View Full Version : How to make a tangible SNES cart from a ROM file?

Hey-

After having a smashing birthday/gaming party (thanks to 4-player PS2 Tekken Tag Tournament, 7-player Death Tank Zwei, & 10-player Saturn Bomberman), I realized that the SNES Bomberman games support a mere 4 or 5 players. I thought they hosted 8. I went & bought 2 taps & 8 controllers just for SNES Bomberman. Doy. :-[


In my search for justification for having all those SNES taps & controllers, I found this: http://gra.dforce3000.de/

Alas, this homebrew is available only as a ROM file download for an emulator. I'm not into emulators (except MAME...) & wanted to know how I could get this game onto a real, honest-to-goodness, tangible, hold-in-my-hand cartridge.

Anybody got any experience with that?

Thanks,
-Jason

A SNES flash cart?

What you want is usually called a Reproduction Cart, or Repro. There are several threads around about them, and I'm sure someone here would be willing to make you a cart for a price.

There is a guy here named pootle that can do this for you. Should be around $60 or so. There are also copiers and flash carts is about all that can be done.

You should look into getting a copier, so that you can play any game you want (except for the ones that use special chips).
It's the only real way I can play NTSC English Terranigma on my SNES. No PAL modding for me!

Pootle helped me out--great, quick, reasonably-priced work--thanks!
