Dino #526 Posted February 15, 2012 I just printed some Boulder Dash labels and made the very first Boulder Dash cartridge! Here's a photo to to demonstrate (click the photo for a larger view): Progress! ..Al Mmmh... thanks, Al. Looks to me like we need to reduce the red just a little bit... what do you think? Also, I got the package in the mail today -- extras look great! Very nice visuals. Cheers A Pedantic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Marc Oberhäuser #535 Posted February 16, 2012 Since Al has built the first cartridge I guess it's done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert #536 Posted February 16, 2012 Since Al has built the first cartridge I guess it's done. I can get all the cartridges built in advance and when the game binary has been "finalized" I can then flash all the cartridges with the latest software. So, that first cartridge is not technically "done". But, yes, it does have a Boulder Dash circuit board and it does play Boulder Dash when I plug it into a 2600!! ..Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers A I may be as bad or worse than either of you. Example: I love the label in the render, but don't like the one in the photo... too much red as Andrew said (maybe jokingly?). hehe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Example: I love the label in the render, but don't like the one in the photo... too much red as Andrew said (maybe jokingly?). hehe That could be a number of issues: 1) the printer may need adjusting 2) the lighting the photo was taken under 3) the wood background causing the camera to improperly white balance.

True, I thought of including those explanations in my post but decided against it, as I felt it would detract from the overall anality. I thought I made up a word there with "anality," but I just looked it up and it's in the Mirriam-webster dictionary!

Thomas Jentzsch #547 Posted March 7, 2012 Coding is done and resulting cart currently reviewed by FSS, boxes are done and on their way, manual is in the final stages, I have realistic(?) hopes for a start of shipping this month. Then it should go pretty fast. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
