At least one cart sale happened from the ROM release.
Yes indeed! Was that you?

I'm noticing this is "Rev-B". I'm curious how this is different from that one on my cartridge copy...
Just a few bugfixes. In particular, there was a bug on the password screen which would actually execute garbage code. A fellow on NA actually exploited this bug to mess up settings in RAM and get various cheatcodes out of it. I fixed the bug and all the passwords that guy shared are now properly invalidated and just beep with an error. The same passwords you wrote down will work with the previous revision just as well as this one, so it really only affects people who are trying to break the game lol.

So I wonder why you decided to make 2 of your nes games free. I'm assuming its free to download, but if you still want the cart you have to pay for it.
The interesting thing about this approach is that sometimes when people play your game and they like it then they might be more inclined to get a cart. I would get a cart if anyone of these games won my heart.
No matter what though, when you release your game for free, at least the rom, your game will get a lot more exposure. More people will be playing it.
Even though I've played some of your demos, now I can really get into the game.
Yes, I'm basically looking for more exposure. I'm happy with the money I made on the cartridges and after nearly 10 years I think I can safely say my lifestyle isn't going to suddenly turn into running all over the country trying to make a killing on this hobby, I'm happy with it being a hobby. Honestly what brings me the most joy is knowing other people are playing and enjoying the game. So going forward I'm probably going to release each game as a kickstarter with a ROM download as a lower tier, cartridge and CIB as higher tiers, and then release the rom for free roughly a year or so after the KS.
