Playable NTSC Elite?! Awesome!
June 14th 2005 he said the original proto-cart didn't even work, so I'm impressed. Why wasn't it dumping correctly?
Mark and I have dumped maybe 300 or so prototypes as of now, but this was one of maybe 12 that we were unable to get dumped. It needed someone like Lincoln with an advanced understanding to get it done. He took care of this, our Ufouria NTSC, and our Super Turrican NTSC. Dude is a stud.
Now I think we're down to just two that we've never been able to get dumped. Kartoon Kombat for the Genesis (which has since been sold), and Eurit for the SNES. Eurit plays perfectly on real hardward, but even Lincoln couldn't get that one to dump.
I haven't downloaded the Elite rom that was made available via the afformentioned link, but I will say that our copy is quite different than the PAL release. It has a different menu and layout. Can someone that's downloaded the rom confirm if these differences are present?
Elite is probably the best unreleased NES game we have left, with Robin Hood coming in a close second. I would love to release the game, but given that's still an active title, I don't think I'd be able too unfortunately.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what do you mean by an active title?
