I found an NTSC "Elite" proto in the No Intro ROM set my Powerpak. I am sure it is not yours unless you leaked it somehow. Possibly a previous owner, or a different proto version dumped?

The results of the wireframe display engine within the demo are always the same. Sprte corruption within the "Window" below a certain point. I have not attempted to play it yet.

I am using the Powermapper megapak presented in the first download on the Powerpak thread, but am tempted to revert back to the Powerpak~BAK/ which I conveniently renamed in case I didn't like the changes, I can just hotswap both mapper sets by renaming the two Powerpak folders.

That is the old "NTSC Demo" version Ian Bell hacked up from the PAL ROM.  It only works on old, inaccurate emulators like iNES by inputting PAL-friendly parameters.  Ironically, it should work in a real PAL NES, although perhaps not quite as fluidly as the real PAL ROM.  

What BeaglePuss/Mark has is the real deal (or he is a very skilled hacker, but I'll rely on his reputation that he isn't).  I'd love to take a look at it, but I don't think he would be willing to invite a stranger over to his house to play  

Oddly enough, I totally would.  Where are you in Mass?  

Also, you better be bringing the beer.
 
You mean, quality beer.  It needs to be on par with what I gave you guys.    ]]> "USA http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=54700 2016-06-19T15:18:11 -05.00 marvelus10 63 Originally posted by: Great Hierophant

I uploaded a super short video of my Elite prototype.


"Super short?" I dunno. Looks super TALL to me...

I uploaded a super short video of my Elite prototype. That's badass. I assume that ROM is not for public consumption? What mapper did this game use? Any other cool vector gsmes on NES? Is there a Famicom version?

I've been specially asked in the past not to release the rom. That may have very well changed, but it was explicitly stated last time I inquired.
Gotcha. Super-jelly though.
Only proto I ever had cost me $0.50 (LUCKY!). I really respect the effort and expense you guys go through to obtain/preserve this stuff. ]]>
