Rose Colored Happenings

Exactly! No reason that we can't have customshells for a large number of games out there and swapping them doesn't even mean destroying an original copy. Heck, it'll let you preserve the original shell/label all that much longer



Got it! Replying now...

Hey dude I know you posted this a few hours ago but I actually havent gotten a reply, maybe it didn't go through?

Out of respect to retrogaming stores, game developers, and growing legal concerns, discussion about the obtaining of illegal ROMs is prohibited. Illegal ROMs are defined as any ROM, regardless of age, that has been copyrighted in the past 100 years. Threads discussing the location or acquiring of ROMs and/or illegal (pirated) software will be locked per the discretion of a forum moderator or administrator. To avoid legal issues, "gray area" threads dealing with emulation may also be locked. As companies continue to release retro games through virtual releases or retro gaming packs for modern gaming systems, the threat of getting a cease-and-desist order grows. In order to preserve the gaming community we've all worked so hard to build, we ask that you respect Digital Press and refrain from the discussion of illegal ROMs.

Yeah, about that.

I've reviewed this thread several times over and I'm not seeing where there is discussion of ROMs, hotlinks to ROM files, etc. am I missing something?

As far as the rest of the thread, as it has been since the beginning, just stick to showcasing the product/process and not turning this into a "shop" thread and we're good as far as I'm concerned.

[wiggyx]

And that's exactly what I will continue to do; promote the site and what I'm offering, nothing more.

Thank you.

[needler420]

From the time I made my post he went and edited his and deleted the copyright infringement part. Now he's legit as he's only offering custom modding services and not anything with copyrighted material.

Which is the zelda repros and the branded Nintendo labels he was using. Even though there was no discussion of ROMS he was trying to sell them illegaly since he doesn't have a proper licence.

All he did was dump a ROM on a cartridge and slap a label on it.

Like I said he got shut down on cheapassgamer.


Some peple are too stupid to realize a repro made without a proper license is no different then downlaoding roms and emulators to your PC. All he did was put them on a cartridge instead and slap a label on from a laser printer.

Well.. needler420 you certainly seem to have a strong opinion of it.

I think wiggyx has shown nothing but enthusiasm and good will in his projects so far. I do agree that the developer of the ROM should get a part of the profits, but I feel your post may be overly aggressive and there are better ways to make your point.

Well, if the offending material has been willingly removed, I don't see a problem.

Promotion and sale of rom-dumps on donor cartridges is a troublesome gray area for sure. Wiggy, per our policies, it's best to keep the business of those carts relegated to your own site.

Let's leave it at that and not ruin all the great stuff in this thread.

[wiggyx]

No prob!

FINALLY got around to the new faceplate designs today. Let me hear some feedback here, on the blog, FB, wherever

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Looking forward to seeing some faceplates in person at The Digital Press store!

DP'ers local to the store/NAVA regulars be sure to keep an eye out!

[wiggyx]

After reading your interview I noticed something funny, I too take everything apart that i get and hope it doesnt break! I took apart my Game Boy original the other day to try to see if I could do some sort of mod like you and others do but realized I hadnt even thought of what mod to do, I just wanted to open it up to see how it works hahaha.

I actually just came from there and same the featured article, congrats wiggy! Glad to see you getting recognized for the great work you do!

[Nesboy43]

When the GB Micro came out, the faceplates it actually came with were all pretty poorly done. These faceplate designs alone would've convinced me to get one, the Pokémon starters are great. Venusaur is my favorite of the designs, but I am biased since I always choose Bulbasaur in the original games. I think the plates do a good job of representing Pokémon and making it stylish but being subtle at the same time. For example, it isn't bright and all over the place like a lot of the official Pokémon merch (40+ creatures on one shirt).

Enjoyable read on the interview, glad you shed some light as to why your packaging is so freaking amazing.

[wiggyx]

Thanks guys!

[vrikkgwj]

Yup. Just waiting on those Zelda carts to go live.

[wiggyx]

So I made a batch of Retrobright for a customer's Wonderswan the other day. I was skeptical, but I'm a believer now, needless to say.

[wiggyx]

Up for grabs!
