Hey guys.
I have been looking into making an other NTRQ cartridge run and I wanted to know if any one is interested?
After getting on to a few suppliers it looks like I can only have a VERY limited number of copies so il taking pre orders.
The plan is a NTRQ V1.8 cartridge with lable coming in an universal game cases with custom art work for 35 dollars and the option to add a clear cartridge case for an extra 5 dollars.
Let me know who is interested and il start putting something together.
PAL?
We can sort it out for you.
But it might cost A little bit more, about 5 dollars more.
Sounds pretty rockin'.. How long would production time be (roughly)?
How would you handle the sram? Anyway to backup songs?
Production time will depend on a few things. I say 2-3 weeks but that could change
for example if you were just looking for a grey PAL NTRQ cart it would be much quickier!
As for backing up SRAMs you would have to send your cartridge back to me. I would back it up and send it to you via email, Then ship the cartridge back to you. Or you try and find someone close to you with a copyNES system.
Sweet, I'll probably just opt for the grey PAL version to save some time on turnaround. I'll have to hit you up for one next pay week 
I'll even put money down before-hand if you need some.
Make that 2 of us.
OK I have some news, At first I was planning to use donor carts to make these but NTRQ runs on a SNROM (MMC1) and all the games that use that board are pretty rare and I don't want to destroy large quantities of them even if is for a good cause.
So i'm going to produce brand new copys of NTRQ, This will make things a little more complicated as making them from scratch is going to cost a lot more! On the up side it will be a much better quality product also every copy will come with a clear case and will have full region support!
I have some parts on their way now for a few copies just to test every thing out. I'm still sorucing parts so I don't have all the number just yet so I can't confirm a price, But i'm hoping to make them for about 40-45 dollars. do you think that is reasonable?
I will keep you guys up dated and I will have a full product description up soon.
How legal is this shit?
100% Neil gave me permission to make copys of NTRQ when it first came out, I will let him know of my plans to make more
im sure he will be fine with it.
That reminds me of the first lot of NTRQ carts I was giving 5 dollars from every sale to cancer research (by Neils request)
Im not sure if im going to be able to factor that in to the price this time, But I will encourage everone to donate.
If you havn't all ready you can donate at his website: http://blog.ntrq.net/?page_id=68
Shouldn't you check with Neil before changing the terms of your deal? How hard is it to stick $5 at the end of the price really?

There was no deal he simply allowed me to make the copys unconditionally, I just gave the 5 dollar as a gesture to neil.
Also I havn't set anything in stone, Because im making brand new copies there is a lot of new costs.
I may still give the 5 dollar per sale but im just trying to keep the carts at a reasonable price.
Believe me im more then happy to stick 5 dollar onto the price for neil, if everyone is happy to pay it?
