Re: Mother 3 Repro, can anyone make one?
So it looks like my only option is to buy a flashcart. Now what flashcart it the best for playing on GBA/GBPlayer? As I said before, I don't wanna go through any flashcart menus, I just want it to load up the game as if it was a official GBA game. Speaking of which, is there any way I can stick a Mother 3 label on it, and remove the see-through cart-shell as I've seen on alot of flashcards and replace it with normal GBA cart-shell? And how much would all this cost?

If space in a GBA case is an issue, wouldn't it be feasible to use a donor GB/GBC case? I think the width of the boards is similar and the GB cart has a lot more real estate inside.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

there's a bit of rumbling over at the Nintendo Age boards of a possible red cartridge-only repro being produced...

Well screw the flashcart! If this guy is serious about this,then we'll be able to play mother 3 without using a Flashcart!.

Cool. I took a look at that thread...
I can vouch that it IS quite a risk to take. I would agree that $40 a pop for cart only is a fair price. If that does turn out to be the price, you're lucky it's not more.I'm thinking about making it, yes, but I don't know if it's cost effective. After lunar year festival in china I can get a price estimate. It would be cart only. Quantity would be large. Quite a risk to take really.
Re: Mother 3 Repro, can anyone make one?
No flash cart, make your own cart is what would need to happen. Then soldering flat ROM's on a board? Nope, good luck. It'd be ALOT cheaper to buy a flash cart, then you also have other games you want to on the same cart.
Re: Mother 3 Repro, can anyone make one?
What about a EZFlash 3in1 expansion (GBA sized variant)? It's only compatible with 1 GBA game at a time so there's no menu. From what I read if you load the rom on in a DS all you'd need to do is print out a label. I don't have one to verify this, but from what I understand it should do exactly what you want.
