Re: Reproductions that look like original games

I have seen people pop up at swap meets with those new-style Chinese bootlegs (that are of obvious shit quality and can be bought by the case) being sold as "reproductions" at prices that would have bought you a genuine cart ~10 years ago. You could argue that that could be predatory, but ...

I remember that someone did hack this to run on MMC3, but changed the title screen to Gryzor for whatever reason.

Re: RGB output from composite PPU

Should this become a viable product, I imagine that RGB PPUs would be so expensive and hard to get that it'd sell quite well. Even if the price was high. Not to mention that it does a much better job than an RGB PPU. I'd imagine that the finished product would be easier to install too. I'm not sure...

There's so many copies of Madden 97 or whatever floating around that the lack of a replacement CIC is a non-issue at this point.

That said, we really need an SNES Repropak as working with existing boards is pure torture.

Battery-backed Game Doctor SF3?

I recently got one of these old SNES cartridge copiers, and it's kind of silly that it loses both the contents of SRAM and DRAM when it's power is disconnected. Now I know it would probably take an obscene number of batteries to run the whole copier for any length of time (which is pretty much neces...
