Hi all,
I've got the following situation. I'm 'making' my first custom game, it's going to be a present for someone. I've changed most of the sprites in Super Mario Bros 2 (and if I've got some time left, i'm going to try to change the music). I want to make a real cartridge out of this, but I'm not sure what donor-cartridge I should get. I think I can just use a Super Mario Bros 2 cartridge but I'm trying to get the cheapest game-cartridge I can find.
So that leaves me with a couple of questions:
Thanks for looking, I'm looking forward to the answers

EDIT: I thought I was putting this in the Newbie subforum. If this is the wrong subforum, could someone please move it?

So that leaves me with a couple of questions:
- Since I'm only changing the graphics (and music) in the game, do I still need to look for a donor-cartridge as if I’m trying to make a SMB2 repro?
- The game needs to be played on a European NES, that’s why I’m changing a PAL-version of the game. Do I need a PAL donor-cartridge or is there no hardware difference?
- What would be a suitable donor-cartridge? I know there are some certain things I need to look for such as hardware (MCC3A), iNES Mapper (4) and perhaps PCB Class (NES-TSROM). When I search the Bootgod database for these options, I only get 3 carts (All of them are SMB2). However when I do not search for NES-TSROM, I get 47 hits. Are those games suitable as donor?
- I’m going to burn the rom on 2 27c128 Eprom-chips. I believe they are 28-pins so those should fit perfectly in a cartridge? Or do I still need to rewire some pins?
