Many fans out there ask me if I could release the Final Revision A rom ...
Since no cart release is planned anymore, I wanted peoples enjoy this version
If you want to get the REV.A rom file, here's how to do it:
Simply contact me by mail about the REV.A rom and I'll give you the instructions


Here's the changes that feature the Classic REV.A Edition:

-Made enemies speed up on higher levels (level 64 is now hardest level)
-Added music for all intermissions
-Added code for red fireball bounce sound
-Added code for green fireball sound
-Added attract mode tables and functionality
-Modified player and enemy wraparound to occur at x>248 (no more fully offscreen)

Hi,

so does that mean Mario Bros is also available for the folks that didn't get to buy a cartridge ?
If that is the case, would you accept a small fee for getting the ROM file?
I mean, for sure you got quite some costs for getting the game programmed.

And I think it's nice to further support such projects

I'm in. I'd be glad to pay a fee for the ROM. Saw the vids on YouTube, and the games looks fantastic!

Is the Mario Bros. rom that was included in AtariMax's CV Ultimate SD cart the revised version?  Or has it been updated since the SD cart's release?

Errmmm - did you receive the rom file?  J-F, have you now sent the rom to those who paid - if so, then you missed me!!!

[evg2000]

I too amy confused by Madaracs post, I have not received a copy of the ROM either.

[phattyboombatty]

Is the Rev. A ROM file still available? I bought one of the last red carts and as much as I love it, I'd be thrilled to see an even more complete experience! Do those who've purchased the cart get a discount on the ROM, perchance?  

[Dennis Stith]

I sent you an email but no response, pm no response. I've been looking all over the net and can't find the ROM.

Is there any alternative? $130 is a lot to pay just to acquire one 32kb rom file.  I would buy the Atarimax SD but I just like the carts I currently have and use those, so I haven't really needed it.  It doesn't seem like it would make common sense to spend that much at this point.

Mario Bros is not a 32K rom  .... it's a 128K Rom file wich is only compatible with Bank-Switching PCB  (MegaCart)

$130 is really cheap for this wonderfull peace of hardware

The question is, why would you want the rom file if you prefer the actual cart?

Unfortunately, no alternative option to date and $130 for the AtariMax Ultimate SD Cart with the Mario Bros. Rev A. (FULL GAME) and Mr. Chin (FULL GAME) rom files is far cheaper than any other option currently available....

Original Mario Bros CIB recently sold for some $300 on eBay the other day
A couple MB Rev. A CIBs sold for $300 last month
If Mr. Chin CIB showed up on eBay, it would probably go for between $250-$300

So, at least with the AtariMax SD Cart, you get the game roms as well and then can download all the original CV game roms and a good number of the Homebrews game roms and put them on the SD Cart to play on the CV.

[TMOSteel]

Wait, so the Atarimax cart has the revised Mario Bros. ROM? Back in 2010 you posted it wasn't the same ROM as the REV.A:
