If the manual is easy to print, I suggest prnt
ing it. I personally had trouble getting it to print the correct size (Even though I did compose it lol), and I suspect people might\] have some difficulty printing the pdf file as is. If time allows I could try to learn how to make a letter sized (8.5in x 11in) templte 7cto print out. Edit: Nope, time is not allowing.
There's actually a fairly easy trick to get it printed properly using adobe viewer alone. Have to get the print settings exactly right. If you're only printing one copy, enter "4,1,2,3" in pages to print, "multiple" under page sizing & handling, pages per sheet "custom 2 by 1", page order Horiz, print on both sides, flip along long edge, with portrait orientation. I printed them off "4,1,4,1,2,3,2,3" with 4 pages per sheet so I can print two manuals on one sheet of paper and then cut in half. Those options does put a little extra blank space in the binding/crease, but not enough to worry about.
My apologies on the delays with the release. I've got the
sales webpage up and ready to go. Only left to do is put a link from my products page. I'm effectively ready for people to start checking out, just wanted to give you guys a cursory look before officially announcing the release. People can go ahead and start checking out if they'd like. I have all the carts flashed with the RC4a rom ("RC4a" text removed from title screen). I went with consensus by crickets on the majority of stuff I brought up in my last post. Still need to sort out some items for the Limited Editions though, I had hoped to tackle the LE details before releasing, but it's been my scape goat for far too long.
Fair warning I will be out of town for two weeks starting 8/26/2015. I was wanting to get this up at the beginning of the month so the initial rush would be behind me before I left, but here we are. I expect that I'll be able to ship all copies that sell between now and then before I leave. I'm not going to be completely out of commission while I'm on the road, so I'm going to make an effort to bring some copies with me so I can ship them without waiting for my return after Labor Day.
I set up paypal invoice autoforwarding with NESHomebrew, and can do the same for anyone else who would like it. I do need the new .zip for all the required GPL stuff assuming we're doing that all the same as last time around. The link on the current page is unchanged since last volume.
As for limited contributor's editions, I need to track down everyone's mailing address, and get their input on what text they'd like on the title screen of their copy. I figured I'd number them "LE #1 of 18" at a minimum, thought putting "2014 compo 1st place" for those that apply. I can put whatever people would like that fits though. Here's my list that NESHomebrew forwarded me, please let me know if I'm missing anyone. Does anyone know if the mojontwins are two people or not? I guessed maybe based on the name..? I'll ask them via their contact page on their site, but wasn't sure how we got a hold of them in the first place, don't think they ever responded to my PMs.
Anyone on this list (or anyone I missed), please feel free to email me (
paul@infiniteneslives.com subject: "Action53 contributor info") with your mailing address and any special request on your title screen text. I'll reach out to those who don't reach me first in a couple days. I will ship LE's out as I get the needed details along with the cat3 snes-nes adapter prizes as well.
