Hi, Ive made atleast 10+ pal starfox 2's for friends etc without any problems except for the rare freeze. Ive just had my first shot at making a Us one though and have ran into nothing but problems. When it boots up it nintendo logo displays fine along with the music but when mirage dragon destroys ...

Ok heres the better method but one wire still needs to be soldered to the connector

Lo to Hi rom conversion

Eprom pin 1 to hole 2
Eprom pin 31 to hole 1
Eprom pin 30 to hole 24
Eprom pin 2 to hole 3
Eprom pin 3 to Cart connector 40
Eprom pin 24 to Gnd or Mad-1 pin 4

TKROM -> TNROM conversion (mapper 4): PRG socket: Bend up pins 1, 2, 24, 30 and 31 (or cut tracks 2, 24, 30 and 31) Solder pin 2 to hole 24 (A16) Solder pin 24 to GND (OE) Solder pin 30 to hole 1 (A17) Solder pin 31 to hole 2 (A18) CHR RAM conversion: Seat the RAM chip 2 pins back (pin 1 of RAM is p...

Ok, ive got Bs zelda working on a Lo-rom type 00. ATM it involves soldering to the cart connector pins which isn't good as it eventualy warps the pins in the snes cart slot, so i will change that in the next one i do by soldering to the proper pads instead. But heres what i did for others who are in...

Do you mean 3 Megabit, or 3 MegaByte? There is a huge difference. For a 3 MegaByte ROM you will probably needed a decoder and three 27C801 EPROMs. And I suppose properly you'd enable the first ROM also as a "4th" ROM to properly mirror but I doubt any game would rely on this but it's poss...

Well, when i went today to make my second ff3 and prepared the rom with the pal patch and compared it to my first one it was smaller by .200kb....Yup i used an overdump the first time*face palm* I sorta got side tracked half way through so its only a 1/3 finished, but i did promise picies so here is...

Ok, Some good news. I got Bs zelda working, bad news was that it was on one of my very limited Hi rom 64k + bat carts. I want to save that for something else and have a sh*t tonne of type 00 lorom carts SO, can and how would i convert those to hi rom? Id still also like to make some 3mb carts and wo...

Ok, it sounds like your new rom carts but are you also new to soldering? If so then stay the hell away from Starfox 2 as your first cart(or atleast be prepared to go through 10 Stunt races before you get it right). I HIGHLY reccomend trying something simple like Nightmare busters first. But, if your...

Clean as in the original japanese dump?

Those messages were made by the japanese->english translators, not me. My patch just changes some timed code, and the pitch table of the music. (I also tweaked the scrolling updates in v1.2). Yes, i knew you didn't do that. What i didn't know was what version of the rom i was using. I thought the m...

You should use v1.2 of my PAL fix IPS patch (available on romhacking.net). If you used v1.0 (or nothing at all) I didn't fix the raster effect on the world map. Doh! Oh well, good thing im making another one. Are there any other glitches other than that? The version im using had "not for sale&...

Well i tried the Tsop method and failed miserably plus i have a tonne of 27c801's that im not using for anything. So does anybody know what encoder i need? Ive got a bunch of the 4-1 encoders, could i just use that connecting the 1st and 2nd eproms to lines 1 and 2 respectively and then the 3rd epro...

Ok, well i eventually ended up losing my saves and decieded to wire up the battery properly with the capacitors and resistors etc I would post pics now but im pretty close to the end (Its a huuuuuge game for the nes) and it took me ages to get it working properly on my nes due to the crappy connecto...

Wait, So do you mean actually use a singular 4mbit eprom or split it onto 4 1mbits with dummy/doubled up data on the last one?

Surely theres a way to just use 3 1mbits?

Yup. Thats the pic i was talking about. I ran all the patches, downloaded everything from that site using the "real hardware" rom and just couldn't get it to work. I even tried it on a hi rom cart with 256k ram and no good :( As for my original question im guessing its probably easiest to ...
