GameReproductions.com Shut Down?

[wingzrow]

Site doesn't seem to be up any longer. Anyone know what happened?

[Edmond Dantes]

Could it possibly just be a server error?

[old_skoolin_jim]

Oh no! I hope not... I was hoping to order a few items from them while I still could. I'd love to have a cart version of Mother and Adventure Island 4... Not to mention Sweet Home.

... Why not just get a flash cart? It's cheaper. :|

It's happened before. I'd wait a couple days before panicking.

Doesn't look as cool and there is more work involved in loading up a game and saving files. Initial loading time is why I prefer a region switch for my Saturn and a mod chip for my Dreamcast; I hate dealing with extended startup time for imports.

Anyway, the site is probably just down for now. Stay calm, play something else until you can order.

They shut down because they rehashed old game ideas as opposed to making new game ideas.......

[MarioMania]

I'm getting

"Install Real Shopping Cart"

Interspire

[substantial_snake]

.....and they have yet to fill my order from around July...awesome..

Based on a cache of the page, they should be back soon.

Oh lame, I hope they come back soon.

Solution:

Pretty sure that's done by a forum member here. I'm not sure how pricing compares to that downed site but it's 25$US per game shipped with this still running site. Only thing is you need to send a donor cart for every game you want made.

But then you can't sell them on ebay for a quick profit....

I would also get a flash cart instead. People complain when prototypes aren't backed up in case the data disappears, but these repros are made the same way and could die just as easily. If they were factory produced ROM chips like old bootlegs are then that would be cool. It's the same deal with bootleg DVD sets, some stuff that isn't officially available looks good but they're just on DVD-Rs so I wouldn't bother with them either.

Necrosaro420 runs gamereproductions. Try sending him a PM. Not sure if he ever comes here anymore, but it's worth a shot.

nesreproductions is run by our own leonk, who doesn't really post here anymore. He's awesome.

billysomething (handle escapes me) runs thenesdump. Another great repro site.

Same, I got Tales of Phantasia I'm waiting on. He said it's finished and it's one of the next to be shipped off but I haven't got it, this was two weeks ago.

This website is working again, so there's nothing to worry about, there was recent news that he was going to work on the website and there would be changes, I believe the downtime was simply from that. The site is a tad different now. It works again, so not to worry.

Does anyone have any experience with this site? I remember seeing it before, a couple of years ago, so if it's still around, he's doing something right.

I was interested in maybe getting Seiken Densetsu 3 and Bahamat Lagoon. Just wondering how people have enjoyed the reproductions on their actual systems and whatnot.

[WesternNYCollector]

Did this website optionally sell universal game cases with covers for the reproduction carts in the past or am I thinking of a different one?

I considered buying a Star Fox 2 repro a while ago but then I watched a complete playthrough on YouTube and decided I would probably like the first game better anyway, although that map screen is just buckets of awesome.

I am very pleased with 4 NES repros from there. They are:

FDS Super Mario Bros. 2
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy III (no longer available due to the extra work heeheehee; lucky me)
Galaxian

I do have the impression that gamereproductions.com isn't entirely on the level, and nesreproductions.com is indeed the way to go. (It's little things like not properly getting the permission of the hackers. I could be mistaken.)
