Hi guys,

Starting a new thread hoping to make the Commando HSS kit a reality. Souzilla said he may be willing to undertake this during the summer, provided I am able to secure 15 prepayments for kits, which definitely seems like a doable number. As such, I will attempt to generate the needed interest and committments to see if we can make this happen.

Have listed those expressing interest in the original thread, and have sent PM's to verify committment.

Setting a deadline of June 15th, 2011 for prepayments to be received. Price is $45 shipped. Please include your shipping address. We need 15 for this to happen. Please send prepayment to my paypal acct: [email protected] and include the heading comm high score save along with your shipping address. I ask that you do not use the full word "Commando" because I don't want the gov't to suspect me of laundering terrorist funds :p Please include 3.5% to cover the paypal fee, or mark payment as gift or payment owed so I do not incur the paypal charge and receive full payment. I will pool the payments together and send 1 group payment along with
everyone's shipping info at the deadline (or earlier if we get 15 prepayments) to Souzilla so he isn't receiving random payments to keep track of. For those that prepay, If this project does not come to pass or its determined the daughter board will not fit, you will receive a full refund. If this moves forward Souzilla will begin looking into this near the end of Summer so the kit would likely be ready during the latter part of 2011.

I absolutely love the work and dedication these guys put into producing HS kits for the games we love. Commando is definitely a game that would benefit greatly with this enhancement. Thanks guys!

I don't think the HS affects the game rom, but I'm no expert. I'll check with Souzilla and see what his preliminary thoughts are :)

Tom

I'd be interested if they could make the kit compatible with the Japanese version (ie doesn't change the game to the US version).
 
I checked with Souzilla and unfortunately he said the Japanese version wouldn't be supported with the initial batch. And you were correct, it does affect the gamerom so your version would probably be switched to US with the kit.

payment received from James in MD :) Thanks man, I will update list to reflect that tonite after work.

Tom

No problem, thanks for helping to organize all of these repro efforts. BTW, you wouldn't happen to be the same Tom that goes/went by the handle Banzai_run? I knew a Tom who lived in the San Fernando valley area and he had quite a collection of arcade stuff.
 
thanks for the kind words James and thanks to everyone that has supported these projects through committments and prepayments. Without your interest, some of these projects wouldn't happen. The ones I'm involved with are in various stages, but my participation is limited to drumming up interest or supplying artwork I've come across to repro.

I'm not Banzai, but I do also go by the handle "Droid" on the shmups.com and neo-geo.com forums. But I rarely post there any more as I've caught the hardcore arcade addiction fever, heh.

prepayment #6 received from new forum member JonnyNeedles :) Welcome to KLOV and thanks for supporting this project! Jonny is our 16th person.

Prepayments #7 and 8 received from Takeman and Wick. Thanks fellas :)
Also I purchased a commando pcb from Quarterarcade (Anthony) and it is in route to Souzilla, so obtaining a working board for him to work on has been taken care of.
