Is it possible to transplant the chips from one NES cart board to another?
Could you move just the EPROM (program rom) or would you have to move the others as well (character rom ect)?
How about the capacitor and resistor, if they differ will it matter?
The problem I am having seems to be the pins on my Bubble Bobble cart. I bought it from a rental shop that was going out of business for a scant $2. I shelved tha game for a while but, recently I've been playing my NES so I popped BubBob in the toaster. All I got out of it was a grey screen. So I took the cart out for a thorough cleaning... no dice. Oddly enough, after cleaning the cart (cotton swap/alcohol) the gray screen was replaced with a purple screen and for the first time since replacing my pin connector, my NES blinked! I opened the cart to investigate further. I was completely horrified to discover what awaited me inside. Some numbnut had decided to play deranged surgeon with a flat-head screwdriver. The jackass literally ASSAULTED the connector pins with his implement of destruction, I assume, in an attempt to free the board from the case. My thoughts were perhaps the pins have been severed.
I have 2 possible board donors; Tecmo Bowl and Pro Wrestling. I thought perhaps Pro would be better suited for the transplant because it has all the pins on it's board, just like BubBob. Has anyone done this before? Any aide would be very much apprecited.
My most sincere thanks in advance,
