Title: The definitive Reproduction creator list.
Post by: zapiy on July 05, 2014, 17:30:43 PM
Ok i am fairly new to this repro scene so lets create a definitive list of creators.

Please add the ones you know and i will update the list. :113:

RetroZone makes NES and SNES repros and some Homebrews.

Clarky_N64 makes repros for NES and Mega CD. 

http://www.gamereproductions.com (//http)
It's a one man operation so the response time is sometimes worrisome.  Can't complain about the quality.

RetroZone not only makes repros but also new homebrews for the Nintendo  systems.

I've bought stuff from http://www.gamereproductions.com (//http)

It'd be interesting to know which vendors also offer custom reproduction services.  Meaning, you give them the ROM and labels and they do the rest.

Good idea! I'm pretty new to repros as well, I only have two of them. From what I've seen so far the quality and price are great and it's really cool people are doing this. There's a member here who does them too, @RetroFox

Thanks for posting this.  The prices are not bad either.

Emotive issue, I know, but is there any interest in Jaguar repro's?

With some titles being rare and expensive, I'm sure there would be interest.  The question is, just how large of a market would there be for them.

Very true - the jag market isn't going to be that big, but to be honest, the scalping that takes place on some sales is bordering on the ridiculous, especially as a collector who wants to play the titles on real hardware. I may be in a position to do this on a small scale in the not too distant future.

Okay, testing is complete and everything is good to go - just waiting for my cart shells to arrive (this week).  Here's a couple that are just waiting for the shells:

All carts will be offered in a universal game case with colour laser printed insert (I did look into boxes, but the cost is prohibitive).

Great stuff. Once you get a full list of what you will be doing get yourself your own repro thread on here.
