Umm ain't the gold copy which is even rarer worth around 25k on a good day?
not sure if fake but there is a gold one up there now for $500 BIN.
This cartridge is a custom made one that works just like the official NWC 1990 however it's still NOT by Nintendo, that being said I will still be including transparent labels should you want a more realistic feeling for the cartridge.
That one is a fake...description says so:
An authentic gold one sold for $100K a few years back.
looks like the cut is some kinda fail dremel work.
sad, the auction ended prematurely, seems as of the seller ended the listing
I think it ended on the clock. Maybe the seller will relist it and offer actual shipping. To, you know, let the whole world fight over it...
I love seeing these for sale. I am 100% sure I had this as a kid. Makes you wish you have kept all that old hardware.
So you competed and were a finalist?
Reminds me of my copy of Stadium Events I sold to Funcoland for next to nothing back in the 90's, along with the running mat.
I'm sure. It's funny though, because everyone always says that.Are you sure it was Stadium Events and not World Class Track Meet (rebranded SE)? SE had a short release window in 1987 prior to being recalled and then rereleased as WCTM like a year later. I think the biggest tell would be the mat.
I'm sure. It's funny though, because everyone always says that.
I think people generally say it because the human brain has the tendency to rewrite the past. But when it's all said and done, good for you (and sad that you never kept it) because IMO, it's a pretty sweet story to tell.
Yes, it could corrupt data on the EEPROM by having the window exposed. I'm sure the seller has no idea.. lol.
I've had the opposite experience with UV-EPROM's at work. They're new-old stock for our English Electric turbine controls from the late 70's / early 80's. My coworker left a tray of them sitting on the lab bench over a weekend with the windows exposed after I had validated the programming on them, and I had to reprogram a few, since several I re-tested before installation were no longer meeting the checksum and had some flipped bits. I don't know what the ones in the Nintendo cartridges are rated for, but for the age of the chips I was using causes them no longer meet the factory specifications for data retention when the window is exposed.Someone left eproms indoors for 7 months and experienced no corruption via regular office lights. I'd imagine the seller is not dumb enough to leave them sitting outside...

I'm guessing you've never worked with UV-EPROM's before?

Thanks for the info!
