If you ever visit Nintendo Player at


you will see that they are sponsered now by a website called



They actually take unreleased games like Kid Dracula, Sweet Home, and Parodius to name a few and place them in carts, labels (you pay for their work only) and they give it to you!

Basically that's a cool idea.
I like it.

So, you know how to type perfect English? That's prety good! I can barely type French let alone German.

I already have Parodius because it was released in PAL format .

I do think this is a cool idea. $35 is probably worth it to get California Raisins on cart. Definitely a good site for those who have all the official releases and want to move into the unreleased.

That would be a great thing for people who program their own games, wouldn't it?

thats exactly what i was wondering! hopefully they would cause that would rock

I definately think it's a cool idea! The less technically minded people (like me) wouldn't know how to go about it, so it would be cool to have a cart of that stuff...

...about the Grand Theftendo....

I don't think they'd be able too. I remember reading an article about dumping your own games onto hacks, and the same mapper has to be present on the cartridge, if I recall correctly. I think they'd have to have a whole new chip...

I think it's a cool idea, but the big problem I see is creating fradulent carts for sale on ebay or something.

I have been wondering for a while how one would go about making a multi cart with good games, not just super arabian, mario, and 9999999 shooters.
My 10-in-1 cart (10 is just an arbitrary upper bound)
Mighty Final Fight
Bonks Adventure
Dodgeball
Contra
Mike Tyson's Punchout
Megaman 3
Gun.smoke
Gradius
Dr. Mario
Tecmo Super Bowl

Is it possible to make a multicart of this quality?

That shouldn't be the biggest problem for a programmer, right?

But wiring up so many things might become a problem.

When all the games used the same mapper, it'd be possible to have one's top10 games on 1 cart, right? (Just as uglyjack asked)

yes, if all the games used the same mapper it would be much more simple, you'd just need to have someone write the loader for it so you could select the game you wanted to play, which I would image would be a simple task for anyone that knows 6502 assembly.

I'd rather spend money on the real deal too, although it would be fun to have a cart or 2 but not really my aim at the moment.

I think this is aimed at people that wanted to get hacked, or original games on a cart, I'd much rather have the original too, but for games that weren't released, or were made by some homebrew people this looks like the only option.

to be perfectly honest I don't know any assembly, although I would assume they are quite different. But as with most lanuages, probably not that hard to pick up of you're familiar with another one of the same level and type. I know there are a lot of tutorials out there for programming the Atari consoles, as well as the NES.

I found with a quick google, it seems to have a lot of source available, as well as projects listed. maybe it would be helpful in this case.

For unreleased games i'd rather have the proto,i can understand why people want them,i only think it's too much to spend between 30-50 incl. ship. for a repro cart.

Yes, that's far too expensive for me, too.
I'd rather like to have such proto carts.
Perhaps I should look around Japanese auctions more for those.

That's cool,always check dude,you never know what you could find and maybe you'll find it mega cheap.

That might really happen.
The Japanese aren't as much into auctions as we Europeans and Americans, yet.
Sometimes I see very cheap things on Japanese auctions that sell quite expensive on German eBay.
When I have enough money in Japan, I'll definitely try Japanese auctions.

And it's mega cool to own some famicom proto's,if you could find them for mega cheap that would be great.

I dont know it sounds possible. With the technology today it just be able to link which game should start up on which map!
