He's obviously not trying to make a box that would pass as an original. If someone wants it for their shelf, then I think it's just fine and dandy.

For repro games, or games that never came with English boxes sure.

And that box seems to have purposely QR codeinstead barcode that is impossble to mix with real, unless your blind.

And he is member of our site, so he is free to defend his reputation:

If he would start making high quality English manuals for repro games, Japanese only games or games that the manuals are near impossiblre to get otherwise, I'd definitely buy.
I would even provide raw material, like I do now if someone asks and I have the manual.

That would be cool.

He made my custom Mega Man 10 press kit and Rockman 9 and 10 boxes. I wish I had more hands, so I could give those boxes 4 thumbs up!

Does he have something to do with http://retroquestgames.com?
I'm waiting on Eli (the webmaster) to start making those SNES reproductions with brand new materials, just like retrousb.

No, he's www.retrogameboxes.com

The only way that guy is going to start building new SNES carts is if someone spoonfeeds him the designs. He has no idea what he's doing; he's just another kid with some ROM hacks and a soldering iron.

A few weeks ago Eli showed pictures of new boards to be used on SNES repros in NintendoAge (http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=82873). The repros he currently list are made with donors, but that is to change soon... Hopefully. He's also developing a homebrew game for the SNES.
I was just curious if he was the same guy as the one running www.retrogameboxes.com, apparently not.

If he's actually getting something done now, good for him. I like his ideas; it just seems that he's always begging others to do all the actual work for him. I wonder where he found the gerber files for those pcbs. I wouldn't mind getting some of those myself... but I'm just another kid with a soldering iron.
