I saw an English Esper Dream 2 cart the other day online and was considering purchasing the game if it is indeed English. Since it uses the Konami VRC6 mapper, I'm guessing more work is required to make the cart than a game with a more common mapper. I realize that there are other threads about making a custom VRC6 multicart and an English Esper Dream 2 cart, but I'm not looking into making my own cart. I just wanted to be sure before purchasing that I'm informed about English Esper Dream 2 conversions.

If it's not VRC6 it won't have the extra sound. (Sorry I think I misread something. Ignore me.)

No, in fact it is less work as Konami followed the standard EPROM pinouts in their carts (as opposed to Nintendo).

I built one, one of the easiest repros evar. Desolder, burn, solder.

Ah, finally someone who eventually state the truth and doesn't fake it that it's extremely hard to make a repro (and worth a lot of money).

I saw your thread about making an English repro. Pretty sweet.

I ended up not getting the English translation cart for now, but I may take a stab at making one of my own at some point. I'd like to start making some repros soon after I find a good modern day EPROM programmer. I had an old Willem EPROM programmer a while back, but it used the parallel port interface and I don't have any computers with a parallel port anymore. I'd like to find one that uses USB at a reasonable price.
