It is a hack of an old commercial game though, so I'm not sure it is something that should really be sold. However you can get bespoke carts made though the AA store and by other AA users.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

 

I was a bit concerned after seeing the Super Community video which had overscan and a black colour change in the display area on the right:

 

 

The amount of overscan will vary depending on the TV/monitor - yours looks about perfect!

 

My LCD monitor is not bad, a tiny amount on the left:

 

 

My CRT monitor and LDC TV both show a bit more overscan on the left:

 

 

 

I do not see the black colour change at all.

 

In Altirra, if I configure for extended or full overscan, then I can see the overscan on the right as expected. However I still don't see the black colour change.

Yeah...I didn’t notice any overscan on my CRT. I’ll have to try it on my LCD to see how it looks.  
 

Thanks again. This is the Moon Patrol we’ve all been waiting for.👍

Maybe it should be called Moon Patrol Arcade, like Tep392's Pac-Man Arcade. 

 

Is there a Redux edition label?
