    Hi to test my theory if the person bidding was also the seller I asked the "high bidder" a question about the shipping costs. Here is my questions I asked to "duckster167" (the current high bidder)

    Dear duckster167,

     

    question about "Video game collector's: I HAVE THEM ALL!!!" What would shipping to LA be for this item? Thanks,

    I agree with everything you said, Nintendo was the 800 pound gorilla in the market place and so they could insure their profitability from the consumer and the 3rd-party developers (charging them three times what it cost to produce the chips and regulating that they could only produce two games a year).

     

    I don't want to use old CIC chips because they varied so much over the lifetime of their manufacturing, plus there is a "ship in the bottle" sort of challenge in making the chip that Atari and all other third-party developers failed to make. The question that remains to be answered is "is it legal". The last thing I want is Nintendo breathing down my next over a small run of art games.

     

    Do you know if the CIC varied from board to board depending on the memory map locations?

    Hi Actually,

    I have read this, it is really only good for disabling the NES console itself but not replicating the actual lockout (or more importantly spoofing the lock-key algorithm) chip. I am interested in making a limited number of home-brew Nintendo games without having to butcher old games for their lock-out chips. This is why I am looking for info on the 10nes. I know that people have made carts with 5-volt stun circuits (color dreams etc.) but later versions of the NES were un-stunable. So I think the best approach is to try to compete directly with the 10NES.

    Does anyone know what the exact document number was used for the 10nes copyright? I must assume that after twenty years it should have expired by now. I was able to find the patent on the 10nes chip design but not the source-code.

     

    Does anyone have the source to the 10nes or the rabbit chip?

    when i bought my comics i would only buy at comic stores because they dont have the barcodes,and ive never read them,  i wouldnt walk out of comic shop without being bagged with the backing cardboard

     

    This mentality is pretty much why comics are worthless from that period. It used to be that comics were valuable because they had a compelling story or marked a turning point in the various comic universe; not because they came with a limited edition, cover, card, poster, pin back, etc.

     

    My suggestion is to use all comics from the 90's as kitty litter and only buy and collect comics that have some intrinsic value and not because they are destined to be financial investments.

    Hi,

    I recently won this auction:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=6137556675

     

    I have never seen one of these before and I thought some others would like to see the images on this view master disc. I hopefully will get a stereoscopic projector so that I can project it and take better photographs but these will do for the mean time. Has anyone ever seen another one of these discs? How rare do you think they are?

     

    Thanks,

    Mark
