  1. this is just my speculation, but if people are turning in thier old thrusts to get thrust platinum, MAYBE you could talk someone into paying full price for thrust platinum (bling bling) and offer to pay HALF of the price on thrust platinum.. that way they would still get the discount, and you would get the cart only game for a cheaper price than box and all

    I'm sorry, I read that several times and the best I could come up with was "Huh?"

     

    Do people have to turn in old Thrust carts to be able to buy Thrust Platinum?


  2. BTW: I have one request for your project. If you insist on calling it the CCU and using material from it, please include the original credits from the CCU manual, as Thomas, Chad, Rick, et.al. provided alot of help. It was ALOT of work and one of my babies. Thomas provided the original PAL to NTSC conversions for the project. I would also like to have a copy of your finished product  8)

    That's two requests :D

     

    But seriously, I always intended to include the original credits, though I specifically intend to not use the art that was created for the packaging.

     

    At the moment there looks like there will be distinctly two different versions. The CDA version is a direct copy of the original CCU, just on 8cm discs with new art. The MP3 version is all new with the only thing from the original being the name. It's going slowly, so hopefully anyone who wants to comment should have ample time before any sort of release.


  3. Have you asked the other homebrew authors for their permission? I am sure you will get it by most of them but you shouldn't risk adding any modern homebrews without the authors permission.

     

    BTW: You hereby get mine. :)

     

    Respectively: No, good idea and thanks! :D

     

    Just an update: Alpha versions of MP3 edition will be available after I've determined permission for each of the homebrew titles and sorted out SC compatibility. Alpha versions will be cheap and will be used as much for testing payment and shipping as they will for testing the games.

     

    Beta versions will be available once I've sorted out an attractive case. I still can't find anyone that can supply me with a DVD-style case for 8cm media.

     

    Hopefully version 1.0 will be available some time before the heat death of the universe. :D


  4. You would have to create two different sets of CDs, one with SC encoding and one with CC encoding.

     

    Or, for the MP3 version, simply have a Supercharger folder with all the 4k ROMs encoded for it -- there's plenty of room. Anyone got exact details on what can and can't be made to run on a SC just so I make the most of that directory?

     

    While we're talking inclusions, none of the SC games on Stella Gets a New Brain will be included (I forget what the reason is, but I'm fairly sure it's a good one) and Skeleton and Skeleton+ won't be included by request of the author. Does anyone else know of any games that should not be included?


  5. Looks like centipede also has the same problem.

     

    And Boing! and Boxing don't appear to have ROMs even though I have them in my collection (and Boxing is in the 32-in-1 if I recall). Unfortunately I only have the MP3 encoded versions with me at the moment.

     

    I bet you can't guess what I'm doing at the moment... :D


  6. I am sorry if this is a stupid question, and I don't have either hardware item in question, but i these were kept as music CDs, not MP3s, would they be usable on a Starpath Superchager?  It seems to be quite a bit more common, and I had planned on getting one eventually.  If these can work on a Supercharger, definately count me in!

     

    I think that 4k ROMs can be loaded onto a modified supercharger, but I'm not sure.

     

    Try here http://home.earthlink.net/~resqsoft/wtw.htm for an answer.

     

    Also, MP3s or CD audio, they're still audio files to be played at a CC or SS, the question is whether or not you have a standalone MP3 CD player...


  7. For anyone wondering what I'm referring to when I talk of the case that the GBA player boot disc comes in, here is a pic.

     

    (I started a thread asking for help here:

    http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30218)

     

    Ideally I'd like a version of this case that accepts two or three discs, or a full-sized DVD style case that can cope with all six discs of the audio version of the CCU Jnr. So if anyone has any clues, I'd be most interested.

  8. Need some help?

    Quite possibly. If anyone feels like making MP3s from any of the ROMs on AA, particularly any ROMs new in the last 12 months or so, with full tag details, PM me and I'll give you an address you can email to. Feel free to use this thread to announce titles you intend to work on so no one duplicates your work needlessly...

     

    No promises that a product will come out at the other end, but if it does anyone that emails me usable files will be in the credits.

     

    The only rules I can think of is that the files must be 44.1kHz, 128k/s mono and the file name should be start with the game name then any other information that identifies the varient should be in successive square brackets. Eg: Escape from Blah [sears][PAL].mp3.

     

    Oh, and no Starpath games that were on Stella Gets a New Brain. :)

     

    Cool. Feels like a real project again.
