Hey guys, I want to make my first reproduction cart and have some questions. I have soldering/desoldering experience, just no EPROM experience. I'm going to do Lagrange Point for Famicom. The original famicom cart is on the way. I have read in many places that I just remove the PRG chip and install the EPROM chip with the patched ROM.
Here is the bootgod: http://bootgod.dyndns.org:7777/profile.php?id=3643
I can use a EPROM 27C040 correct?
I also need a programmer. Is there a common cheap recommendation for this? Can I use the Willem EPROM programmer such as this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-KEE-Willem- ... 1531758605
I don't quite understand the design of the above programmer. It uses USB power or AC. Do I interface with it using USB or DB25? Do I need AC power to write to the EPROM?
I can use a tool like below to remove the iNes header and that's all I need to do to the patched English .nes ROM file? The file I write to the EPROM is a .bin file stripped of the iNes header correct?

Thanks!
