I would suggest you use Byuu's excellent emulator to test the roms before burning them to the flash chip. BSNES will only load files if they're headerless, de-interleaved and proper (exactly what they were as data inside of Nintendo's ROM chip.

And there's a tool which comes with BSNES that does "purify" the roms for you, cutting headers, identifying and renaming them to ".sfc"...

Great stuff that makes life easier. :D

Even then, there's methods to salvage the chips ! :)

You can use an scalpel and cut a bit of the epoxy of the chip casing then solder a thin wire on it.

willem.. I finally did my first one working.. the Zelda parallel worlds. I think I got the hang of the soldering. I soldered it in like 2 minutes after I ate a nice home made meal. I think All i needed was to eat lol.

no, I mean, the one that you are using to connect the TSOP chip to your SNES boards. Is this from BuyICNow? Which version are you using?
