:help: I sent an email to gamereproductions.com asking if it was possible to replace the ROM image on a SFC cart, with an English translated version, or an english patch. He doesn't have any experience with doing this however (or he's playing dumb to make me pay full price for a repro :evil:).
:confused: Are the SFC and SNES versions of games identical internally? I would assume so, and thus this saves the trouble of having to find a compatible donor cart, or having to buy extra parts, and have to solder. I've been reading up on repro carts, but have yet to hear if this is possible or not.
I spent close to 3 1/2 years in Okinawa JP, and amassed quite a collection. Unfortunately, language isn't my forte, so I doubt I'll ever be adept enough to actually play these games in their native language. I have seen a Starfox 2 on this site that had a switch to go from Japanese to English. If that is possible, that is what I would want the most, so someday I can attempt to play in Japanese.
I'm also curious how this would effect your save states. Would you be able to flip the switch mid game play, or would it be 2 separate batteries for a save in each language?
:puppydogeyes: Any info would be greatly appreciated. And especially if anybody knows someone who could do this for me. I'm willing to pay fair price for a rewrite, and even more for a dual language set up.
