CHR ROM to CHR RAM (SRAM) question

I have another question that probably was answered many times, but searching through the forum only took me to his site: http://nintendoallstars.w.interia.pl/romlab/crom2cram.htm which explains the TSROM to TGROM/TNROM. I want to change the SLROM to SGROM, change the 32 pin 128kb CHR ROM chip to 8kb...

Yes, if it wasn't so expensive. It's a shame that the older (parallel port) version isn't available any longer. I need only the PCB (or at least schematics - better than these) and the R6522AP (6522 port chip) of it if somebody has it, the rest I can build/supply myself.

Is it possible to wire cartridge's pins to the programmers socket and dump cartridge like an eprom? (this is my programmer)

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't understood why is the mapper logic so difficult. Ok then, I'm going to reproduce it 1:1 :)
(I was looking forward to test my friends' CNC drill to make PCB anyway).

Help dumping a pirate

Hello, I am trying to dump a pirate cartridge that came with a keyboard famiclone, containing some keyboard software and a couple of small games. But the only way I can do this is by reading the ROMs with my eprom reader. I can change the pinout at will (homemade adapter) but I must set a standard e...

Yes, personally I don't like the english translation, MMC3 hack was a great achievement but the translation was unnecessary.

Newer thought of selling any botlegs. Until now ... just kidding. I collect games just for myself. I have read many topics about why not destroy games to make other games. Simillar to that are people that buy Sonic and Knuckles cart just to rip out the connector for their Radica mod. But ok, I will ...

What's not fascinating for you doesn't mean it isn't fascinating for everybody! Even basic soldering for unexperienced user can be fun. Were you born with such knowledge? Geez. You think I am just an ignorant to old stuff? Have you seen my collection? Bigger part of it comes literally out of garbage...

Hmm well from what I've read, the MMC3 version isn't 100% flawless, and you cannot aply contra ips patches to it. And to prove myself that I can do it is also important. The whole process is fascinating.

I haven't found Contra cartridge for less than cca 30USD (shipping incl.). GGG cost me 3€ and I have eproms for free. It's a big difference for me. I can send the original roms to anybody for the postage cost if that means something. But I like to keep those if I ever want to revert the conversion p...

I finally received the Ganbare Goemon Gaiden - Kieta Ougon Kiseru cartridge. Can somebody please help me with the pinout? This is what I've found out so far (PRG=pin on PRG ROM, VRC = pin on VRCII chip and CNN is the cartridge connector):
