Not by the collectors though.

With most commodities, this is fixable: another supplier introduces a close substitute to shake up the perception. It's happened with Scio Diamond (which bought Apollo Diamond in 2011) as an alternative to the De Beers cartel and its "blood diamonds". The difference here is that copies of works of authorship hold a special place in developed countries' law, making close substitutes impossible to provide lawfully in some cases, and the problem is that Nintendo appears to want to feed this perception of rarity. And I don't think there's enough free time for fans to develop a "spiritual successor".

So, is there a way to program the TSOP chips when they are already on the adapter?

I was looking at the pre-soldered AM29F032B on the DIP36 adapter, and if I can just plug that into my G540 and program it, that would save me a lot of time and effort in making a couple of dual-language carts out of some Japanese SNES games I have.

Sure there is a way, I have posted an adapter for the Willem based programmers, but I am sure it can be altered for other types of programmers as well.

I do all of my carts that way, mounting a tsop on a BuyICNow carrier, and then programming them.

I looked at your post history, and I'm confused.

Are you talking about the extended address header board, or the old TypeII TSOP adaptors that swapped A20/A21 on the TSOPs?

If it's just a matter of swapping pins, I can construct my own adaptor with a breadboard and an extra ZIF socket.

If it's the extended address header, the MCUMall website says the newer willem programmers don't need it.

I have a cheap G540, so I'd have to do some research to see if it could program a TSOP via the dip36 adapter.

For the extended address, the pin on the 40 pin zif socket of the GQ-4x are as follow (found by trial and error

)

A19 = PIN 4
A20 = PIN 37
A21 = PIN 38

It might be the same or similar for the G540 if you're lucky.

so if I were to make a converter, I'd just need to make sure the TSOP package's A19-21 are on the right pins for my programmer?

I assume every other pin is 1:1?
