I'm a little late posting this here, but about a week and a half ago I finally got some replacement boards fabbed for anyone that has a non-working 8 Bit Music Power cartridge. Long story short, the construction and design choices for the original boards are extremely dubious, putting 3v chips on a 5v system, not working with 2A03G CPUs at all, the (possible) frying of a PPU and maybe VRAM, and timing issues that can only be fixed by modifying the cartridge itself, so I decided "What the hell, I'll make new boards."
I do have to admit though, I didn't design them. A member of the FamicomWorld forums had already remade TKROM boards, so he just decided to consult me for the necessary design changes, and he sent me the files for fabrication.
If anyone here has an 8BMP cart that won't work in their system, or you just want the security of knowing you won't have a time-bomb board with chips that are being fed 5v, let me know anywhere I am (Twitter, FW, here, IRC, a Youtube comment, a soundcloud message), with your address and a picture of the cart so I can send you the pre-split ROM. The only cost to you will be shipping to wherever you are. 13/14 are available out of 21
If Kira Kira Star Night DX has any of the same issues at all, new boards WILL be made for it as well, so don't hesitate to buy it if you want it. Pictures follow.
