    Default Replacing import Carts with translations?

    Hey,

    First off I'd like too note that I have know knowledge of making/reproducing carts and such, but I was wondering if it's possible too replace what's on a jap or such cart with the translated version of the same? Onto the same board and everything.

    I don't think it's possible. Certain games only work as "donor" carts with certain other games, as far as I know.

    Why would one do such a thing? Just use a flash cartridge.

    If it's the very same game of course it would work, installing the modified software might be more complicated than simply dropping in a new chip though. And no, don't ask me how to do it, look it up yourself.
