Liscensing is acquired and assembly has begun. Projected launch is around October 20th (crossing my fingers). My new black shells have arrived and labels are arriving tomorrow. I will share the website URL here first and keep it exclusive to this thread for about a week to allow you fine folks to have first dibs on the shell color you want. (donor grey or new black) 



Count me in!!!

If I recall correctly, I thought someone had made a little adaptor that can plug into the expansion port on the bottom of the NES to enable expansion sound. This was a consumer friendly solution that got around the necessity to mod the system.

 
I think that was Muramasa.  Maybe it was RetroUSB or Infinite NES Lives.  

 
I know for a fact Paul at INL has made a similar product that was very reasonably priced.  Maybe reach out to him  .

I'm currently mulling over changing the artwork to remove the iconic but Trademarked "The Legend of Zelda" logo. Anyone have thoughts? Does it still look 'Zelda-like' enough? Do you know of any fan releases that have used this sort of logo with no issues? Basically trying to see if this is overkill or if the best move. 

Currently looking into mechanical licensing to be as legal as possible. It turns out licensing is very expensive for 30 tracks and will make it very difficult to break out of the red, but it is the only way I can think of to help ensure the project doesn't get pulled by the big N. Some changed art below. 


 

I think it looks great and gets the point across.  Very excited for a cart release.

  Looks like the one I’m talking about is called an ENIO exp board:

Wow! Great project. I would love to join in on a couple cart purchases of this. I must also say you have most excellent taste in CRTs with the Hello Kitty and PVM you're rolling.

A possible solution for more complicated tracks could be to use an old C64 trick that people used to do where they made a Left and Right version of a song and then played both back at the same time using 2 C64s and 2 sets of speakers. It made for some outlandishly awesome SID tunes. I'm sure folks here would love to roll 2 NESs and 2 of your carts to accomplish something similar (I know I would).

Thank you! I am a bit of a PVM/BVM geek. I'm about to get my RGB NES up and running soon as a matter of fact. Can't wait for crisp scanline NES goodness.

And yes, I keep my trusty hello kitty crt as a sanity check. Keeping a consumer tube around is ideal for seeing what the average person might see on their screen.

While dual NES would be sick, keeping them in sync and such woud not be as easy as a SID2SID setup (Which I usually rock with a MSSIAH and Cynthcart rig. I have a dual 6581 breadbin and a dual 8580 c64C).

For complex stuff, I actually had MMC5 on my radar (maybe later down the line). I have a few Laser Invasion carts to mess about with and see if the two extra pulse channels will work for another release. Bad news is I think the user would have to mod their NES to hear the extra MMC5 channels on a US NES.
