How does a small group of programmers even DO something like this? I mean, manufacturing the cartridges alone isn't easy or cheap!

They probably won't make profit and use most of their free time for it.
Manufacturing the carts shouldn't be the biggest problem. You just need a company that can make plastic parts. I imagine the base cost is quite high, so if you only order like 500 or 1000 copies it's gonna cost a lot per piece.

Or they have a bunch of Shaq Fu copies sitting around for donor cases/boards.

It be a better fate for Shaq Fu than it's worth if that were the case.
Gaming peaked in the 8-Bit & 16-Bit eras...
all else is just rehashes and insanity passing

Using donor carts would probably be the cheaper method.

The chaps behind this and Beggar Prince are going to be attending the Byte Back retro gaming event in the UK. Heard they will be bringing several copies of their games to sell so I'll be picking up a few. I'll most likely do an entry for the whole event in my blog, its around the 9th March.
