Not to derail the thread but:

I know awhile ago I talked to tusk about releasing the files for the boxes/manuals after we were done producing the game. He was up for it..but I can’t remember if we set a date after the initial release to do this. I’ll see if he might be interested in selling cart only on his site. I PERSONALLY don’t want to get into it. I see the need, but I can’t handle all of the shipping and keeping track of money and stuff. He’s already stream lined to do it. Took me forever to thank everyone with free proto carts and it was a bit stressful. I can’t picture having a constant flood of stuff like that 🙂

1. Faceball: Remastered
2. Fishbone
3. Space Squash

If so, does this mean that I can expect a deadline for the Space Squash Instruction Booklet to be more than several months from now? I’ll try to get one done for Faceball: Remastered within a month or so, and I’ll try to make it as different as possible from the one for the Prototype version, so that people have something new and exciting to look forward to.

Yea..with Gundam coming first…maybe 1.5 – 2 months in-between releases. Or, this was my thoughts.

Ack…..game is done thou. Chips are flashed..batteries added and checking of the save function is already going on. I think we’re a bit late to make changes on this…

-Eric

I visit my parents for a few days and look what happens..I should see them more often 🙂

heh not even close 🙂

Does this look like a lot of baseballs ?

I can tell you that i’ve tested about 10 that I have and they all work here…

BigMac,

That person “Gorillazero” is me lol.

HAH

I knew you were busy 🙂 wasn’t going to ask you.

Yea, you have to have a game in the machine for anything to happen on the screen.

When you say that the English version for Space Squash is not fully translated yet, does this mean that a programmer is already lined up to finish up the controls screen and the character names on the versus screens?

I know you and your brother got a bit stuck with finishing the translation of space squash (the data was saved in a different way). I was hoping a programmer might take a look at it..but I haven’t had anyone in particular lined up. Did you want to give it another shot ? anyone else want to work on it ?

That’s my repro thread on Nintendo Age. There is a guy who posted that he worked on a patch for fishing at one time, but didn’t get far. You might want to contact him.

Of the two..def get the remastered version. The prototype is kinda easy and not finished. Very limited on mazes. The remastered is more of a full game. Thunderstruck did a hell of a job hacking the game.

-Eric

OKI…where are we at?

We are at someplace that is relaxing hopefully..cuz I am tired 🙂 Worked the last 20 or so days in a row..so I took a day off. But, it was productive.

Got the rest of the blox carts together and sent off to Tusk. People that have been waiting for their order..blame me..not him. I just haven’t had to time to get everything done. But, that’s off my list now.

Haven’t started on the Gundams yet. Got ..ONE done I think..tested a bunch of the boards thou..all looks good to go. I have off Sunday..so I’m thinking I’m gonna get out a dremel and try to get those done..if not..I will the next weekend I have off.

Sent off 30 more free proto carts today. That’s 99% of the ones I needed to send out..might have like 3 (??) more..I have to double check. Should be a bunch of happy people in about a week to 3 weeks (depending on where you live).

*a note on the proto release. It really wasn’t meant to be a regular release. It started as a way to try to get a portion of the money back from the purchase of the prototype..but that fell thru. I changed it to just a thank you to the community and the people that were helping out. I really didn’t intend for it to be a regular release. But, it seems like people really seem to like it and I’m really glad we got it done. It turned out well and the packaging/hintbook tusk did (with morintari’s artwork and ben’s help) really turned out great. We will have a very small amount for sale in tusks shop (to help people that didn’t get in on the free cart). But, I just wanted to thank people for making this all possible. OH..some sad news. Not everyone will be getting a little foam smiley with a bullet in the head :(. They were supplied by an donor back when I was only going to be giving out 50 carts..I ended up giving out 70 carts..so ..some people towards the end just ended up getting a free cart.

Oki..supplies. I just got 5 cases of baseballs in the mail (still one case and a partial somewhere in the mail system). This was my big purchase that is making me poor once again. But that’s fine..cuz now we have 250 more repros we can make (300 when the rest of the order comes in) :). So, we can keep on trucking with the repros for quite awhile 🙂 woo woo..i’m tired haha

So..atm

Now:
Blox still for sale cib..store will be resupplied soon
proto carts still going out
proto paperwork for sale in the store

Soonish:
Cib proto carts for sale in the store (25 carts ??)

A bit later:
English gundam for sale (50ish carts)

More later then that:
Faceball: remastered (75 ish carts?? total guess) been waiting on this one..finally able to play the game it was ment to be..LOTS of stuff finished in the game.

in a galaxy far far away (but this year ??)
fishbone homebrew
space squash (english version..not fully translated yet)
blox 2 (need to have the save memory fixed)

As always..this is just what i think will be going on…don’t hold me to anything 🙂

hrms i might take a pic of all the baseballs once the rest come in..that would be a hell of a pic wouldn’t it ? 🙂

-Eric

OH..btw..is there a Frederic Blahltz out there ? got a cart sent back to me..the info I have on your is wrong. PM me when you can. Also looking for a David Frear…your package came back…

I’d estimate lower. 75$ or so. Most of the price of these games are in the box/manual.

-Eric

Actually i’m the one that is sending out the free carts 🙂 I’ve TRIED very hard to get everyone who donated a free cart..it’s gonna be close. PM me your address and I’ll see if I’ve sent one out. Also..I still have about 30 to send out..so it might take a few weeks for people to get them (esp if they are over seas).

-Eric

Wow that is impressive. Quite a bit over my head..but the demo is extremely impressive.

Can these approaches also recreate voice ?

-Eric

Wish I could see the results without voting…hard to vote when you don’t have one 🙂

Is that a good price now a days ? I bought mine for like 100..and was called out..but of course that was quite awhile ago….

btw…24 more carts out today 🙂
