Checking on interest for rewriting fds disks

[punkr13]

any here know where i can get like a working disk system at a reasonable price?

[ChuChu Flamingo]

For those who want nice FDS reproductions (e.g. 'All Night Nippon SMB', 'Clu Clu Land', Prize Cards, etc.) , I'm starting to offer a handful of FDS Repros, complete with reproduction obi and/or manual (where possible and applicable). Some manuals are simply too time-consuming to reproduce, and these are not $5 disks.

See: Flashback Reproduction Games

I will only make a limited quantity of any given game, and only if I have the original. These are disk-to-disk duplications.

I also do FDS re-encoding, but like Eric, it's only for factory disks, and can do drive-specific read calibration as well if anyone desires that service I charge per side, per encoding attempt and offer both quantity discounts and trade-credits for non-working disks.

I don't see a price on those reproductions, may I ask how much they are?

[Xious]

Price for the reproduction games varies by title: P.M. if you are interested for a quote.

@punkr13: That depends on if your definition of 'reasonable' is the same as mine. I sell fully-restored systems with a 1-Year warranty, including Sharp Twin systems, but I expect retail pricing on them.

If you want to gamble, you can buy a cheap system and pray that it both works on arrival and keeps working for a while; if you want a guaranteed product, P.M. me for details or search through my older posts.

Bumping this again. If you're interested in having any FDS games written onto disks (prototype, official, or unlicensed games), send me a PM and we can work out the details.

Bumping this topic again.

I can rewrite your dead FDS disks and I also have disks I can write games of your choice onto (copy programs, game doctor games, etc.)

PM with what you have in mind and we can work something out.

Do you have any game doctor format FDS games? If so, I would like them

[ericj]

Yeah, I do. All these: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=810.msg76927#msg76927

I can't sell all of them, though, since I'd only be selling copies and there are probably 500 disks or more for the games in the list.

Which FDS backup unit do you recommend for game doctor images?

too bad you can't just play them off of an MGD1 with 3.5" drive...

[ericj]

An MGD1 is the only way to dump and write game doctor FDS games as of now. Some single or double-sided disks can be used with FDSLoader (in .fds format) along with a game doctor. Not many, though.

Indeed: If you want to dump disks or write them from files, you need a MDG-1 unit. If you want to do disk-to-disk copies you can do this either wit software or a copy-rig.

@Eric: I still have a parcel for you, but I've spaced sending it to you. I'll try to get it out next week; inside there are eight disks, two belts and the ANN Obi and label sets for you.

No worries; I know you've been busy. 

[hagai]

thats a good idea hahah keep it up!! i want to talk more but im not good in english haha:D

[ericj]

Wanted to bump this again.

Need a disk rewritten, or have a special request? Maybe you'd like a disk dumped? I can write and dump nearly all FDS disks, including hacks, utilities, prototypes, and game doctor games.

I'm happy to rewrite your disks, and I also have some spare disks I can write games onto.

If interested, shoot me a PM.

[RetroGamerTMD]

Will rewriting the disk fix it from being broken? I don't have any broken disks on me, but I'm curious.

[ericj]

Rewriting a disk may fix it, provided there is no physical damage to the disk media. If there is physical damage, it depends where it is on the disk surface--sometimes a smaller game can fit onto the disk if the damaged area is near the edge. Sometimes Side A is okay while Side B isn't, or vice-versa.

I wish I had some extra disks around. If you get a lot of disks in and want to write and sell some send me a PM.
