This is more of a demonstration of creating this game and then showing how it plays. There are also 2 videos that show me creating similar cartridges :D Please watch them if you are interested in creating reproduction carts.

    Step 1

    First - If you have further questions on what was actually done, take a look at my two other videos on it

    Creating a Mr Gimmick Cart

    and This one I did on Earthbound, showing some wiring that is commonly required.

    There is a fabulous website that has tons of information on each of the boards different games use: http://bootgod.dyndns.org:7777/

    I picked up a super common game for $1 USD the other day, and honestly it was too dull to play, so this is how to deal with such a beast ;)

    So far, I give the gameplay a thumbs up !

Embedding only works in the project logs for me (with the cursor and enter trick also)

  Are you sure? yes | no

LOL yeah, I didnt want to get it on that table ><

Embedding is possible but a but wonky. Try putting your cursor at the end of the YouTube link and press enter. Then hit the publish button again. It should work.

I watched the first video and saw the fast motion soldering. Is there a clip where you explain the circuit? I know nothing about the special cartridge PCBs.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Still didn't embed :( The earthbound one shows the basic wiring for this type of project. When I get done and finals are over I will have more time and can possibly do a better explanation video :)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Is this a pure chip-swap or do you have add jumpers and cut traces?

  Are you sure? yes | no

ThunderSqueak wrote 05/01/2014 at 22:22 • point
Mostly it is a chip swap, I posted a link to a video if you want to see exactly what is done. You do have some rewiring to do to get everything working as the original NES mask rom pinnouts are not the same as your standard eprom. I really wish there was a way to embed video directly into this page as that is how I prefer to document my projects. That way NOTHING is left out :D

  Are you sure? yes | no

Oh, also check out the other two video links as well, one on Mr Gimmick basically shows you the basic technique for removing large ICs and the other is a short video on the wiring used to match the NES mask rom using a common eprom.

  Are you sure? yes | no
