Yes, we have some breakthroughs regarding repros. Billy and I are working through some details.

I revealed new info on Kenju today on my Tumblr.
Kenju is now playable at Mikado and Try Tower in Tokyo. I have also given both arcade Force Five which is already up at Try.

Does the Atomiswave wipe backup ram (scores, unlocks, etc.) after a cart swap, like HNG64?
I'm happy to post an update that Billy Pitt has graciously sent over the Chicago 1929 cart to me and I have successfully dumped it. It's also fully playable under emulation minus its link up feature as Demul does not support this functionality yet. NAOMI netbooting versions have almost been created for the protos but due to hardware differences, they are not 100% faithful. As such, we are now working on the first AW cart repro which will lead to a potential production run.
I hope this can serve as an example that professional and mature transactions are absolutely possible for protos.
Also, if anyone knows who has Premier Eleven, please PM me.
They had another stream the other day too.
Bump. Any advances on Kenju?
We've 90% reverse engineered the existing AW bootlegs so that we can reproduce our own carts without having to buy boots. Once this is complete, we will assemble the first prototypes and test them out.
This is awesome news! Hopefully things continue to progress. Thanks so much for sharing your proto with the community!

Wait a second, finally I hear something promising here.
So let me see if we got this straight here.
1) We already know that it is possible to build a device that allows us to read the data off the flash roms on the Proto carts without having to desolder them and risk damaging them.

Billy,
I've discussed repros now with Darksoft, Metallic, Brizzo and Arcademodbios on what is possible.
...also still very interested - bump acknowledge.
To quote muchspork, "wow."
Yeah - definitely happy to support the R & D, and the cost of production, but that seems way out there. I wasn't thinking $30 boots like ali used to have, but was more in the $150 range.
