And speaking of repos..... Wouldn't a Sailormoon Another Story repo be awesome. In a clear pink snes shell. Mannnnnnnnnnn, I can't find anything on the internet though, it seems that fan translation won't play properly on a repo.

I know I saw it on some repro site, but I can't remember which... ???

Does anyone know of a gameboy flashcart that is still sold? I'm trying to save my gameboy camera pictures/saves. That is all that I will use it for!

Actually, I have the original Japanese version of Sailor Moon Another Story, and it works on my SNES. You meant to say repros. pichichi010 of Nintendo Age said He only did the NTSC mold for now. Maybe in the future, he can do a PAL/Super Famicom cart shells with holes.

Ive always been a big fan of reproductions since the day I found out them. Theres nothing like the feeling of playing a great game you wouldnt otherwise be able to play in your region or language on real hardware. Then you also have the freedom to design your own unique labels and dress it up the way you like it so you can stick it up on your shelf with the rest of the collection. And I dont think they should ever lose their value. Repros are generally around the same rate no matter who you buy from and I think a repro should always be worth at least as much as your paid for it. If anything, the value might go up if supplies to make them become more expensive and hard to find.

Anyway, Ive bought my fair share of repros and dont plan slowing down just yet. Heres what I have so far:

NES:

- Adventure Island 4
- B-Wings
- Bio Force Ape
- Bio Miracle Baby Upa
- Chronicle of the Radia War
- Cocoron
- Getsu Fuuma Den
- Holy Diver
- Im Kid Dracula
- Miracle of Almana
- Moon Crystal
- Mr. Gimmick!
- Robocco Wars
- Splatterhouse SD
- Time Diver: Eon Man
- Tower of Radia
- TwinBee 3
- Ufouria
- Wai Wai World
- Wai Wai World 2

SNES:

- Alcahest
- Bahamut Lagoon
- Feda: Emblem of Justice
- Front Mission: Gun Hazard
- Gunmans Proof
- King of Demons
- Mega Man & Bass
- Pop n TwinBee
- Pop n TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventures
- Secret of Evermore (2 player hack)
- Secret of Mana 2
- Star Fox 2
- Terranigma

Master System:

- Power Strike 2 (Game Gear Port)
- Sonic Triple Trouble (Game Gear Port)

Sega Genesis:

- Gley Lancer
- King Colossus
- Monster World IV
- Ninja Gaiden
- Pulseman
- Yu Yu Hakusho

I would buy both. The Reason for that is i can have the real copy on my shelf and have a back up and not worry 20 years down the road if the battery will kill my saves
Your Voice Brings me so much peace If I had to do all of it again ..I would do it again no matter how many times for an eternity for you

Can you still buy the NTSC repro of Sailor Moon?

Snes Reproductions are getting harder to obtain because of a parts shortage.  I could see the price going up at least until there is an alternative method found for making them.

I have a super everdrive but I have bought reproductions too. One I own currently are:

Final Fantasy V
F-Zero 2
Legend of Zelda Goddess of Wisdom
Megaman & Bass
Rendering Ranger R2
Secret of Mana 2
Super Mario World Return To Dinosaur Land

I did have Super Metroid Redesign and Legend of Zelda Parallel Worlds as well but sold them both due to the stupid difficulty of those games. I plan on buying the re-release of Parallel Worlds since it's meant to be normal difficulty in the new build, but Metroid was just retarded as they made the wall jumps so frustrating and the game uses them heavily for normal exploration, not just the harder hidden bits.
I plan on getting Starfox 2 and maybe Terranigma too (since i will never pay the price it goes for now).

I like them both.

I just wanted to bump this up to see if anyone else knew anything about Gameboy carts for dumping your own cartridges. I'm trying to save my Gameboy Camera pictures from years and years ago!
