YEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to that picture I went checking and first ended on Romhacking and from there to a F-Zero Discord where they make tracks, and they linked me to the videos of the three of the five official tracks never released and I had never seen and been looking forever: Metal Fort I, Metal Fort II and Forest III (Forest I and Forest II I had already seen).

Afterwards I did promise to help by mapping the tracks.
I downloaded the videos and the quality is just and just good enough to map them.
Should not take too long.

Hey Wiggy, how about making some new Gamecube "faceplates"?  We never got them in the US and I'm sure this is something you could laser cut pretty easily.

Well, the business is moving again, back to the previous facility. My workshop at home is just way too cramped for comfort. Not to mention that working from home has proven to be extremely detrimental to my mental health.

The other good thing  is that I now have a garage again, and what we’re calling a “famcave” up top. I’ll FINALLY have a home for my collection again!

So, while moving can suck my balls, this is going to be a doubly good thing  :D

This is why I keep my work and home separate. A clear division in work and life is important to some people. Glad you are able to reclaim the room and devote it back to enjoying the hobby.

I definitely need that separation.
My wife will sometimes just let our 6 year old walk on into the shop in the middle of the day. I love him to death, but he needs to be watched like a hawk in there, but she just sits in the house. She expects me to tend to all sorts of house-related BS while I’m working. Sometimes she’ll call me all exasperated, wanting me to come in and help with our son because he won’t listen.

I’ve explained to her a million times that “I’m at work” means “I’m at work”, and I wouldn’t even think to call her to come help me manage our child while she’s at work.

On an intellectual level, she gets it. In real world practice, nope. Not at all.

I understand this all too well.  My job allows me to work from home on occasion, which sounds awesome, and sometimes it is, but when my wife is also home, she doesn't understand that I'm still AT WORK, meaning that I can't help with things the same way I can't when I'm physically at my work location.  I cannot comprehend why that is so difficult for anyone to understand. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Totally.

She’s in a doctorate program right now, and when she needs to do work on her computer at home, I don’t even think to bother her. I usually take Oscar elsewhere for the day so she can just work.

After clicking share the tab popping up has in the lower left corner blue text saying more sharing options, choose that and scroll to the bottom and copy the forum embed code and voila: 



Switch that changes text or whole game?

Thanks buddy!

It’s got both the original JP ROM, and the ENG patched ROM on one EPROM. Ground A21, and the console can’t read the bottom half of the ROM, so it reads the other half. And since the games both fit on one 4MB EPROM, it works perfectly :)

I miss TCP. Been too long since I’ve posted.

So here goes. In the middle of moving the games out to the old workshop (which is a 4 car, 2-story garage). Finally got the floor installed and everything painted. Super excited to have a proper game room again.

Currently everything is in this tiny closet of a bedroom. It barely fits, much less affords any space to actually sit in and play games.

I can’t remember how to get image links from mediafire. I’ll fix it later. Sorry Arseen. Please don’t ban me :P
