Does any one remember earthbound anymore?

[Sora de Eclaune]

What's Earthbound? I was too busy playing Mother 2 as a kid to find out about other games. Oh, c'mon. Ness and Paula? Totally worth not learning about other games for.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with m3rox and say earthbound is pure awesomeness! Just because all you like to do is sit around playing "modern welfare"(yes that is a pun) or grinding to get to level 70 in WoW doesn't mean Earthbound isn't a great game. Earthbound has got more heart and an infinitely more interesting story than 95% of the games that come out now. If you don't like it that's your own opinion but please keep your negative theories to yourself and grow up.

figured i should post my label for my EarthBound Zero cart i'm working on, not finished still looking for some decent EB art for it and there is still some touch up work to do but so far i'm happy with it.

OVER 9000! hours in paint!

I *extremely* love the Mother series.

I'm currently playing through all three games right now but mostly Mother 3 (which is like, extremely sad for an RPG

)

yeah still not sure which label to use, if only i had another compatible nes game to gut i'd use them both.

lol if you havnt played it yet then why would you be reading this topic? XD
Because.

I haven't beaten any of the Mother games, but I've played all of them to a certain extent and am reading this.

We have the Mother 3 Translation Team, who IMHO did a much better job than Nintendo could ever begin to dream of.

You cannot say Mato translated it better than Nintendo would ever had without having anything to compare it to.

We have the original Mother that was officially translated and unreleased.

I was talking about Mother 3

BAGSFC is better for playing Earthbound.

Never got the time to give it a chance...

[SimianSegue]

HOLY GOD!!! I am a HUGE Earthbound fan. Mother 3 is my favorite game of all time! 3rd for Earthbound and 5th for Earthbound Zero. Holy crap, I do miss this game. I gotta go play!

 

[MSaki]

just a little update on my Repro cart, my Earthbound Zero burned Eprom chips and label from game reproductions shipped today!

i'll post pics of the package when it gets here, and of course as well as the finished cart when it's done!
UPDATE: arrived today 08/25/11 Label and CHR and PRG chips here's a set of pics.
Ignore the Double Player it's just there to cover up names and addresses.

The lable came out better than i'd hoped(ghosting effect from the camera) but i'll wait to put it on last after all the soldering work is done.

hopefully the soldering goes well and i don't make any mistakes, gonna wait a bit to calm down maybe catch a shower and post some finished product pics once it's all tested playable and hopefully saving will work too.

 

[wolffangalchemist]

the dirty deed is done, after a little scare of it not going past the Earthbound screen and the removal of a diode going to the s-ram battery the game works 100%!
images of the chips soldered in and the completed cart, as well as a short video of it loading up on my nes tv.

if anyone else is interested in doing this i might try and write up a easy to follow short tutorial.
also sorry for the double post wanted to bump the thread so everyone would see it.

threw this together in about 30 mins, for anyone who is curious into a bit of detail how it is done.
