With mine, you push down on this button, and when your ready to have it suck the solder up, press another button, and it will well, suck it up.
I bought one of those... but coudn't even get to the point of using it! Maybe the soldering iron is not working well, I coudn't get anything to melt. It is a very cheap and old one, I'll try to buy a new one soon. Almost did it today, but I figured the one I had would do. I was wrong.

I personally have never had any of my NROM devcarts work on a real NES. I tried it with my old shit that probably wouldn't work on a NES anyways, so the next time I'll just try replacing the mask roms with some EPROMs programmed with another NROM game that actually works.
Yeah, i think I'll try to program chips with some commercial game, just to see if it works and I don't get frustrated so soon. And i'm just trying NROM because no rewiring is needed. What board did you get working, Celius?
Anyway, after you succeed in removing the ROM, is it any hard to solder a socket in it's place? I'm doing what Memblers (I think) said, have one socket soldered to the board and another with the chip, and then the sockets are the ones connected and disconnected all the time, and nothing important gets damaged.
