wishes come true.
And that, my friend, is power ...
That's not true, as I already said elsewhere you were an inspiration for me to start on the palette hacking, with no knowledge at all on the matter.Quote:

I think it will be the same for you :)
And since I will always try to put my name in the credits in my hacks, I'm not bothered if someone will sell it. :D
I recently received this statement from the store that Pyron put the linkQuote:

Rene talks about flash cartridges that are not made correctly. The only board I have that is flash right now is the N64 and it is 3.3 volt because the 64 runs 3.3 volt naturally. My n64 board is properly shielded to keep from hurting the system. All my other boards use epproms and also run the natural voltage of the system. Hope this helps."
