Cool! Do you want to reverse these two monsters? :) (Madara VRC6, Lagrangepoint VRC7)?
I'm going to unsolder the components, I can do PCB scans for you on the scanner.

PS. Please change the name of the topic to REVERSE Engineering, because I thought at first it was some kind of engine from Kid Dracula :)

I don't just reverse engineer I also create the board compatible with the chips

I just won't post. because it's piracy
if you can get good photos at 600 dpi I can do it
have to be aligned like the stars

Recreating and sharing PCBs for things where the patent has long run out is not piracy nor is it disallowed. On the contrary it helps people repairing old things and helps in avoiding to resort to cannibalize donor boards when creating new things.

It is also possible to make a copy of the Mona Lisa's smile, which is becoming more and more oxidized and discolored, but it cannot be forged as an original or even as a commercial act



It can be used commercially if printed materials rather than collectibles are marked as plane figure

Yeah if it's made too look as close as possible to the original it's a forgery and definitely a serious matter. But this seems to be a clear reproduction with no similarities to the original so I don't see any problems with it. It must of course be used with cartridge shells that also clearly looks like repros though since that's what buyers are gonna see.

I unsoldered all the components, when I get to the scanner I will make you scans of the board.

The whole PCB pr0n can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... BMu7ZLcTaC
I don't just reverse engineer I also create the board compatible with the chips
No motives were stated in the topic :) I thought you were doing this just to restore and preserve the line of VRC pcb's.

I make my own games from any console. I don't like to pay for them. prices are unfair. exactly this link reverse engine is because I want to make twinbe3- think of a fanatic for all twin-be and bomberman .
preservation would be to recreate the console with open source. doesn't exist yet.
really i would do the madara. I'm interested in putting a multigame on this board on a new pcb
i bought one from japan recently
How do you disassemble the chips? 0 the fantastic this

:D Nintendo and its affiliates' patents on game brands are all active. so it's not good to play with it.

Copyright and trademarks on things like the game code and brand names are still in effect (so selling games with unauthorized ROMs are obviously illegal), not the hardware patents on the Famicom. Forgeries (replicating the exact look and feel) are still illegal though.

I guess the Dracula-kun image on the silkscreen may be considered copyright infringement.
