Ok, Scrap the post above. I removed the resistor and it now can hold a save.

Unless there is something really bad about doing it this way i will probably just leave it. Anybody?

:evil: save didn't work. I beat that land turtle for nothing :( Ive got the battery in a little round holder. Ive got gnd going staight to pin 14 and have the postive going to >>Diode>>Resistor>> pin 28. I didn't bend up pin 28 and left it connected to the board. Was that my problem? Also the ring o...

Well, my new connector arrived today and ff3 worked first try What a relief. Now all i have to do is get the battery working:(

Well, i had a crack at it yesterday. First i used kogami's plans....Blue garbled screen. 2nd used the other plans on the main site...worked perfectly but kept freezing after like 10seconds of turning it on. :( I kept playing with it trying to get it to work and broke one of the nes's connectors :evi...

Just started mucking around with some with some type 00 lo rom carts and WOW! what a breath of fresh air after making Som2 and star ocean. If only all carts were this easy :shock: 8) The question i wanted to ask was for 16mbit games can i split and stack 2 eproms on the board or do i need an encoder...

Yes, if it uses the Sa-1 just lift up pin 127 and it should work on a pal Snes.

Nintendulator. Ok thanks, i tried using it with the rom i burnt though and while it still froze the text wasn't all garbled like it was on my nes..... Il try a few more roms and if no go then i will just play the good translation on an emu. Id rather use a emu than put up with the appalling proto t...

I used the ff2 lost translation on a zelda cart and when i boot it up i get the blue screen and a bunch of garbled text scrolls across and then it freezes. That translation was made before we understood a lot of things about the PPU. I don't recall exactly what's wrong with it, just that it does Ba...

Ok, i hate to ask another question and drive this thread even FURTHER off topic but i thought its better than cluttering the board with a new one. I dont know how appropriate this question is so if you've got the answer its probably best to send me a pm. While i wait for my Mario 2's to arrive for f...

Allright, thanks for all your help. I will do some comparisons between Tk and Ts rom and then experiment until i get it right.

Ok, thanks so much for taking the time to write all that up. Had you not, i probably would have gone ahead and used the romlab diagram and ruined my game and nes! :D So with the resistors in parallel now it would go Gnd----Battery------Diode----------Sram-----------Diode------------Main power .........

NO this site is NOT right if you do it like they say your chip will be constantly powered by the battery and never by the main supply and this is BAD BAD BAD !! To have it done right you need 2 diodes, one from the main power supply, and one from the battery, each going in series with a ~1k resisto...

Well seeing how many billion people mention it at this rate they'll all be turned into FF3 carts shortly. (which is not completely a bad thing considering how good FF3 is (but the last dungeon is HARD) even if we here don't support people making repros) Hey Bregalad, i was reading over some previou...

I gave up looking in my home country and decided to start asking people on Ebay Us and surprised how many i found. There not that rare at all, infact one seller replied telling me a way you can tell if they are full pinned by the label! Im not sure how accurate it is but i will find out soon enough ...

Ive been casually looking for one of these things for nearly a year now messaging the owner every time one is listed on the Ebay in my country but to no avail :( Does anybody know or have an idea numbers wise how rare these things are and if anybody has ever found one outside the Us? Also, if i beco...
