Here is a current list of repro makers and websites. IF YOU KNOW OF ONE THAT ISN'T ON THIS LIST, PLEASE PM ME. I don't check the posts in this thread so I will miss posting you if you post in the thread instead of messaging me directly. Here is the list:
RetroZone makes NES and SNES repros and is the home of the famous Powerpaks. Brian, aka BunnyBoy on NA, is the owner and they are headquartered in Redwood City, CA. He does not answer PM's so please do not PM him, he is extremely busy:

The NES Dump does NES repros and a few SNES repros. Joe is the owner, coinheaven on NA, and currently has the LARGEST list of NES repros out there. His has quality work and he has a fast turnaround:http://www.thenesdump.com/
NES-City makes repro boxes, labels, and manuals. His user ID on Nintendo Age is fsped09. I love his Final Fantasy repro boxes as well as his 8-bit XMAS repro boxes. He can also do powerpak boxes and special requests. He is a member here on NA. He now does 8-bit XMAS boxes and boxes for most of the retrozone items as well as manuals and custom labels. He does incredible work and his NES boxes are the only ones custom made out there that have exact specifications to a regular NES released box. He hand cuts all his boxes, labels and manuals. Here is his website:

Lost Classics - I found this group at the PRGE 2011 expo and they currently make repros for Game Trader. They have a lot of custom made labels that are unique. They now have a website and you can order neet games such as Star Fox 2 and other sought after repro titles. At the 2012 PRGE they had a variety of SNES repros that most repro makers don't make. Their work is superb:

Webmeister is on atariage.com and his info was shared with me recently. He makes a LOT of SNES repros including the hard to get Star Ocean and Starfox 2. I have yet to buy from him so I'm not sure on the quality but it looks like he includes the games and media cases with slip art for very reasonable prices. Definitely check him out:

64 Drive is the flash cart for the N64. This is "like" the powerpak for NES and SNES except this is for N64. Not all roms work with it and there is a long wait from when you order until you receive it. I just received mine 2/13/2012 and I ordered mine on 9/7/2011 just to give you an idea of how long it may take to receive yours. Here is the website to order and get more info:

Uncle Tusk - In my opinion one of the the best repro box makers out there. Top of the line printing and the boxes have the folds in them. It feels just like a factory made NES original box when he makes one. Very reasonable prices also:
http://www.uncletusk.com/
Callanbrown - is a repro maker I recently found out about. He hosts a website that does in depth descriptions on how to make certain repros. It's really a "how to" guide for those interested in making their own repros. He does sell some repros actively:

Time Walk Games has custom CIB repros. The company is owned by Spencer, aka nesrepro on NA, and they are located near Cleveland, OH. They currently have NES repros and are making SNES repros. They are taking new orders again and they now get their boxes FACTORY MADE!!! That means that these will be the closest thing to original that there can be since they are being made the same way.

If anyone is LOOKING for certain repro/homebrews, I have a running repro company thread going as well as a lot of extras myself which include Limited Editions as well. I'm also free to help answer questions and point people in the right direction so never hesitate to ask! Here is the current list of repro companies. Please let me know if I need to update it:

"I virtually know nothing about the virtual boy"
Of COURSE you are added to the list. I put you down as the Nolan Brothers since that is what everyone refers to you two as anyways. I do have some of your repros and they are awesome work.
I do want anyone who makes repros actively (that wants to be published with it) whether or not they have a website. My goal is to keep a running list so everyone knows who makes this stuff. When I started with NA I had a heck of a time finding these companies and I find out about new ones all the time. I felt it was time to have a comprehensive list of companies with a brief explanation.
