So for about the last 4 months, I've been wanting to make a high quality snes repros, I've come across a program that tells me the pinouts for most of the repro games but I haven't been able to find the pinouts for a starfox weekend competition cart neither for super mario world return to
dinosaurland, can anyone give me a helping hand here?

Don't worry about the particular game, just look up the pinouts of the chips you need to use. The mask ROM pinouts in the donor carts will always be the same, save for the surface mount ones like in FX chip games, and those are also documented.

Thanks!
I can finally get started with reproduction carts! My first will be Starfox 2 since i've been wanting to make one for awhile now. I owe you one RetroHacker.

Starfox 2 is fun. It's a bit trickier than other repros though, since you have to solder so many wires. But it's not hard at all. I made one out of a Stunt Race FX cart a few years ago. The pinouts of the mask ROM in that cart are documented - then you just match up with the pinout of the 27c080 (or c801) and solder all those wires
