Recieved. Unfortunately I am away from the house for the moment and any orders will have to wait for quotation until Monday, but I'll get back to you guys!

Awesome, thanks for the permission guys.

Just thought I would add, I also can offer a Copy-NES installation service. Price would be similar to that of the dev cart, however you would supply the NES and CopyNES boards.

It would be great to have a site like that... I know one of my frustrations when trying to learn to program the NES was how many different documents from different sites I had to dig up just to acomplish something simple. We really could use a central repository of info.

Though using socketed EPROMs for development is pretty unfriendly, I'd definitely say to wire them up for flash chips. Actually, some of my stuff is parallel EEPROMs, which should be a little better (got sick of erasing). Just nothing above CNROM capacity. I could aquire a flash inventory, just nee...

Yeah, if it does no hard feelings just take it down. I saw the SNES PowerPak thread though and figured I'd see.

This is sort of an ad, but just as much I consider this a community service for newbies. I'm not in this for a profit but if anyone thinks this violates forum rules please don't hesitate to take it down. I have quite a few dev carts laying around for my own use I basically don't need anywhere near a...

Look at the wiki here. You'll find that MMC3 is usually of type TxROM: http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/MMC3 http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/TxROM You'll need to replace both chips from your board with equivalent size EPROMS, and probably do a small bit of rewiring if you need to replace a DIP-...

I guess I just need to practice more.

No problem. Just be advised that soldering can sometimes be a tricky business involving a fair amount of burnt fingers (I learned this the hard way. )

Unfortunately, Memblers is right. You'll have to do some rewiring.

Best of luck to you though.

Supposedly, the pinout of a NES Cartridge's ROM pins and EPROM pins isn't the same. I keep hearing this, but it works fine for me with my NROM devcart, which is little more than a couple of ZIF sockets pin for pin wired up. So I don't think that's true. I get my EPROMS from futurlec. Be aware they ...

If you want a simple cart to make your own games with EPROMS, I built a dev cart for NROM-128 games (that's 8kb CHR and 16kb PRG) tthat utilizes two ZIF socket so you can just plug the games in. Works great. However, I don't need it anymore since my own project has upgraded to use U*ROM carts. It al...

Ironically, this happened just after I bought one. However, I ain't selling it.

I do have a Powerpak Lite I've had for a bit though that's for sale if anyone wants it.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking I'll just stick with what is simple and go with U*ROM. Should be simpler to implement bankswitching from.

Just another newb question, I recently began assembly of a Reproboard and was wondering what the differences between U*ROM and A*ROM is mapper wise? Which would be better for development? Is it simply the bank size? If so, why the extra mapper chip for U*ROM on the Reproboard?
