Heres a little project i have been working on and am thrilled to say is finally finished! These are REPRODUCTIONS of the Very Rare Donkey Kong Competition Cartridge and The Star Fox Super Weekend Cart. They both play exactly like the originals Except with a big time makeover lol.
For those of you who do not know ........the DK comp Cart and Star Fox Super Weekend Cart were the Rare Blockbuster Exclusive Carts only available if you got them from a store, plus i believe you might have been able to order them from Nintendo Power back in the day. The normal carts normally fetch over $300 a piece and are very Rare.
Anyways since these are reproductionss i wanted to make them totally different than the originald so no one would think of copies or anything like that, so i custom painted the carts myself. (My dad owns a Auto body shop so i was able to use the best of the best paints and supplies) I painted the DK Cart Banana Yellow and The Back of the Cart like a Jungle Green. And the Star Fox was painted a Metallic Dark Blue. They were applied with RM Automotive paint and covered in a base coat clear coat application, which is some of the best paint there is. Wont chip or anything. They came out great and defintly a Unique set of carts to add to the collection and i wanted to share with everyone how they came out.
And last but certainly not least the Real Thanks and brains behind making the reproductions was my good buddy Quan (ShadowKn55). Hes a genious when it comes to homebrewing and the work he put into the cart was insane. like 7 EPROMS and about 100 wires were ran to make the carts play. Thanks again Dude. And also Dan (OCDSteeldor) Got me the label scans from his personally owned real copies of both of these carts, and a big thanks goes out to him as well. Thanks again guys!
Enjoy !
