It can if you cut the VCC to all but one cart. Damn am I the only one reading this thread all the way through?:P It sure seems like it. I don't see any reason why a VCC switch shoulden't work just fine. Unless there's something i'm missing, this is really just the main trick to this problem, and if...

CONNECTORS! http://logan-1.mirror.waffleimages.com/files/bc/bc364768954ad574ebd09a9f80f67fcf461d638e.jpg Ugh. These were a bitch to find. The guy at my local surplus computer salvage place had a few universal cables for $3 each. I picked up enough to make a prototype 2-game switch -- If it works and...

Once again, simply cutting off a cartridge will initiate BRK to $0000, & another cartridge can be inserted, assuming the next game doesn't assume empty ram is #00. I've tried this before. The whole CIC theory, however, won't work. It will continue to reset. It shoudl be pretty easy to make the ...

It's annoying. Mostly because we had a ton of these just a few months ago, but got rid of them all, thinking we woulden't need them for anything. Is there a specific name (besides 5.25" floppy cables) for ribbon cables with connectors like these: http://img.waffleimages.com/1bbb4d9ba83477868987...

arg. I'm having a really hard time finding connectors, or even old floppy cables locally. I know a few places I can order either online, but I was hoping to work on it a bit tonight. There's one place in Morgan Hill and another in Downtown San Jose that might have it - i'm going to try to make the d...

that is not relevant 72-60 adapters are still readily available for purchase and I am sure there are resellers with give you a price discount to ordering larger amounts hit google and find a good deal Oh yeah, I know - I already have enough connectors to try the 2-cart, I just won't have the time t...

I'm not going to go through the trouble to quote this time, but I see where our points intersect. I mostly agree with you - I'm just don't have the passion for backups as you do. It's hard to argue with your points. I still don't think Rom dumping is for me. I agree with you that its not ideal to pu...

dont take this the wrong way but do you honsetley think you can pull off such a device? clearley not, it would be very costley and requires an extencive background in electronics , at this point it appears your just rambleing on to try to save face. Why dont you just admit your in over your head? I...

Nintendo is trying to sell you (and perhaps resell you) games you could purchase used legally (sometimes for less money) that you have a right to dump. The way I see it to stay on your high horse you only have to keep things legal, which easily sets you aside from 99% of the rest of the world. My g...

a stance I disagree with, seeing how useful they are for homebrew applications. I bet Nintendo would say homebrew is illegal anyway (even if this is not true). haha, no doubt. They get pretty protective. Still, I man can dream of the day Nintendo opens it's "classic" platforms to develope...

Zippo lighter fluid takes of sticky labels and stuff like that really easy. I'd try that, and just on the label area.

Many people feel the same as you, that's why they backup their very own game carts legally... If you want a project, creating a game dumper is a very good one. ... BTW, to be really moral you wouldn't buy any used games because the developers only see the initial sale. Today to still support the de...

Why would you want to permanently solder your games to a floppy cable instead of buying cartridge connectors? This will not only look horrible but will be extremely fragile. As already stated, I do not intend to solder the games themselves to anything. The plan is to make a few of those ugly connec...

You can get 72 pin connectors from MCM Electronics (but they seem expensive, and I dont think can be attached properly to a regular PCB. There's the 72 pin connector on this page http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/electrical.shtml But I have no idea if it fits properly, etc.. Someone would n...
