^^^ this, basically.
The game's done and it's been done, I finished it back in march just after the competition cart was completed. The music is really the only thing keeping me from releasing it. As it stands now, the music is god awful to to the point where it'd be better to just disable it. I can't add in the awesome music engine that was posted to nintendo age because there isn't enough space in the ROM. I've been tempted to write some sort of demoscene NES ROM just so i can write a new sound engine, but we'll see.
I haven't been able to get in touch with bratwurst since april or so, that keeps me from doing much with the rom.
I also have no idea what's going on with the "real" bio force ape rom. That whole thing left me with a sour taste. I don't think there was any reason to keep me out of the loop and outright lie to me just so 1up could have their exclusive dog and pony show.
