Quick question for anyone who's made/assembled Colecovision homebrew carts: Can the circuit boards from old CV carts be salvaged?
It's a somewhat simple matter for Atari carts (as long as you have a later-release cart).
- Open cart and remove board.
- Remove ROM
- Replace with EPROM
- Wire in hex inverter
- Cut one lead on the board
- Reassemble cart.
Sure, you can always use new boards, but I was curious if the CV boards are reusable in the same manner as 2600 boards. Just askin'.
