Making repoduction NES/SNES carts?

My understanding, based on what I've read on Google, is that the DIP36-TSOP40 Adapter is suitable for SNES reproductions, that's that one I linked to isn't it? Or did I link to the wrong one? :concern:

 

DIP36-TSOP40 adapter doesnt describe its wiring. This is something you dont seem to be understanding - thats a generic term.

There are 3 different adapters on that site, all called DIP36-TSOP40. I could also make 100's of different DIP36-TSOP40 adapters, again all with completely different wiring.

As I said, 2 of the address lines are switched on the adapter you linked.

 

Sorry, you'll have to forgive my ignorance of the nitty-gritty technical side of reproductions, I study design you see, this really isn't my field of expertise Hmmm, I see, even if you're using an adaptor to convert a eprom, you need a suitable layout. Okay, according to THIS PAGE, the "Type III" DIP36-TSOP40 is the correct one to use for SNES reproductions (I thought I linked to the type III previously, but I think I copied the wrong link ). It's mentioned that it doesn't switch the address lines like you said was a problem with the one I previously linked. Does this also gel with your knowledge Bad_Ad84?

 

Adapter 3 does look identical to 2 with A20 and A21 swapped from me briefly checking the traces.

However, your pricing is pretty much what I was offering too.

 

Ah, you've come up with a final price have you? Lay it on me good sir!

 

also interested in pricing

 

I was looking at this articel:

Does any one sell this ?kits? Bad_Ad84?

 

does anyone have the cad files for these adapters? I'd make some myself, but I'd probably do this as low cost as possible and need to enlarge the vias

 

I wish reproduction makers would make their own boards instead of destroying existing games. You can buy clone CIC chips online now to get past the protection, which you can solder to your custom boards.

Things like the memory mapper chip can be implemented easily in a small CPLD.

 

Some people thankfully are making new NES boards, and new SNES boards are certainly possible to. However unfortunately people will still destroy old games as they are a cheap and easy source for all the components needed.

 

Does any one sell Japanese Super Famicom – English Translations, Conversions DIY kits?

I've been following this thread for the past 4 weeks. I learned a lot but I still not clear on one thing. Will the ST M29F032D-70N6 (TSOP Adapter III) here allow me to avoid wire swapping? Basically is this a straight solder job after programming the game, or do I need to use wires to correct pin configurations?

 

I for one do not cry at the loss of sports titles. Different story for other games.

Be nice if there was something that held a charge longer than EPROMs and flash though.

 

I agree about sports titles but, I've seen people using games like Mega Man 2 and Zelda to make their hacked cartridges. That is sad. No one cares if useless Sports Title Year ## gets turned into something someone would actually play. But people will actually tear up good games just because they are too lazy to get a completely worthless game.

EPROMs and Flash can last a very long time. Not as long as a MaskROM clearly. But still they can last decades. And in the case of EPROMs if they aren't abused or damaged somehow, when the data programmed begins to fade you can just erase it and reprogram it and you're good to go for a couple more decades or more.

 

Can anyone actually do repros here? I'm willing to supply the carts?

 

I have new snes boards.

 

PM'd

 

i have a pile of sports titles i have been digging up from every back water place in my area for this. I would love new boards and plastic cases as well. I know retro zone uses them but doesn't sell snes boards or karts. My main problem is trying to figure out what donor is needed for what game and compatibility. Lets say i wanted to make a copy of harvest moon for the snes ( for person use i promise). i am trying to figure out what i should use to achieve this. Sadly I am new to all of this. Like that adopter that you all are are talking about the's cheep way around this correct i was under the impression it was a eprom swap out. any ways if you could help me out with this i would be grateful. thanks a lot

 

I have a bunch of these boards and chips from that same site but I'm soldering them on myself with a nice hot air rework station. I'm using a Willem programmer(GQ-3X) with the appropriate adapter to program the chip then soldering it on the board but haven't had success in verifying the write with it, does anyone have any experience with this programmer? I'm using old sports titles for my repos since no one cares and many of them have the right chips for many of the good games.

 

I sold some chips to APE soldered to the adapter - he has also had issues writing them with the GQ-4X. I assume there is some software issue with that programmer. Although some people report success. Might be worth trying old versions.
