Ok, I new to the repro scene. Do you sell these? Or, is it more for your personal collection?

BTW, these are amazing looking, great work!

Repros are so pre-flash carts.

Hardly, sometimes you just want the complete package,
Sure, Cart repro's only do defeat the point, but a real cart+manual+box+cover is awesome.

This is neat.

The complete reproduced package? That's not collecting. Anyway I think the repro scene does deserve its place, and that would be to release physical copies of awesome homebrew and hacked games. Reproing an exact copy of a game that's already been released back in the 90s really seems odd to me. I can understand a repro if it adds new features to the game that weren't available in the retail version, like phoenixed cps 2 arcade b boards (with the suicide data removed so the board won't eventually die). Or those street fighter 2 bootleg arcade hacks we got in the 90s which for a time threatened capcoms arcade business and pushed capcom to release their own official champion edition hack (turbo).

Anyway this stuff is cool, but I'd get more excited seeing repros (technically conversions unless you're actually manufacturing the pcbs which I highly doubt) of homebrews and hacks that never had a release. An awesome sonic hack with its own cartridge, box, and even booklet, now that's awesome.

It's amazing how many people come to me commissioning me to build starfox 2 carts (both regular speed and overclocked). Starfox 2 is really not all that special, it's just it was never released so to me that alone makes it worthy of being properly reproduced. The other "repro" I make that's popular is starfox 1 running at over 2x the framerate, this's what I call an "improvement repro" where something about the game has been noticably improved over the retail version.

I think the repro business should be used to push the homebrew / rom hacking scene because the money generated by it would help support the people who take the time to make these (also it would help get their work out there). I really see homebrews and hacking as the future of classic gaming, but if people don't support it then programmers / hackers won't make enough money to keep doing it. If I can't afford a legit cart of an already released game then I'll just flash cart the game until I get the funds.

How can a homebrew get a "reproduction" if it is being produced for the first time?

[Drakon]

True that, fine, a conversion.

Do you have any video of said StarFox 1 2x frame rate?

[Drakon]

I think I've posted it all over now. Guess you don't hang out enough in the tech aid section.

I don't want to go flamingly off topic so I'll pm you said video.

Ehm.. How did we go from repro's to bootlegs? because copying an existing game is considered a bootleg.

oh wait, the Megaman one, yeah.. but that one is super rare so i get why that is done.. (and wasn't the real thing released with the blue cover instead of the classic grid one?)

Anyhoo, I agree with what you said, you should really only repro stuff like translated roms and sweet hacks.

[FFantasy6]

(and wasn't the real thing released with the blue cover instead of the classic grid one?)

Yes, but I prefer the custom covers, and something different of the original cart.

[Drakon]

Which is a good idea. Coming up with a new label is always fun.
