Rick Weis Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Andrew, when i sent you the money for the "recall" i was not thinking about the "collectable" of the bugged QB! i just didn't want to see you LOSE money off this!! like when Chad made the cuttle cart he also had a recall. i sent him the money to cover the cost of it, just because he (like you) made something for the greatest system ever!! (well.... in my mind) and we all make mistakes, and when we make mistakes, it can cost a hell of a lot for 1 person or a very little cost for a hell of a lot of people! i think 6 bucks sounds very little! please keep the money i sent even if it was more then you are asking! and hope you will keep making more games in the future!! Take Care, Rick PS: just in case those are collectable please send me both boards! hehe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 i'm also sending a bit more .... you really deserve the extra for not loosing your will to finish a perfect Qb and it's delivery. thumbs up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonlightKnight Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I ,too, have offered him more money for this. Of course, I would like to get both versions, but I left it up to him to set the price. I don't want to short change him for me getting something extra, so whatever he feels is fair is fine by me. And besides, if he sends the new "debugged" version to me as just a PCB and label the he doesn't have to spend the extra time putting it together. I can do that myself! BTW, Andrew, thanks again for letting me in on this! I'm really glad I got on the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 An extra $6 is no biggie. You're quite right Andrew, I'd like both and the extra cost is minimal. Cheers man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I want to both version, please the fixed version complete in case and with Lable. And the bug version without anything. Thanks if you do it. I pay more for it (I already have send you to much, so you must not give me all rest back, only US$30). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted March 7, 2002 Author Share Posted March 7, 2002 OK, I've posted a recall notice to all purchasers. This details the steps I'm taking and what options are available to purchasers. In summary, nobody is asked to pay extra money to receive what they originally paid for. Just sit back and wait, and you will receive a bug-fixed cartridge or board. I have offered those people who would ONLY be receiving the new (fixed) version the option of paying $6 to instead own the buggy AND fixed version. Anyway, if you were a purchaser, you SHOULD have received an email from me. If not, please contact me in a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Hi, at the start of this topic Andrew posted the following message: "Note the small sticker on each - this is because each is individually serial-numbered in the ROM itself, so they have to be identified for insertion into the correct box." I played my "Qb" cartridge for some hours already, but never saw the individual number of my cartridge somewhere in the game. Is it only hidden somewhere in the deeper dungeons of the ROM or can the number be watched somehow/somewhen? Just wondering... Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Nope, the number is just in the rom code itself and doesn't appear visually when playing the game. Even though this is a limited run of 100 carts, that single byte difference makes each one unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Yes, so have I understand it too. Only in the code, but not in the gameplay. So there is no easteregg where you can see the number. There was an other game, where you can see the Number, one version from Crazy Valet (the first) if I not wrong. So you can only found the number, when you dump the ROM.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 quote: Originally posted by MattyXB: So you can only found the number, when you dump the ROM. Actually you'd have to dump two ROMs and compare them to find the difference. Or Andrew is telling the address... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I think that my copy of "EdTris" contains a visible unique number, too. I currently don't know if any other homebrew does...have to check that. "Mental Kombat" will contain the limited number in the intro aswell (#00 to #99). I don't know if I'll just erase that routine for the unlimited cartridges of MK2600 or replace the numbers by an "unlimited sign" (that symbol looking like an "8" which is roted by 90 degrees). What would you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Just make it say "NA" (for "not applicable"; "n/a" is even better if you can do that) if you're using chars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted March 21, 2002 Author Share Posted March 21, 2002 Just a quick update. The replacement ROM binary is in the hands of the manufacturer (Randy from Hozer Video) and when he has delivered the 100 replacement boards I shall recommence deliveries. The status page www.2headed.com/qbstatus.txt has been updated to show receipt dates for those units I've been notified about. Mostly I've had enthusiastic comments from the proud owners. Once again, apologies for the delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Andrew: my box arrived february, 27th (if I do remember that right). Did I really forget about letting you know when it arrived? Looking forward to your next update and good luck with the new carts! Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 Replacement boards have been manufactured and are en-route to me. As soon as they arrive, I will recommence deliveries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san-d-2000 Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Hi Andrew, Mine arrived on the 10th of March. cheers, Sandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridenmy65 Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 I know I am way behind on this special edition package deal here. But, is there one available for me to purchase?? apatti@cox.net is my email address. Angelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 Replacement boards for Qb have arrived, and I will recommence deliveries this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted April 29, 2002 Author Share Posted April 29, 2002 Those following the status page will have noticed that I've reached the halfway point in deliveries. It's been a long, long haul but I'm getting there. Never give up I've placed the final unclaimed Qb (#36) on eBay with no minimum bid (well, $1) and no reserve. If you always wanted one, or want a second, then this is your chance. I'll even pay the postage. Thank you once again to everyone for their patience. And please remember when your Qb arrives to let me know so I can update the records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
