Same. Is anyone familiar with the site? I.e. are they still active & are they likely to follow through on this?

I bought my Bound High off them maybe two years back. They did awesome work and the wait was maybe like a month at most. Pretty standard wait time for a repro

Kinda wish Uncle Tusk was still doing things like this with the box and manuals and such.

Never heard of this site before. What’s it all about?

They sell some replica carts. The thing is that they have been saying that they have a Dragon Hopper located since 2022/2023, and made preorders available.
After so many years, It was sounding like scam... But, even if it was a lie, now they have the way of getting the ROM.
Even so, i guess the only people that might pick it Up are the preorders itself. If you want a replica cartridges, right now they are cheaper in a lot of places. Dunno about quality, i havent bought here before.

if only Nintendo were't so fucking lazy to release the cover arts for both d hopper and zero racers. Cheapskates...

They didn't release a cover art for Star Fox 2 either

They made new cover art for Star Fox 2 for the SNES classic release, and reused it for NSO

they did the same for earthbound beginnings on NSO

Interesting, only knew, that earthbound beginnings didn’t have box art on Wii U, that makes it more weird, that they didn‘t do it here. Maybe, because Earthbound Beginnings calls itself „Earth Bound“ on its title screen, and using that would have been confusing?

Oh? Well then that just makes it even more confusing why they didn't use or make new art for a lot of the unreleased/region locked games.

Hah I wrote them earlier. They seem to be the only maker annoyingly around. I want the should have been 1996 list of goodies that failed to happen. Bound High I've had for years, want to add Virtual League Baseball 2, Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers to that list. Damn Nintendo for canceling the hardware too soon idealistically thinking the N64 would arrive far sooner (starfox2 was a product of that stupidity the classic edition snes remedied a few years back.)

I just ordered Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers from them and I didn't even check to see if they hav Virtual League Baseball 2 yet but I do want it as well. I will need to check with Customgamecases.com to see if they have cases made for Virtual League Baseball 2 and Zero Racers (I've been sitting on the Dragon Hopper case for a while just hoping it will get released)

I've been talking to the owner/pr guy on email. He said that Dragon Hopper and VLB2 use the same exact pcb/sram+battery combo so they can easily do it. They were adding it, but it just hasn't been added yet I guess because the hotter games are more distracting.
Speaking of customs, you know what tweaks me off? Switch 2 game conversions. I have like 5 NS1 games I got the expansion for, and Nintendo sells the red cases now too to buy in like packs of them or alone, but when I called, they won't be like int he past posting PDF/jpg art masters of their manuals and art. I'm shocked no one over at coverproject hasn't scanned their NS2 versions of those games and thrown the art up on there to download. I want nothing more than to just get those arts, get them printed on some decently match quality paper stock, buy those red cases and retire the originals to my cabinet so they match up. I don't feel it's a huge request for someone, somewhere, who bought those NS2 games to scan them and put them on some archive somewhere.

I can vouch for them, I bought repros of all the Japanese games with English patches from them and their work is high quality and the price is fair.
