Well, I know the 31 of you have been waiting for this, but it's finally here.  I playtested my own of course and I am very satisfied with how it looks/plays/sounds on the real hardware.  All the rest were made from this exact rom (save for altering two bytes to get your number to show up in-game) Basically just like the emulator!  (although the dark purple in the title looks kinda red on my TV...  oh well)

These all came inside of their own bubble wrap with an individual number sticker on them so I guess in some way they're "sealed".

Next week I guess I'll be making several post office trips.  I will probably mail a few out each day (maybe 10).  There are a few outstanding payments, so I'll be holding those carts until that is cleared up.

But anyway, it's here!  It works!  It's green!

I was going to attach one, but my digital camera battery is dead... Just imagine a standard 3-screw NES cart with translucent green plastic on it with um, the label on it.  Heh.

Looks very sexy ! Can't wait to have it in the mail...

@ Sivak;Will you announce who's games you will send out so we can know when to expect it ?
Also, could you mark is as a gift to avoid customs fees ? Or limit the amount to 18 USD ?

The main plan was to do domestic first, then Canada and then Europe (yeah, I know, you're last...)

When it comes time to send to Europe, I'll see what I can do.  I have never sent anything to Europe, so I'm not sure on what all the rules are.

To the domestic people:  I'll most definitely do the priority packages first then the first class.  I need to go get a bunch of bubble mailers.

Canada and Europe I'll probably do the same day since there aren't that many of those.  I know Canada is probably not a big deal for mailers, but is Europe?

Sivak shipping internationally is no big deal at all. Using bubble mailers will be perfectly fine. You should ask for some green customs forms at the PO when you go to ship the domestic ones cause you will need a customs form, but they are easy to fill out. Ask the clerk to highlight what you need to fill out if you are not sure. Shouldn't cost but a few bucks for to Euro and hardly anything more up north.

BTW they look great, can't wait to get mine.

Only thing to remember when shipping to canada is to indicate that the value is less than $20. Otherwise we get hit with a fee ranging from 15% to 33% (depending on which shipping method is used).

I don't emulate, so I have been really curious to play this and Siamond. I am very, very excited to have this on a cart and hopefully for Siamond as well. Thanks Sivak and Bunnyboy, stuff like this is what makes being a part of this community so exciting!

Love the green cart. I think all of the the clear/colored carts from Bunnyboy are the most bad ass video game carts I have ever seen.

10 packages were sent out today. The priority ones are of course on the top of my list, so I'm guessing 10 of you will get this on Wednesday. I randomly picked from them as quite a few were priority.  I couldn't send all of them as I needed more cash on-hand.  I'll try to get the rest of the priority squared away tomorrow and hopefully the first class.

Other news: It appears shipping to Europe may be cheaper so I'll refund the difference of what you paid vs. what it actually was. Canada may also be cheaper.  I'll keep you posted.

The remaining priority ones were sent out, so if you paid priority you'll know your package is in the mail. 17 sent, 14 to go...

Oh and by the way, I REALLY like that the cart numbers are actually printed on the label, as opposed to written on in pen. That's a really nice touch that I wasn't expecting.

Yes...  All it took were 33 image files.  You should be happy I decided to modify that same spot 33 times.
