Cool! I'm excited to see how they turn out.

Me too. I am very interested to read about your eventual findings.

Good Luck!

If you get around to doing NES repro's I would be very interested in SMB2 (and FF2/3) might have to do a bulk order form you to save on postage.

If you are successful and do make some Gleylancer/Undead Line/Eliminate Down ones, I have 2 dead Genesis cart all ready to play donor. Though since Genesis carts are so simple inside, it seems that unless the cart needs the extra bits for a battery save, that probably any cart can be a donor. And if that's the case, helloooo cheap sports games!

Yea but you wouldnt want to use any of those EA ones, I always hated there carts.

No kidding. EA used random screws on the carts here. Normal phillips one time, tee start the next, then those tri-wing spanner ones that I didn't both making a tool to open. I've nearly busted a few of those stupid yellow tabs too.

Speaking of Genesis repro carts, I have a few questions about casings.
1. Which color cartridges were produced, and which games used these colors?
(the only one I know of is Maximum Carnage, much like one of the SNES variants; it is red)

2. Can bare Sega Genesis / Mega Drive cartridge casings be found for purchase anywhere?

Thanks in advance

Is there any empty red SNES carts for sale? I would like to have one for a custom copy of Super Metroid.

As I know of; not as of yet. You can either wait for http://www.RetroUSB.com to release them (which they will be releasing red ones at some point; they will look similar to the SNES PowerPak, I assume), or use a commonly available game that comes in red casing; such as Doom or Maximum Carnage. I suppose you could even spray paint your own with Krylon.

I guess I could buy/trade for a copy of one of those or even a broken copy so I could use the case

I have at least one extra copy of Doom available right now.
I ordered them primarily for trying to make my own Star Fox 2 cart(s).

I'd be glad to sell (or maybe trade) it to you without the game PCB itself inside.
Of course, since it is a Super FX game, if it is used to house a non Super FX
game, then there will be very small openings near either side of the edge
connectors of the game PCB. If you used Maximum Carnage, then you
wouldn't have this very small problem, but I think that game is more
rare. Hardly an issue, but I thought I would mention it to be fair.

Anyway, PM me about prices if you are interested.
