    Why not just change the PCB board and cart instead? I assume your thinking of the fake Chiller cart tho hehe. I can think of one way to do it. First you need to peal one corner so you got "access" to the glue. Then you take a q-tip with some special alcohol (dont know the english word for it, but i use it to remove pricetags from boxes without damaging the box) and start rubbing carefully and wait alittle until the glue have loosen up. Then peal the label some more and repeat the process.

    I did that once.

    Someone out there has a Legend of Zelda with a Cobra Command PCB in it, and vice versa...

    They were stolen and I never switched the chips back.

    Oops!! :P

    I was wondering this too, as the casing on my Vegas Dream cart is cracked on the bottom so the pcb gets pushed all the way inside when I try to play it. With a fairly common game like this though it would probably be easier just to buy a new one...

    no you cant switch the pcb board in my case. the reason i asked this question is because, on the front of my snow brothers cart. there is a place where someone tried to remove marker with alcohol. and it kinda melted the front casing a bit. And its on the front of the cart right under the front label. Now i cant switch carts unless the whole label would be removed and put on a new cart. Though im probably never gonna try to do it but i was curious. i could only switch the back of the cart.

    I've done this with a few common carts for practice, my conclusion was that it's very risky and possibly not worth the effort. The glue used to adhere NES labels is trickier than the kind used on Atari 2600 carts and other earlier stuff.
