Hm... so for every four games of mine he sells, he can send me another homebrew one, so I'm soon to play Oystron, TPS & Thrust on the real thing :-) BTW: There's some PAL <-> NTSC business I don't understand. It's maybe a stupid question, but is there a hardware difference between a PAL & a NTSC console? I mean, I bought that NTSC console via eBay. At least the seller assumed that it was NTSC. So I hooked it onto my TV and got a stable picture and some crappy noises instead of proper sound. Now, what I was expecting from a NTSC console was more a rolling picture and normal sound, so I now think its not a NTSC console but a broken PAL one. hm... how would I find out for sure? > The big benefit of this method is that you as the programmer keep > all the rights to your program.

Yep. That's it exactly. I really don't mind doing it for free as long as it's all mine. (Just in case someone got a different impression lately :-)) > The other benefit of Randy's method is that by modifying existing > cartridges and putting simple inkjet labels on them, he can keep > the costs per cart relatively low. Oh-oh... you're saying that he is cannibalising? I wouldn't like the idea of another cartridge being destroyed for a game of mine, even if it was Combat. (Hm... maybe if it was 3D-Tic-Tac-Toe... :-)) > I would want my games to be played by as many people as possible. Yep.
