RBI 2014 Project Thread - Beta version 1.1 released!

[VEGAS]

I'm excited to see this year's art work for the Cart and/or the box. I'd like to have a cart of this years ROM made. There are a few online people who do this. I think they can be made for $25-35 each. Nesreproductions.com or thenesdump.com are two good spots I've used before. I bet others are interested in owning the cart but if not I may just order one. I'd love to use whatever artwork Turd has made-- last years was FANTASTIC! But no worries, if you'd rather hold on that I might go ahead and get one made with no or just  generic artwork.

I have a box template I'm working on. Not sure on the carts yet.

[Turd]

We're working on it...hopefully soon...

I am right there with you Vegas.  Last year's cart/box were amazing.  Hoping for the same for this year, but if not I will be getting a cart made as well.  Who's on the cover this year?  Papi, right?

[VEGAS]

I wish it was PAPI but I think Turd broke the tie vote and went with Chris Davis.

[Turd]

Yeah, sorry, it was Davis.  Chris Davis epitomized the RBI spirit with his huge power season...though looking back I kind of wish it was Papi too, as it seems people trickling in would have liked that as well.

To quote that New Era commercial from a few years back, "You no Big Paaaaapi!"

I really don't care who's on it.  It will be cool either way.

Lurker coming out of the dark here. I wanna get this in the Playchoice 10 at the arcade I run. Shit's on free play, too, so everyone can come have some fun. The TSB 14 I'm running in there now is pretty awesome.  I don't even need the cart as it runs pretty wonky in the cart (I have to open 'em up & run 'em bare for stability), just the innards.

[BeefMaster]

That is amazing.  How do you get the data onto the boards to run?  Is there some custom hardware/software combo that you use to write them to an existing board or something?

I was thinking this might be a problem because the arcade and NES ROMs aren't exactly the same, but then I remembered that the arcade one is the "Vs." series; I think PlayChoice 10 ran regular NES games.

Pics! That's great...if you ever get any stories or fun games you play with the updated ROM, please post back.  The more RBI content we get here the better...

[Turd]

Could anyone who is intersted in a cart please PM me their email address? I need to see how much inventory we'll need and whatnot...consider this as a "sign up to receive more information when it becomes available" sort of thing

[Turd]

I'm finalizing box art today and hopefully getting it over to the distributor...thanks for being patient!

[Turd]

Also, I have a surprise in store for people who were disappointed with Crush Davis as the cover athlete...

[Turd]

Some previews of what I had created...

[VEGAS]

Turd, You beautiful bastard!



PAPI!!!!!!!


Both are awesome covers, but the David Ortiz is the one for me. I'm ready to order a copy (maybe two if the price is right).


Seriously great cover art Turd!

[fathedX]

Wow!

Hey bros, just an FYI.. carts will be ready in the next 7 to 10 days. SUPER and I mean SUPER limited.

I'm working getting my partner to set aside some carts for the people who PM'd me.  Stay tuned...

[fknmclane]

Holy fuck balls those look great.

[jjelmo11]

Amazing work Turd!

[Turd]

Hey guys, I should have an update on price today, I've been told the carts are ready, and those who showed interest early will get an email with the details before they go on sale to the public.

[VEGAS]

Sweet
