carlsson Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Is there any market demand for LTO encoded ROMs, or do the sales of those tend to be so low that it is not worth the effort if you can't get a publisher of physical cartridges?

+Steve Jones Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 As long as the price is reasonable I think there is demand, recently Wizard of Wor and Cosmic Avenger sold for $25 US for the pair, not sure how many have sold. Maybe ask TrekMD, I think he was the one selling them. I know I have bought those and all the ones Elekronite sold previously, I think you need to keep them under $20 to sell decently.

+Steve Jones Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 So you are planning to release several games? And forgive my ignorance but what is “Argon enhanced”? Did I miss an announcement about these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss an announcement about these? We've shown it in public (PRGE, CES), but not done an announcement yet. We post behind-the-scenes pictures to social media (instagram first) -- https://www.instagram.com/markspaceinc/ Mailing list signup at http://www.markspace.com/retro/ Runs on Android, Chromebook, Amazon and Raspberry Pi. The consoles we'll be compatible with at launch include Atari 2600, Atari Lynx, Vectrex, ColecoVision and Intellivision. Over time, we'll add more.

Anyway if your idea is to monetize it in a framework like one you have told above it could be interesting to complete it. I could not remove the original assets, just make them alternative and well hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there some other reason the assets have to be left in, although hidden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is intybasic, the reason to change assets is that Galaxians is copyrighted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just confused by "I could not remove the original assets, just make them alternative and well hidden." So sounds like it is possible to just use different assets, not just hide them. Good news!

skywaffle Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) I certainly can't speak for Artrag, but I think all the hard work, energy, and time poured into a freely released game only to see it get released on cartridge as a super rare prototype of say.. Gyruss, is a good enough reason to be hesitant... That's quite the motivation killer. Edited June 20, 2020 by skywaffle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artrag Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm experimenting LTO capabilities. It will not work without extended CP1600X instructions Use this command line to execute the demo jzintv.exe --jlp-savegame=flash.jlp -s1 -z3 -f1 -v1 Galaxian.bin Galaxian.bin Galaxian.cfg 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
