    Default Making your own SNES cartridges

    I apologize for opening a topic for this, but does anyone have the link to the page with detailed instructions on how to make a Starfox 2, or any SNES cart for that matter? I can't seem to find it anywhere and I am hell-bent on doing this.

    Get a college degree in game design and you'll be all set.

    i think he means putting your own rom on a snes cart. there are some people here whove made reproduction NES carts and i know for a fact a guy here made dragon warrior 6 (i think) on a snes cart.

    the first name that comes to mind is leonk (DP member) but he mostly deals in NES carts but i bet he could do a SNES cart if he wanted too.

    Exactly. Unless they're a born genious or have done a lot of home studying, they'd need to go to college to learn how to design a game.

    Exactly what I was looking for. I had stumbled upon it some time ago, but couldn't find it again. Off to work. Now, to get that EEPROM programmer...

    So.... you're agreeing that you're wrong? Do you read any of the posts you reply to? Are you a re-incarnation of R-zone/Rocky?


    At any rate, you may want to just look into having someone make the cart for you if you only need that ONE. Find someone who knows how to do it, and pay them. cheaper, faster, and easier than buying and learning everything just to have one cart.

    So, does anyone know anyone who does this? I tried the guy who does the nes reproductions and who may have also done that Dragon Warrior 6 cart, but he did not get back to my 2nd e-mail. I believe he is in the midst of a family emergency, so I'm sure that's taking up a big chunk of his time.

    I'd be willing to pay some $$$ for someone to get a few SNES carts together for me!!!

    FYI the StarFox 2 rom works on the Xbox SNES emulator. I was thinking about making a cart so I could run it on the SNES but since I got my Xbox modded and it runs so well on there, I'm happy with that. Plus I can play it in component video with my wireless Xbox controller

    Just another option.

    I have been using a soft-modded Xbox for years now. The SNES emulator for the Xbox leaves allot to be desired. I haven't done extensive checks on the accuracy of FX chip emulation, but the DSP1 emulation is pretty shakey. Super Mario Kart has noticable issues on the Xbox compared to a real SNES.

    yeah, i don't think SF2 emulation is anywhere near perfect on that emu, it's not even perfect with standard snes9x and zsnes

    I haven't played StarFox 2 extensively, but didn't notice any abnormalities when running it on Xsnes9x on the Xbox. It does have problems with Mario Kart, that is true, but SF2 doesn't seem to run into any snags.

    umm, the reason why someone would be interested in making a dedicated snes cart would be to avoid using emulators and play it on real hardware, no?

    I was going to do the Starfox 2 as a fun little project, and while I was at it, make English versions of Rendering Ranger & Rockman & Forte.
