I like NA a lot so, when I find something interesting I will post it here. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=41287 2010-12-31T14:19:48 -05.00 VGS_MrMark0673 22 Originally posted by: hedgehog2489

I now understand.

Good luck!

Sorry, just re-read what I posted and it came off well different than I had planned.  Seemed rude, totally didn't mean it that way.

First off, the fact that your willing to front even a small bit of cash to preserve protos rocks, wish more people were willing to go that far for preservation.  I get fired up at the community dump idea as it seems an easy way for a prototype owner to recoup their costs associated with buying the proto without having to give anything up.  They should either release it or not, but not expect cash in exchange.

Matt and I have at least 2 protos we were planning on releasing this weekend, but our retrode is being super temperamental, so it may have to wait.  I'm a huge supporter of releasing ROMs and hope that i can continue to do so.

As for not releasing this ROM, it's not entirely impossible.  If I don't find a buyer who is willing to buy it at a fair price, I'd more than likely release the ROM and move onto the next game.

Anyway, sorry for coming off horribly rude in my last post.  Welcome to NA and hope we see you more in this sub-forum!

It won't be released by me because I'm looking to sell it, the new owner can do as they wish with it. I dump and release stuff I plan on keeping in my collection, this just isn't one of those games. I'd much prefer selling it and using the money to fund another prototype purchase that would likely get released. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=41287 2010-12-31T13:43:38 -05.00 VGS_MrMark0673 22
Shame it won't be released. If there where the chance of making a fundraiser just for it's ROM release I would try to promote it everywhere (I would donate, but it will be a tiny amount since I am at college and don't have a job yet). ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=41287 2010-11-25T17:09:12 -05.00 VGS_MrMark0673 22 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=41287 2010-11-23T23:46:42 -05.00 VGS_MrMark0673 22 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=41287 2010-11-12T12:14:40 -05.00 VGS_MrMark0673 22 ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=41287 2010-11-11T10:35:04 -05.00 VGS_MrMark0673 22 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=41287 2010-11-11T07:03:51 -05.00 VGS_MrMark0673 22

In this particular prototype that I recently released, only the king graphics there are corrupt.  It was tough to find and not immediately obvious.  Even a single byte wrong in a pointer (which could be the case in this Yoshi's Cookie prototype) could mess up things.  In the prototype of Battle Blaze (above), it was only a section of 5 tiles that were corrupt, and it would have probably went unnoticed if it weren't for the fact that the uncorrupt prototype ROM image was leaked years ago.
