You guys didn't take into account the fact that Tiny Toons lacks wram+battery, that would explain both why pcb fits normal size case and the weight difference, but yeah...these are still some speculations, which have to be confirmed. The best way would be to open TT2 cart, and to be completely sure - replace roms with eproms/flashes with lagrange programmed on them....that's lots of work, though
Wikipedia says:
'The VRC7 was a very advanced MMC chip from Konami, not only supporting bank switching and IRQ counting equivalent to the VRC6 but also containing a YM2413 derivative providing 6 channels of FM Synthesis audio. This advanced audio was used only in the Famicom game Lagrange Point; while the Japanese version of Tiny Toon Adventures 2 also used the VRC7, it did not make use of the extended audio.[9]'

Probably the only way would be to exange two VRC7 chips between TT2 and Lagrange Point, and see if each one behaves like if they're supposed to.
Oh yeah, you're right here. I didn't think about that in the first place because commodorejohn said that he want's to get some funky game to work on vrc7 cart without sacraficing Lagrange, so my sugestion was to first check Lagrange game on TT2j cart.
I probably will check vrc7 chip swap myself, as I've got Lagrange already, so now it's just a matter of getting TT2j...

Get Lagrange on a TT2j cart would be possible only if the PCB has a slot for RAM and a battery (even if those are unused), wich may or may not be the case.
I have no idea if his funky game needs SRAM+Battery, if they don't it's definitely possible to run on a VRCVII without sacrifing Lagrange, else I don't know.[/code]
Well, TT2j is only half the ROM size anyway, so yeah, it'd be a lot easier to swap the VRC7 chips. As to the game I had planned, save RAM would be convenient, but I could just go with a password - like I said way back at the start, it's not a terribly complex game.
