I love eBay

Someone here has to get this and report back ASAP.
-
if it were cheaper, like $3 I'd totally bid on it
-
This is clearly a homebrew. The pic of the zombie im sure is from house of the dead. and the pic of the hero is from Cotm isnt it?, those pictures of the buildings just look like generic victorian era buildingsa from any industrial estate you could find near where I live... not impressed.
-
lololol
That is so fake, its probably just another game with a picture over it. There are things wrong with it.
That is Nathan Graves.
They never drew that well back in the days of NES.
The Castlevania logo is the new one they only started using recently.

This is Dr. Mario's hack of cv1.

I had a Brazilian friend in elementary school that told me of a "Castlevania: Stairway to Hell". At first I thought he was lying, but looking at this makes the pieces fall together. I guess he got some kinda weird bootleg?
I'd buy it if it were still 4 bucks.
-
Earlier when I saw this I sent the dude a question. I asked " Is this just some game you made, or did you just make the label and slap it on an NES cart, cause this isn't a real game"...
Well, I just got my answer
"It's a reproduction"....thats all I got!

....ummmm....oh lord.... that is an enigma. Still, I agree with Clara. Someone with loads of money to just throw away has to buy this, knowing that it may or may note be a totally rip off fake. There is no way in hell this is an actualy official game, but even so... the sticker and everything looks so good and just like a real NES game. Is it possible to get a homebrew game onto a NES cartridge and actually have it work on a NES?

Yeah, I saw that. Your point? Oh yes, I just restated that it is homebrew, I guess. Still, how do you get a homebrew into a NES cartridge??
-
If you had a flash cart you could transfer it but they're expensive. My best guess is they just took a sticker off of some Catlevania and slapped that joke on it. It looks like they slapped an eyepatch on Nathan Graves, lol.
-
That logo was made by Dr. Mario too I think.
Btw. it's possible to get nes roms on real cartridges. There are people who take some money ($5 or so plus shipping costs) and an existing cartridge to erase its content and replace it with the rom data.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHA, holy shit,this is the creepiest thing that i've ever seen, please anyone tell me, who is gonna pay 50 bucks for a NES homebrew castlevania game, and guess what, the hero in the picture is nathan graves, yes the hero of Cv:CotM, but with differen hair color, and another pallet colors, but, let tell you something, the picture in the cartridge is so fucking cool for the NES.
-
It's not a homebrew, guys. It's a very detailed hack.
DoctaMario (a member of this forum) is the Tile/Sprite artist for it.
Jeez, the guy even joins our CV IRC channel from time to time.
I doubt the person selling this hack has anything to do with him or the hacking team he's in.
I repeat: IT'S NOT A HOMEBREW.

I think you're confusing Dr. Mario with Doctamario. They're two different people. :P

Yeah I saw on EBay once someone was selling the english Seiken Densetsu 3 Rom on a cartridge, would have gotten it but it was pretty expensive. Also, one of the dudes at a local game shop around me is working on that now.
-
wow that looks incredibly fake. If it were a true old nes castlevania game it would would have the old font. If this guy were trying to pass it off as a classic nes game you think he would have at least got the font right. :P
edit
Just read the rest of the posts. I love looking for and playing altered/souped up versions of the original cv if it weren't so expensive I'd pick this up as it appears the coder did a really good job.

It's actually incredibly easy. All's you have to do is erase the game that's on one and code the new one you want to replace it with on there.

Follow the link I gave then, there's an ip patch for the original cv which turns it into that game. Of course it'll be a rom and you'll need an emulator, but you won't have to pay this much money to some ripoff thief like that. :P

cool thanks, I'll follow the link. Uh the links dead, guess I'll have to figure out some other way to get the file.

I remember seing this game in action on youtube, it was a speed run or something like that.

Both cv corner and the hack's site work. It might be something on your end.

Yeah I only found out a little bit ago from him at the CV IRC channel.
It was an honest mistake.
Mistaken identitayyy. :P
Cleared up now.
-
It's not a homebrew, guys.
-
A homebrew would be using a homemade engine and etc I guess.
Hacks use the actual games and build off of there or something like that. Yeah.
-
Difference is, if you wrote it from grounds up it's homebrew. If you used an already existing game and hacked it to put your stuff in it's a hack. :P
It's not the case if the game allows modifications natively, but licenced games almost never have that ability.
Edit: crap, too late.

Well duh! I know that. I'm just confused about how to plug a big cartridge like that into a computer.

You don't, they have to program the chips (least to my knowledge) the same way they were originally programmed. Which requires you to take the board out of the plastic case, and tediously write the new code for it.

Eeeiigghhh..... sounds annoying. And about the homebrew/hack thing, aren't all hacks that build off the game technically brewed at home, like a hombrew?
-
Don't take the term's name as its definition.
Example: Pillow shading does not mean to shade pixel art with a pillow-y texture but rather to shade it as crap. Or something. >.>
EDIT: Actually, it's more like it's a homebrew since it was all made at home while hacks use games. So hacks aren't entirely made at home. Erm. Erm. Like Serio said, a homebrew is made from the ground up. Though I wouldn't say completely since a lot of them use ripped sprites and music.
