As many of you may know, I originally wrote my first Chunkout game for the gameboy color over 10 years ago. After a few people asked about if I was ever going to get it onto a cart, I can now say, it's on its way!

I'm working with Josh (qixmaster) and Ray (thefrisbee) on the production of this, and it's going to be a complete CIB release with some of Ray's fantastic artwork adding to the theme. I've received some prototype PCB's required for production, and should have some chips soldered onto these to confirm 100% that they are designed right in the next week or so. Keep up to date with some progress over at my site! (http://www.chunkout.com...).

Very cool man. I love how you've ported your game to so many platforms!

great, looking forward to it!

That's awesome James.
If you keep this up, you'll have all the consoles covered, although I've heard SNES is a coding nightmare.

Al

Hooray, great job James!

James, very nice to see you continuing to expand the homebrew scene.

Awesome!

Oh man, you have my love. GB homebrews = HELL YEAH!

Very cool James! I would very gladly pick up a copy of this

What about cart cases? Donors?

edit: "I've also tracked down some plastic cartridge shells from Hong Kong, so everything's coming together for the production" (source his site)
....any chance you could track down famicom ones?

If you need some testers James, I'm only a state or 2 away

this is going to be one sweet release guys! You won't want to miss out

Maybe James will eventually work on a DS version that can use the stylus. I am very excited to be a part of the production here. The artwork is S-E-X-Y!

It's soo cool to get to be a part of this release. Yippie!

sweet! very cool!

Very cool. It will look nice with my 2600 CIB Chunkout & Nes Chunkout 2 cart. Can't wait!

Sweet! I am very interested in purchasing a copy of this!

With the cart plastics we hit a snag and the HK supplier can no longer supply them. We are now working on plan B though and should have some soon!

Congrats on taking homebrewing to a whole nother level! This is the beginning of something big .

As a bit of a teaser, here's a picture of Chunkout Chuck who will be featuring in the packaging artwork! Thanks to Ray for the fantastic cartoon work as always!

Things are progressing along a few fronts on this one at the moment. I've found a new supplier for cartridge plastics so we won't need to butcher old carts after all!

I've also hit a bit of a wall with my electronics knowledge as I can't quite get my prototype circuit board to work (it will boot with the Nintendo logo, but then has a blank screen). So that's been sent off to have some electronic magic weaved on it by bunnyboy, hopefully it's something simple

Artwork's also progressing as you can see above, hopefully we should get some box and label drafts done over the next few weeks.

And the finishing touches are being applied to the game, damn I'm definately no musician!

i was just wondering if all this has been done through retrozone contacts or if you have found suppliers in australia??

*edit, oops - i see the first post

looking forward to seeing it!

There's definitely been some Retrozone mentoring along the way

what about the cart plastics? it would be great if there was someone here in oz that would make them for a reasonable price

Unfortunately they can be made in China a lot cheaper!

Matt over here at the Kitsch-bent store (http://store.kitsch-bent.com/...) has been fantastic with getting me hooked up with the cart plastics. They've got some pretty neat stuff in there store there too, including replacement controller plastics for the NES! (different colour d-pad and buttons)

Yeah, Kitsch is awesome. I've got a set of the NES buttons myself. Thretris made them. They're a bit rough but good nonetheless.
