Is there still a way to rewrite SNES Nintendo Power cartridges?

    I'll looking to get Picross NP Vol. 1, which was only released through the Nintendo Power service. These cartridges are rather enough without trying to find a specific game, so I think the easiest way is to grab any one and rewrite it to the right game.

    My question is simple, can we do this? If so, how?

    Last time I checked, someone managed to rewrite the GB variants of said carts and was trying with the SFC ones. The latest news were already a couple months old, so I don't think anything ever came of that. I'd love to be proven wrong though...

    edit: Here's the blog entry I was referring to, I think: http://blog.gg8.se/wordpress/2013/0...-tale-of-reverse-engineering-sweat-and-tears/ - no updates as of today, and no mention of SFC experiments either, so either I got the wrong post or my memory's failing me.

    Yes you can read and write to the SNES Nintendo Power carts, there is a topic about it on nesdev.

    Nice, thanks for the heads up!

    edit: Finally done reading through that whole tread. Summary for the "TL;DR I jsut wanna click a buttan and GO" kind of people: Nothing noob-friendly out right now, but keep an eye on this project.
