IIRC many clones use those ground pins as an auto-switch to disable an internal game rom when a cart is inserted (via a 4066/transistor/etc)

yep, modifying the registration form is an easy way to prevent many bots from coming in.

You do realize that my post covered that method, correct?
Anyways, guess I can wait the few weeks for a complete item, I doubt it'd kill me

Sure you could solder straight to the card edge or PCB, but those options would require opening of the case and excess solder on the card edge could inhibit insertion to a slot (more likely to inhibit non-official/non-zif connector types) As far as the GG, I'd assume register mapping/bootrom conflic...

If the bootrom is upgradeable via copyNES (which I have at least ), does it do a serial write to upgrade? (Just wondering if it programs over 1 pin or mutliple) Shouldn't be *too* bad to wire a cart slot to a pc and make a small rom upgrade ap.

I was just thinking how I wish I could go, then I see this on the site: Saturday March 17th with Bit Shifter and Post Prior Northern Michigan University Great Lakes Rooms Don H. Bottum University Center Marquette, MI 6:30pm doors NMU students free / non-NMU students $10 (I live < 30 miles away :))

Why not just use or modify a set of playmessiah nes or snes wireless controllers?

Loading up executable code in ram that modifies the incoming disc data after the swap maybe?

Because unethical and morally bankrupt workarounds like that are the backbone of the law

Planning on using it with Contiki or something?

Some good ones, like http://store.northshoreshirts.com/letmedrevand.html

Has anyone tried using the copynes client in dosbox?

That last one could've been horrible for business if implemented. When I was young (and even still) I rented before I bought

With the rom that you have, are you comparing the incoming data directly with the rom data, or are you starting at the prg data in the rom?
If you want to split the file, you can do it manually after reading the header, or use something like ucon64
