    Default Restoring Mario RPG Cart - What Should I Do?

    So I found a copy of super mario RPG, problem is the sticker was completely destroyed along with the case. My guess is a dog went at it.

    Anyway, ive tried it out and the chip still works. What could I do to restore this game? Any suggestions? If I wanted to I could junk my copy of starfox to replace the case but that would still leave me with a wrongly labeled game.

    What I've done before is get a cheap sports game/bootleg and use the case. With SMRPG however you'll need to modify the case so that the outer pins could fit. Maybe with a rotary tool?

    It seems a bit excessive to try to modify a shell. I'm not sure what the absolute cheapest game with the extra pins is, but Stunt Race FX would probably be a good candidate. And if you're willing to destroy a label, you could remove the old label, get it completely clean of any residue, and look into creating your own label. I'm sure the repro community could help in that area.

    http://www.gamereproductions.com/pro...7DSticker.html can do the label for around 2 bucks and I would use Star Fox for Stunt Race FX for the cart case, those are the cheapest/most common carts with the extra pin outs.

    I asked them & they can't reproduce any label they don't have unless it's supplied to them. Anyone have an idea what picture I should send them?

    Modifying a shell should be a piece of cake, you'd be removing less than a millimeter of material from each half of the cart. Also, the world needs less sports games
