Starfox 2 SNES Vertical
Dan-Fu:
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?
Dan-Fu:
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?
