Great! Already on it! Looks perfect, you have done a good job!

I also like the simple backing options. Three. That's it, nobody needs more.

I don't (yet?) own an MVS or CMVS, but these really do look great. All the best to you with regards to realising this pretty ambitious project...

hey buddy- nice job on that thing!

a little friendly advice- if you can do a decent quality video, do it. the kickstarter people LOVE them some videos. thats a lot of text.

also maybe offer up a higher priced option- say an omega with (for example) 10 of these items for $625 (show a mild discount and get a big sal out if it). maybe offer up a 100 pack.

be creative with the payout/ gift options so there is something for everyone.

good luck!

Does Kickstarter charge you when you make the pledge or when the thing ends? I'm ready to donate on this but didn't know if I would be charged today or at the end.

I'll try to get a video out by this weekend. I was considering higher quantity options but it's apparently against the rules to sell things in bulk. 10 is the highest I can offer in a particular reward level. There are easy ways around it though.

As far as other reward options go, it's a bit tricky with this one. It's not an actual game so I can't put out promotional merchandise for it. It would be kinda weird to send someone a post of cartridge shells.

It charges me fees when the project gets funded. I don't lose anything if the project doesn't meet the target goals. If that happens, everyone gets refunded so I'm guessing it charges you right away when you make a pledge.

It charges you when the project is successfully funded but Amazon will take down your CC info when you make the pledge and then you have until the campaign is done to change or cancel your pledge.

Looking at the pledges if I donate $30 does that means I get two cart shells? Sorry if these are stupid questions.

That's not how the pledges work but that's the way I'm going to interpret the pledge amounts. That's the work around I was alluding to. If you pledge in multiples of the reward denomination, I'll do the math and get you the right amount.

thanks for doing this. I hope people take note and support it!

I have seen other kickstarters that allow you to get more than 1 of a reward..... just pledge multiples of that amount and make sure you tell them in the comments. Are you planning on doing this?


Edit: seems yes.

You've asked and now received. Kickstarter is now live for the new cartridge shells.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/113891498/omega-neo-geo-mvs-replacement-cartridge-shells

Just backed you for 10 cart shells shadow; the Omega I got from you was fantastic, as I'm sure these shells will be.

Everybody that has even the slightest interest in these shells should back this for at least the $15 level.

Hell, even if you don't have an MVS pick one up just to know you helped bring this to the masses.

Quan, does the $135 for 10 include shipping? I was thinking of ordering 10 but it was not charging me extra for shipping, is that correct?

Want me to increase the height of the label templates by a couple of mm? Looks like there's a little gap at the top there.

Will def be pledging, just a question, hope its not too dumb, but do the first people to pledge get their shells first when they are complete, or will they be mailed out to everyone at the same time?

Shipping isn't included in the pledge. In some cases, $15 will all go towards shipping the shell. The cost will vary depending on destination but I will keep it fair. Priority mail is standard for domestic and EMS for international.

Nah, I'll just shrink down the label area by that amount so it fills it up properly.

I'll have them shipped out in order of pledges. Earlier pledges get theirs first.
