I already asked about this is the M3 forum, but I just thought I’d recommend the idea here.

Many of us are going to be applying the English translation of Mother 3 to GBA flash carts, obviously. And being a game thirteen years in the making for us, I’m sure everyone is going to want their first English play through the of the game as special as possible. And of course, as authentic as possible.

Now, to have the cart as authentic as possible, it is of course going to need the M3 label on it. But how would we go about getting the stickers for our carts? Well, we could either go to a print shop and have it specially requested. Or we could buy a Japanese Mother 3 (for some of us, a second one), for full price, so that we could can try and take the sticker off or put the casing around the “guts” of the flashcart. This would just be a waste of time, money, and a perfectly good copy of Mother 3.

So how about selling cartridge stickers? It would make things a whole lot easier for everyone looking to make a M3 GBA cart.

How does everyone feel – Yay or nay?

I think the better solution would be for Jonk or someone equally as skilled to make a mock label that people can print out for free and stick onto their cartridges. I’m sure there’s some special sticker paper out there that people can buy if they want to go the extra mile and make it look really official.

I suggest this because people will want the official logo on their carts, and that’s not something we can sell.

I’m a bit new here and I wanted to know how to dump the translation onto a GBA flash cart. I’ve been playing it, and I thought that this topic could explain my question

This is what I was thinking. Does anyone have a high-dpi cart scan? Does anyone know the printed dimensions of a GBA cart label?

Jonk:

I wouldn’t want to make stickers (right now that is) because people will use them to try and sell pirated carts, such as many have tried to do with EarthBound Zero.

this is true, I had not thought about that.

I could scan my Mother 3 cartridge and give dimensions.

As for people pirating them, would it make a difference? They’ll probably be able to find a sticker elsewhere on the internet and slap that onto the cartridge.

Oh, they definitely will. We just don’t want it to be ours. Just because people are playing MOTHER 3 with ROMs doesn’t mean that piracy is suddenly awesome. We’re still against it, and we still want to prevent people from profiting unfairly from selling the game.

Wait, if guys began to sell fake gba carts, they will have to remove the red translation screen, right?
You should put a something on this screen that makes the patch unoperant if it’s removed, or something.

Yeah, well at least it will reduce the thing a bit…
Unless someguy release a translated rom without the screen.
