If they are reasonably priced and you'll ship to Europe, the most definitely yes!

No biggy. I had literally been setting aside some money every month for almost 2 years to order them all at once. With Christmas bonus this year I went ahead and made the purchase and glad to finally be done with them.

Wait, actually making hacks?

That would be cool, especially if you could fix 2 Yoshi's Island hack so they could be done in to actual carts.
So far most promising respond from repro makers has been that they could be done as carts but might be buggy as hell (others have said no way jose and others have not responded or checked them).

The 2 hacks in question are Super Mario World 2 Plus and Super Mario World 2 Plus 2 (Done by Golden Yoshi IIRC).

I have extra copies of Winter Gold (the Ultimate FX2 Cart).

I suggest offering a service where you burn chips for people, for people like me who know how to solder, but don't have the proper equipment to make repros for their own personal collection


...and I do suggest using TSOPS for SNES reproductions, it is much cleaner than stacking Eproms.

As would I.

Random question - has anyone done Game Boy repros? Is it even possible? I'm sure the market wouldn't be as big, but I would think a green cart with an English ROM of Pokémon Green would sell pretty well.
