I was wondering what game this is a hack of as well, or if it could possibly even be a homebrew (though if that was the case, I figure that it would have been emphasized since a lot more work would be involved in creating everything from scratch).
From a quick Google search for "NES "Doctor Who"", the first result is a GameFAQs review for an NES game called Time Lord. Viewing the images, there are visual similarities, but it turns out that it isn't the original game. I felt that it was worth mentioning though since it was the first result, and the review compared the game to Doctor Who. 
Another result is actually an article about this hack specifically, and establishes that this release is a hack of a 1988 Famicom game called Cosmo Police Galivan.    
The article: http://www.retrocollect.com/News/unofficial-doctor-who-nintendo-nes-game-released-on-physical-cartridge.html I really like the graphical modifications. Awesome work with your project. I don't necessarily understand your reasoning for only making some of your projects available through reproduction cartridges, though. You know, considering the whole legal gray area and all. In addition, from what I've seen, your projects are primarily graphical hacks, and while graphic modifications can definitely take some time, if a project doesn't even change the levels, I hardly see how you can expect someone to pay at least $40 or $50 per cartridge when most of the content is from the original game. Compare graphical hack reproductions to RetroZone prices for homebrew cartridges. Not even the Battle Kid games are $40, and those are new games built from scratch. I'm not trying to come across as being critical, harsh, or unappreciative. Quite the opposite, actually. I appreciate the work done on any and all projects. I enjoy seeing whenever there's a new release from the active pacnsacdave. Your ideas for new takes on games are creative and high quality. However, ROM hacking should be about the love of bringing new life to games, and not about making money on copyrighted material. That's just asking for legal issues all around in the community as a whole. Plus while I can see that there are some people who don't mind paying for physical cartridges to play your hack modifications, you're probably alienating a lot of potential fans due to your choice. For example, like in this Romhacking.net thread when you say that Megaman X - Age of Wily is only available at Flashback Entertainment, and understandably, the response. (Interesting to also note, according to RetroRain/Rockman, the Megaman X - Age of Wily hack apparently uses his Mega Man Upgrade Patch as a base. If that's true, shouldn't he receive a percentage of your profits?) |

Posted by casperdj777 1. Read last post. 2. No. ROM dumps are illegal, although when the next GoodNES is around, it might be included, like with GoodSNES and SMW hacks. 3. Just use a PC and FCEUX and it's fine. It's better actually, you could report bugs and things if you know how to use a debugger correctly. ____________________ Jamie Dignam |

Posted by Termingamer2-JDpacnsacdave didn't actually release a patch of this hack though, so that's not possible until he does, or someone buys the cartridge and dumps it. I was touching upon this in my previous post, and that's also why casperdj777 asked if it would be available as a patch in the future, and established that they would really like to play it, but can't. Though they did say that they are willing to pay for one. However, not everyone is. Plus, producing reproduction cartridges just to sell them is asking for legal issues. Again, I do enjoy seeing new hacking projects get released. I'm just kind of curious about the whole thought process here, and if there's more to it other than just trying to get paid for ROM hacking. With that in mind, unless there is an actual patch released, I don't see a point in actually bothering to start a board thread for the project's release. It basically translates to: "Pay me money for this newly released ROM hack". Therefore, while it's not a ROM link or anything like that, it's advertising reproduction cartridges that don't contain 100% original material. So, should this even be allowed? |

If there's no patch for this game and its just a repro of ANOTHER one of his shitty hacks, why in the f**k is he advertizing this on a ROM hacking site? |
