This one? There's only about 2 days left and it's only up to $1.75, I figured it'd be bidded up a little higher by now. How much should this game fetch?

Has this game been translated? I wouldn't mind making a translated cart for it, but making a more or less bootleg copy just because it's a rare and expensive game is kinda frowned upon.

I dont think there is even anything in there to translate, its a shmup/run n gun. Its 31 dollars now, and I imagine itll def be in the double digits towards the end. I offered the guy with the loose cart $70 and he didnt bother responding =/

Its mentioned in this article http://www.racketboy.com/retro/nintendo ... games.html

There's only 15 hours left and it's only at $44, are you still planning to get it? The rate of bids didn't seem to rapid for a rare game, I'm suspecting they wont go too high.

Everyone's waiting to snipe. Still 15 1/2 hours to go. That's the first complete once I've seen for sale. The rare times I've seen others, they were all loose.

Well it isn't as high profile as say, a Stadium Events cart, but usually idiots will keep bidding on it through out the week.

It's not even complete, it's missing a warranty card and a few other bits of paraphernalia.

True yes, sorry. All the others I've seen were cart only though. It's missing the plastic bag and warranty card, but it has the important bits. It is up to $213.50 now with less than 6 hours left.

Hey, how about those wonderful Zig translated repros that this here thread is for, eh? :wink:

Ended at $238, wow.

There's no translation patch for it actually, from what I've seen there's nothing in game to translate. If I was to put it on a cart it would just be a flat out pirate cart lol. Still, if I was to make it in an American cart shell I guess it would still fit in with purpose of making these carts.

So, Zapf, were you the winning bidder?

I was just commenting on the thread derailment that I was contributing to. I would like to play the game myself, but I agree that it probably shouldn't be made into a repro.

Nope I was hoping to get one sub 100 but it was 212 or so when I checked an hour prior to it ending =/. There is a loose one on ebay for $600 obo if I ever change my mind though lol.

sorry for derailing. That game, an uncensored cybernator (minor I realize) and a translated version of gunman's proof, were the only things I would actually be lookin for in an snes repro.

Did anyone ever make a translation for the Goemon games (only the first snes one was released in the US)?

Hi Zig

Ive made a couple of repro's for myself and friends the old school way stacking the eproms which i never really had a problem with until i tried to make tales of phantasia :evil: There was so many wires that i couldn't even see the pcb, so when it didn't work i just threw it in the trash because it would have been practically impossible to find the fault to fix it :(

Looking for alternative ways i finally found and ordered the Tsop adapters.....but even they didn't work :( BUT! i just stumbled over this thread and saw that you used the same adapter but jumpered wires somewhere :D

(Yes i do release that TOP is to big for one 32mbit eprom, i planned to use 2 adapters with an encoder)

Can i ask why and where those wires are jumpered :D


Thanks soooo much! you have saved me a great, great, GREAT! deal of frustration


:D :D :D
