so i was wondering what methods people use to remove labels from carts when making reproductions? i tried using a razor, but it was a pain. anybody tried goo gone?

just got this in the mail the other day:

works great and only cost me about 130 bucks shipped.

any good?

thanks

well, not really. i get the title screen and as soon as i hit a button, it freezes. I am pretty sure it is the board because i tried to put glory of hercules on it first and it did the same thing...so then i tried zelda and found out it was the board. now summer is here and i have no amibiton to fix...

yes, they are "laminated". i actually print out the labels on non glossy matte paper and then use packaging tape to make them waterproof. the thing is i am too cheap to buy a photo printer, so i print them out at work on a laserjet (quality isnt as good). and since most packaging tape is t...

can you recommend a good desolder station? With simple desoldering pumps? I can't imagine how one can pull traces off with those... They barelly touch the board... No, it's because you have to heat the solder up so much first that this weakens the adhesion of the nearby traces to the board. I need t...

oh, ok. i have a king of kings cart and wanted to make escape from atlantis. heres some pics of the games i got: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e371/coinheaven/repro1.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e371/coinheaven/repro2.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e371/coinheaven/repro3.jpg i al...

do color dreams dev carts need to be rewired, or can i just solder the eprom on like an NROM?

so how do you guys desolder the original nes rom chips? I usually cut the rom off with wire cutters, then take out the pins that were left, and finally use a solder sucker to suck out the remaining solder...but this is getting really old and is very time consuming. is there an easier way?

thanks for the info

does this have the same amount of space as a 27c020 eprom? If so, can i put a 256kb file on it? thanks

thanks for the tips. could i just get a new battery and use some industrial epoxy to adhere the battery to the original connectors? i mean, the batteries last 15-20 years, so its not like i have to take it out anytime soon.

how do i replace a battery that is soldered in? i looked it up on yahoo, but only found guides for batteries that were not soldered.

wow, that looks pretty good. thanks for the info, ill have to give it a try.
