I want to make carts and restore old ones

[cbmeeks]

So I have around 25 or so CV games. Most of the labels are torn, missing, etc. So my first questions are:

 

1) Are there replacement labels for sale?

 

2) I think many labels are boring. Any new, awesome labels as well?

 

Next, I would like to make my own carts. Please understand I am NOT looking to pirate ROMS. I buy my games. The carts I want to make would hold my own creations or any ROM that I purchased legally.

 

3) I have my own EEPROM burner. What chips do I need?

 

4) Is there a blank circuit board to populate the chips in?

 

5) Are there empty cases available?

 

Please note I'm not looking for any multi-game cart. I like single games per cart. I'd like to be able to make carts from 8k to 32k.

 

Finally,

 

6) Is there anything different for making a SGM compatible cart that uses the new features? I wouldn't think so.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Long live Colecovison!!

I have boards for sale if you need them. 32K version and "halfmega" (Megacart compatible up to 512KB). They come fully assembled, and are re-programmable using most EPROM programmers.

I actually have/make labels as well. Boxes too. The process has been on hiatus for a while, but I sometimes have things in stock. I pride myself on making extremely accurate reproduction art, all redrawn, never "cleaned up".

 

5-11Under and Klaus Bakkel are the hardware experts.

 

I also do hacks, and will be posting more soon, as long as there is no copyright infringement (most original titles became orphanware).

For labels contact Pboland, Kamshaft and Phattyboombatty via PM on here.

 

For cartridge PCBs contact 5-11under or PkK. You could probably also contact CollectorVision or Team Pixelboy, but they buy theirs from 5-11under so better off going right to the source first.

 

There are a couple threads on here that cover reproduction and new labels that should prove worthwhile to search out. I seem to recall a thread detailing PkK's cart PCB and further info can be found on his website... which I don't have handy at the moment and hopefully someone can post a link.

I would be interested in illustrated labels (not just the titles)

if someone makes them

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Thanks NIAD, I meant PkK.

Now we just need someone making a Colecovision beer, and we're almost to the finish line.

I plan on parking my butt in my comfy chair, lights out, beer in hand playing Coleco this weekend. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I do this on the week days!

[cbmeeks]

I quit my job to do it full time!!

 

LOL. Joking. But wouldn't that be awesome.

Just sitting on my butt playing Coleco and swapping carts with old school games like Pepper II, DKjr, and LadyBug are good times!

Beer and CV here this weekend for sure as well. :thumbsup:

I might throw in some Magnavox Oddsey2 for good measure.

Wow! how did I miss this topic?

 

There are a few of us around here that can make labels and such. I personally have made labels for many different consoles and even floppy disks (including OD2). I have a large catalog of labels/overlays ready to print. For more info just PM me.

I think you need to take one day off for all your graphic artistry and put together a detailed MarketPlace thread that can house all your services and products that are available. Once this is done, all your fans (myself included) on here can provide people with the link to your MarketPlace thread.

I will have to give that some serious thought. I thought about maybe making a different signature with many links to my past projects. The truth is I do a lot of different things and I'm not sure if they would fit nicely in a single thread. I don't know if I've ever listed them out….

 

edited: I'll put the list in another topic.

Your label work is amazing, and I can personally vouch for the high quality!! Would love to see what other items you've produced.
