I have recently purchased a reproduction cartridge of Starfox 2 for the SNES and was curious if anyone would be willing to make a vertical cover for me. It would be nice if it looked like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Nintendo-NTSC-SNES-STARFOX-2-Box-Manual-/150867248303?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item23206384af#ht_500wt_1288
Thak ooh!!

Where did you buy your repro from?
-
Well, I did see one on gamereproductions.com and it was like $100!! So I went on eBay and found the game without the shell for like $35 here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/STARFOX-2-STAR-FOX-2-EPROM-PRE-BURNT-READY-INSTALL-/130745567034?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D1352726434528866365%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D1011%26rk%3D2%26#ht_618wt_1271

Thanks for including the link on a cool find. Did you buy this already?
The reason I ask that, is this auction is weird... and it may be what you want... but that looks like an eprom that is simply burned with the StarFox 2 rom. It's the same as buying something like this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/1PCS-IC-ST-CDIP-32-M27C801-100F1-M27C801-80F1-M27C801-90F1-M27C801-100F6-M27C801-/261077551863?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc96f4af7
The reason the dude at gamereproductions sells Starfox 2 for $100 is because it is a pain to wire one of these up to a cart. It takes a lot of wires, a lot of patience, and you have to be a really good solderer. Wiring a Star Ocean to an SDD-1 is perhaps the only thing more frustrating.
If you haven't bought this, I would recommend you dont as there are plenty of Hong Kong shops that will sell you a 27C801 programed with Star Fox 2 for about $8 bucks shipped. If you have bought it, I would contact the eBayer and ask for a refund.

Where can I find one? :o
Any luck on that cover request?

I LOVE my star fox 2 reproduction.
Here is the cover

That's what I was looking for, thank you sooo much, dude! :)
-
No prob, I bit the bullet and spent a bit of money for mine, mainly because I know how much of a pain it is to make.
-
Unless someone would be willing to make this for me, I'll probably have to just buy it!! Blech!
-
I made the cover they used in that box. I have the cart label, horizontal and vertical covers made. You can download them via the link in my box.net profilein my signature.

Why you do this to me? I can't decide which one to choose... :'(

There is third link the Stafox 2 cover in my Vertical SNES topic:

And which one to choose?
It's up to you, but all three covers are the exact same cover done by Shenske ;)

That link is not a game cart it's just an Eprom IC chip with the game data wrote to it, absolutely useless unless you are planning on soldering it into a cart yourself. GR.com won't even reply to emails for me and ocd doesn't do SF2 :(

Yeah, I realized that. I've asked him about a couple thinks and no reply, too.

You need timewalkgames.com
You will have to wait though.... they arent currently accepting new orders as they are bogged down. They have 2 version of Star Fox 2 to choose from. 1 has the save feature but is on the old FX chip. The other id on the correct FX chip but has no save feature. (bit rarer due to the only game to have that chip being Doom SNES. So its called Doom edition as its written over that cart.)
-
Thanks man!
-
Thanks man!
no prob. Theyve done good for me thus far. Have Star Fox 2, Mega Man and Bass, Super Mario World: Return To Dinosaurland and The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds

Actually Winter Gold uses the Super FX2 and saves it is the best donor cart for Starfox 2 (it's a pal only release though). Checked that site out and I have to say the prices are ridiculous, ocdgamer charges half of that the only problem is he doesnt do anything that uses special chips in the carts.

That would be cool if they could custom make it. Send in a copy of winter gold and see if they could do that.
