Some of my recent repro carts

Which game is this SHVC-BJ3M-01?

Final Fantasy VI (Super Famicom), I think.

Final Fantasy VI (Super Famicom), I think.

In this case, yes, it's Final Fantasy 6 SFC.

Hi, Kogami,

I was looking at the pictures of your tester. Why is there a switch in the right part of it? Do you need that to increase current when using 6 eproms?
I couldn't figure out the need of it.

Got bored of soldering wires, so i've designed some EPROM adapter PCBs These two carts use 27C322 EPROMs connected as 8 bit;





I've also designed a more complex adapter that allows the full capacity of a 27C322 to be used, will post pics when the PCBs arrive.

Andy.

Great work man, the Labyrinth label is so freaking sweet

Hey group. I new to this forum but not new to Snes hacks and cart adapters.

Projects I'm working on:
Star Fox Trilogy. All 3 starfox games on one cartridge (star fox 1,2 and competition).

Projects completed
Yoshi's Islands rom adapter so YI hacks can be installed on real hardware. Easy to change EPROMs

4 EPROM (32m) adapter to put on a Snes cart and it all fits inside case

And some others

Would like to find out how to put star ocean on a non ssd1 cart. Any body figure this one out?

Finally received my 16 bit 27C322 adapter PCBs The design uses two 74HCT245s and a 74HCT139 to access all 16 address lines on the EPROM, meaning you can have games up to 32mbit in size on one chip. No messy wiring needed, and it fits neatly onto an original game PCB



This is the first repro cart i've built using the new boards, Panic in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Also built myself a Super Back to the Future 2 cart using the simple adapter board;

Now that is sweet! lol

[bust3dstr8]

That's a nice setup Pootle. Why did you opt for the 322 adapter board instead of the 29F032 TSOP that most
people use? Was it mostly because of the price of those 32Mbit flash chips now?

[pootle]

27C322 eproms are a lot cheaper and easier to find these days, even with the cost of the extra components on the adapter board. Plus i like designing PCBs

Finished building a Starfox 2 cart using my newly designed adapter board Once again this has both the Japanese proto, and the English translation on the same cart.

My first (real) cartmod: turned a horrible US football game into translated (non-English) Zelda:



Looks like crap, but I'll improve =)

Hey, pootle, that adapter is really nice. Do you intend to specify how it was made?

[bust3dstr8]

Phantasy Star II Text Adventures parts 1-8 multicart.

[aryoshi]

SNES Star Ocean (English Translation) (NTSC US)
Built for a fellow DP forum member. Was really impressed by the game, am planning on building one for myself now

.. oh my god I want that SOOOO bad.



I also ordered a repro for Seiken Densetsu III the other day, very, very eager for that.

hi, where to find a tutorial for a beginner? thanks a lot

hi, where to find a tutorial for a beginner? thanks a lot

I looked for that a lot and did not find one. This isn't a simple task for everybody. Also the information I found is very technical. There are one or two tutorials on how to make a basic repro, but almost no explanation about it. It's simply "remove the mask ROM, solder a new one, rewrite these pins and it's done". You can make a repro, but won't understand what you're doing.

I knew nothing about electronics or eletricity, so I bought a book about it and read it. I also asked a friend for tips.
Bought materials and tools I didn't have, like soldering iron, EPROM programmer and stuff.

I recently made my first repro (a few posts behind), but there is still a lot of things I have to learn. I basically have very few knowledge about digital electronics currently (I learned mostly about analog electroncis). I'm trying to make the ROM tester Kogami made, but it's VERY difficult for me. Been on it for a few months and no success so far.

So, unless you're willing to learn about a lot of basic stuff BEFORE going into repros and also spend money buying everything you'll need, you'll certainly won't be able to make repros. As you probably realised, repro makers generally aren't very helpful.
