Bump! Added prices and new items, doubt these will last very long!

[MrMark0673]

Debug moved to Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=140332413606

 

The protos will probably follow soon if no one is interested in making an offer, though I'd much rather sell them on the forums. Keep those offers coming!

[MrMark0673]

Last bump with one final price reduction:

 

Take either proto for $175 shipped OBO

Take the pair for $315 OBO

 

Probably as low as I can go, next stop is EBay!

[Tempest]

Did you ever dump these?

Nope, but I wish I could have. I've got a CopyNES for NES protos, I have an SNES programmer for SNES protos, and I have an EPROM programmer that dumps just about any loose chips I can throw at it. All EPROMs are soldered on these protos, and I have no other means of dumping 5200 stuff. I dump every proto that comes through my hands when I can (at around 50 cart based protos now, I think 8ish unreleased games), but I didn't have the means to do these two.

 

 

 

On the plus side, anyone can buy them and dump them as they are currently on EBay!

If mods think this should be moved to the auction forum, feel free to do so. Also, don't be afraid to make offers!

Hmm, are you sure they aren't the eyelet style socket that are practically flush with the board? They were very common for 5200 protos.

One of them is, the middle pic.

Fairly sure they don't. I have a TON of NES proto boards with those flush mount sockets that I picked up in a lot with Kitty's Catch, so I'm familiar with what they look like in person. I could check, but you be honest I'm not a pro at opening up 5200 carts yet and I don't want to risk snapping them as they're already up for auction.

Are you looking at the gold on those eyelets? Doesn't look like any that I have, mine have a different color surround:

 

 

Most of the ones I've come across can be seen clearly even if chips are placed, like the red you can see on one of my empty proto boards. They easily could be, but it didn't jump out at me.

[Wickeycolumbus]

Hmmm... I bet I could build an adapter to dump these with my 2600 dumper. Are there any 5200 games larger than 32K?

[MrMark0673]

Curiosity got the better of me, so I popped open Looney Tunes Hotel.

 

Bottom two chips are socketed with flush mounts, the top 2 are hard wired. Not worth my time to dump half a game

 

I'm not looking to get these dumped currently, just looking for a sale. I release one free proto ROM dump a month over on NA, and I love the idea of preservation, but I'll leave these two to the buyer(s).

If you do dump those two chips and they turn out to be different from the lower 16K for the ROM floating around, you may be able to get more money

With people charging $1k+ for dumps of released games already, I'm not down with trying to squeeze more money from people. I figure about $200 a piece for unreleased games is a fair deal, I wouldn't think twice about accepting an offer for that price on either game.
