is there any?
Or is Nintendo not allowing it? No chips for the carts available? Can't bypass the OS? Not worth it?
Answers below please

There's loads of NES homebrew.
Check this if you want a really impressive NES homebrew: Grand Theftendo
But this guy, Brian Provinciano, and Kevin Horton can do many interesting things with NES hardware. Such as the CopyNES.
cool
thanks.
What about SNES?
don't forget nes reproductions! not really homebrew, but he puts jp and beta games onto NES carts. if its dumped he can make it!

Memblers Garage Cart or something is also homebrew. If you count the game hacks theres alot. You might find something here too:

I searched around for garage cart and I can't find anything. Maybe he's taken down the info?
wasn't the garage cart like 12 hacked games in one cart and they (the guys that made it) only sold thirty carts, all of which were sold before it was even completed?
If it is what I am thinking of, they should re-release that. I'd buy one.

It had three Homebrew games on it. Munchie Attack, Hot Seat Harry and Solar Wars.
here's the original thread. http://www.digitpress.com/forum/view...ht=garage+cart
There's also nesreproductions.com and gamereproductions.com that do NES repro's
As far as SNES goes, I've only really seen hacks of Mario World or translation patches for the Japanese RPGs (and the ultimate StarFox2 patch).
Not seen any other SNES coding of interest. Anyone?
The problem apparently lies within the way the NES uses mappers. An NES flash cart would have to properly emulate all the mappers as well as the ROMs themselves, thus making the project much more complex.Originally Posted by Femtosecond
any one know where i can get a programing guide for making nes homebrews -- hopeing they have some similar to the atari ones
The human operates out of complex superiority demands, self -affirming through ritual, insiting upon a rational need to learn, striving for self-imposed goals, manipulating his environment while he denies his own adaptive abilities, never fully satisfied.

If you're talking about homebrews made akin to 2600 homebrews and releases like the ones at CGE, yes, the Garage Cart is the only one.
Man, I wish there were some homebrew NES carts. A friend of mine is Nintendo generation.
Iwant to surprise here with a Nintendo and some games; and a homebrew cart or two wouls be just awesome to add to the mix.
Now if she'd just dump her boyfriend and start dating me...
Dude, they should have seriously put Kissinger and Nixon in their own reality/sit-com show. It would be like the odd couple.
Nixon: Is that chairman Mao on the phone?
Kissinger: Yes, but you can't speak to him, you're too drunk right now.
There is a good site for homebrews HERE at PDRoms.Originally Posted by kirin jensen
Even without the homebrews there are plenty of good legal roms to get. I, like you, am surprising a friend with the Earthbound Zero cart I am ordering from NES Reproductions.
I would like to do these myself, but I am not that skilled in electronics yet and I do not know of any place online to lear the tricks. I found an article HERE but I didn't like how he tore the cart apart. The article at NES WORLD was a bit more informative, but without a step-by-step it really doesn't help me.
The gentleman at NES Reproductions said that he used to charge much more than he does now making me believe that it is tedious work to de-solder and re-solder the pins and time to program the eproms.
I usually try to make step-by-step illustrated pages when I do things myself... so if I learn how to do this you can bet I will put it out there for others.
I'll continue to search for articles that might help us out in this area and post here.
Found this in some of the homebrew topics on this site.
ROM Laboratory
Exactly what I was thinking of, but could use some installation images and clearer English. But still a great site.
