Has anyone else noticed that the NeoGeo Pocket Color patents are all due to expire next year in September?

There is not a huge significance to this, but just an interesting fact about the age of the NGPC. Might be cool to release some homebrew or something on the same day the patent expires.

Interesting indeed.

It's posible shell games developing by one user, include a case? Patent exist?

How could anyone sell NGP games? You need to acquire some agreement with SNKP?

We ask, for example, the games published by NeoGeo DevTeam

I would like to produce the cartridge package. This is not a problem, but the box on the cartridge is the problem. Does anyone know what company manufactured the packaging?

Are you going to produce the plastic cartridge itself?

I'm not sure which part you said is the problem. Do you mean the clear cart protector or the plastic box that the manuals also came in?

I want to price does not exceed € 1 per pack up to 1.5.
I have to do a project in AutoCAD, order a mold for plastic. I expect that I'll have to order a minimum of 1,000.
