Any word on the cart release?

"Vegavox III is the last in the series of albums appearing uniquely on Nintendo NES cartridges. Cartridge development is still in progress, but the music is ready for the public. This is the first album by Alex Mauer to feature the Konami VRC6 expansion chip.

Tracks 4 and 6 also appear on the Starr Mazer OST.

released December 28, 2016 

Artwork by Alex Mauer. 
Recorded from Famicom by Steve Lakawicz. 
Album dedicated to Simon Mauer."

Oh wow.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

Yeah if I had a chance at getting a cart version on eventual release, it's probably much lower now. Also my chances of snagging a VegaVox II unless it gets reprinted...  

He say he used VRC6 for the album. A set of NSFs would play back nicely on the Powerpak, but what would he use for NES donors? INL's FME7 is the only repro PCB I know of that uses expansion audio. Famicom donors such as Espera Dreams 2 would likely either be expensive in quantity or only smallish supply available cheap, and repros could easily create a bull market on certain titles. CVIIIj is already way too expensive and desirable now that most westerners want to play/collect it.

I emailed Alex Mauer a couple weeks ago and he has no plans to release a physical cart, though he may do a free ROM release.
