Hello all,
I'm an ex programmer who loves retro gaming, so of course in some moment I arrive here.
I have some questions, that I try to find the answer around (here and internet in general), but I couldn't find any thing clear. I feel bad asking it here, because I'm sure it is maybe a question answered 1 million of times. Actually I'm reading a lot about assembly and there is plenty of info about it, but I find more difficult to find something about the hardware part. So, my questions about it are:
-What is the best way to make a cartridge for develop? let's imagine I want to do a game for after it to make 100 copies (just for this example). What would be the best way to create the cartridge dev for testing? I saw something about using an old game removing the micros and changing them for some ones you can rewrite. Is this the best way? is there any good tutorial about it? I want to write the micro straight, I don't want any kind of emulator with a sd card or similar things.
-On the other hand, do you know, when people create a kickstarter with a nes game, where does the buy the pcbs? because there is plenty of cartridge shells on aliexpress or similar, but I couldn't find anything for pcbs. Of course this second question is more secondary, it was just for curious.
Thanks so much for any help, and I'm really sorry if there is a so repetitive question, but I couldn't find a clear answer about it
