Paul Slocum Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Nah, the name will just take me a second to fix, and I can easily change the message if you want. I just need to figure out why it's not working right on a real Atari. The image during the game gets kind of screwy. Weird that the problem doesn't show up in Z26. Probably has to do with moving stuff around in the DK bank. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber-Independent Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 That's a nice label, but shouldn't mario be the one doing the proposing? Female Order of Operations #1: cute > not cute By Extension: Anthrpomorhic Animal > Cartoon Man with Moustache Therefore: Donkey Kong > Mario Ooh, That's a good question, Xot. I started from the Red Label DK, but I don't know what the final one is going to be. I could change it to the Coleco style label without too much trouble if necessary. But couldn't they just put the hacked ROM in whatever cart was laying around? I dunno, I've never done anything like that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 The cart will be a regular style ateri cart and not a coleco. Mybe it could be in one of those new colored carts? All of that is up to AL. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 BTW: Thanks to Dennis Debro for disassembling Donkey Kong! Made this hack a whole lot easier. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krofftsuperstar Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I just bought the ring a bit ago and was planning to pop the question to my girlfriend sometime in May. Ever since I've debated how I might propose. Then I read about your idea online and I was green with envy. With all the ideas I had, this one is by far the best and the most original. Might there be any way I could purchase one of these cartridges for my own? I hate to latch onto your idea -- and it's probably not proper etiquette -- but this is simply too cool to pass up. Thanks.

ATARI TROLL Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I am posting this as my entry for the contest. My entry is going along the lines of trying to make this label look worn as suggested in the original thread (page 4-the worn cart look) I used the bubble gum trading card pic-from sku_u's package that he sent me! I will dontate a white cart if necessary! Cheers Fixed the endlabel (mispelled word- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, just let me know what you want it to say, and contact Atariage about buying the cart. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krofftsuperstar Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 What you've written with the proposal is great. If you can change the name to Sarah, that woudl be perfect. (Somehow, I don't think my girlfriend would appreciate a marriage proposal to Jennifer.) THANKS kindly, Paul and Tim. I will contact AtariAge tonight about buying the cartridge. Kirk P.S. I've run the idea by a few friends and they love it. I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveD Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 This is really a great idea. Best of luck to the both of you. I think this cart could really be a great seller too. Not just for proposals but even for anniversaries, birthdays, or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepnut24 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Again, nothing special, but read the fine print. Good luck on the proposal, I just got hitched not to long ago. Well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I would point out that the contest ends on midnight April 17 so get busy!!!! I also wanted take this time to thank all those that have helped with the entire process. I look forward to perhaps having more contests or contributing to the AA comunity further. -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyOne Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 OK, well ... I'm afraid I got a little carried away, perhaps, but I'm a sucker for a guy who'll go to some extra effort to do something special ... There are three pix here. #1 is a submission for the label. #2 is a photo of a matching box for your cartridge, and maybe something to keep this I'm cut/pasting them all and making a small scrapbook of articles, label submissions etc.. to document this and to go along with the cart. Tim stuff in. You could even set up your 'scrapbook' to look like a 'manual' for the game, if you really wanted to get nuts ... #3 is a .jpg of the back of the box ... to help explain why there's wedding cake flying all over the place ... I think all the entries you've gotten look great, and I had lots of fun playing with this. The box is yours if you'd like it, whichever label you might choose. Just zip us a PM with a mailing addy if you're interested. Congrats, and best wishes to you both. (EDIT) Oops --- didn't know it would post 'em in reverse order ... eh, well ... you get the idea ...

Brad2600 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Very professional, ShyOne! I think this whole idea has been nothing but cool. I can imagine other couples inquiring about a similar cart down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARI TROLL Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Very very cool shy one....I especially like the promo poster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyOne Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Thanks to both you and Kepone! Like I said, I probably got a bit carried away, but I was havin' fun ... Poster, hmmm ... not a bad idea ... Actually, though, I think what you're looking at is the back of the box. Had to come up with some appropriate 'marketing' blurb, and the story just kinda grew out of the graphics and what little we know about Jennifer and her hatred of pink.

ATARI TROLL Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 my bad.....It just looks like the perfect sized add out or an Atari Age magazine or promo poster. that is even better for the back of the box art. Perfect use of label & box design! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the submissions were great and I had about 4 that I sat up all night considering, but ShyOne's was the one that I kept coming back to. Thanks for all the interest .
