and I thought what a great Idea!!

I just want to know has any know made one of these adapter,
and does any one have a copy of the PCB art in the correct size/scale?

They work, http://aprilog.com/ makes them. Here is a picture of one used to make SD3, not mine nor do I remember where I found it:

Ohh great, 20 buck is a expensive for just the pcb!
do you know if they are 100% compatible with the snes mask rom?

I might just try and make the pcb, can one have the correct sized PCB art?

Hey I have been trying to build a TSOP40 to SNES adaptor for some time !! I have not been able to test it but it should be working ! Only thing left for me is a homemade SNES to willem adaptor to flash the chip !! I could make my eagle cad files public if peoples want to test it !! Also a group order of maybe 75 of those board would cost less than 2$ each so it would be cool !

Ey, I could be interested on those CAD files! It would be great to take a look at them...

As for the price, I think 75 boards are too many... maybe smaller orders would be more interesting.

I say 75 because on most pcbproducer the minimum order will be aroud 50 et 100 !! Me I would take 20 board for myself ! My cad are not perfect but should be in working order !! PM your email and I will send theme to you !

I would be very interested in those files.

as for making the PCB 75 is a lot, I was planing to use the rom lad's PCB and send it here.

They will make five for 33 dollars, It's a good deal for such a small amount.

let me know how the SNES to willem adaptor if you make that it will be as good as a flash cart.

It's 33$ each board and the fifth one is free !! But it's still cheap !!

Ohh right, I think I might just try make my on pcb with copper clad.

have you finished designing the PCB art?

flagoss · Post by **flagoss** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 5:16 pm

Yeah everything seem to be ok but it's my first time with eagle so I am not sure ! And someone should check if I made some mistake before trying on cooper cladboard !! PM me your email I will send you the art so you can check !

I just sent you my email.

Ill have a look over it (im not the best at PCB design but I no a few people at are and that could take a look at it to)

Can someone look at the following shematic and tell me why is the 20 and 21 adresses been inverted !???

no i can't tell you.

but what I can tell you, is that a 29F080 is only 1 megabyte in size,
so only address bits A0 to A19 on the flash chip matter.

And "inverted" is incorrect terminology. I don't see not gates or inverters anywhere. The labels are swapped. Why? No idea.

The Shematic has been modified for 29f032 ( 4Mo ) !! But I think it's only a typo error !! I am gonna test my pcb this weekend so we will know if everything is alright !

Hey, i got some 29f032 and the adapters and im just wondering how the hell you solder these things? More specifically how you hold them in place on the contacts? mine keep sliding around.
