Checking on interest for rewriting fds disks

[ericj]

It seems like more and more people want Famicom disks rewritten. I was thinking of offering this service if anyone thinks it's worthwhile.

I think it would work something like this:

- You send me the disks you want rewritten (restored with original game or new game of your choice)
- You pay shipping charges both ways
- Send an extra disk or two since some disks are corrupted and cannot be successfully rewritten (all disks sent would be returned to you)

What do you guys think would be reasonable rewrite charges? I was thinking of around $5-6 per game, depending on the number of disks/games you want rewritten. For example, a one-sided disk game would be $5, but a 2-sided disk game would be $6. I could also rewrite with .fds images that are unique/hacks if you provide them to me via email.

I'd be open to trades for this service, too, depending on what you have to offer.

I think it's only fair that any unique or hard to find games that I already have would cost more, though.

What do you guys think?

I think it's a good idea.  Very reasonable price too.

Great idea man I have some disks I wouldn't mind having games on

[samclem86]

I'd definitely get some.  Hope you do it!

I would be interested. I've got already re-written disks that could have something else more up my alley on them. I've got a disk that was once Esper Dream but was then re-written to a stupid billiards game. I've also got a disk that's supposed to have Wardner on it that also can't unfortunately be read.

I think I speak for everyone, "All Night Nippon" reproduction disks!

I'd like to use this service one day to get Clu Clu Land rewritten on my Velloeyball Disk.

I'd love to have my Zelda rewritten. I've had it for almost three years and it's been sitting unloved the entire time.

I think I'll do this but limit it at first to restoring official disks with their official games. I think it's a bad idea to flood the market with "All Night Nippon" or similar desirable disks for only $5 each.

Maybe a higher price would make sense for games that are hard to get/in demand to discourage people from buying them to just re-sell at a profit. 

What do you guys think?

[ericj]

Right, but with a copy program, they could just copy the game onto an official disk that doesn't have reproduction written on it.

I have 2 of Insectduel's hacks on disk, but not that particular one. If you can find the .fds image, or modify the rom with the isp file, then I can write it. Insectduel's patches are online. I've never looked into patching roms, so I don't know how, but know others on here can do it.

Ok can you make me a copy of All night Nippon Mario bros and can you rewrite two sides of another disk
