As a fellow repro maker, I have to ask - what's with the giant adapter boards? They are pretty cool looking, and they definitely bring to mind some VERY interesting possibilities, but...what is the purpose of them over the standard method?

No rewiring from the eeproms used,

The eeproms he is using are probably 32Mbit, i dont know which model are them, but he might have 8Mbit and 16Mbit models with the same pinout. so it is convenient to use. and Eeproms are much cheaper than flash memories right now.


I will have similar boards but for FX games done, but with flash memories.

If you can get done those adapter boards, Id say get some new flah memories that are 3.3 volts with a voltage converter to get them to work with 5 volt hardware. They are MUCH cheaper than eeproms and 5 volt flash memories.

I wish I could do those pinouts my self, but I get really confused whit the mappers and the ram!

The giant board is my adapter that allows me to use a more traditional eprom over a flash memory. When other repro makers use flash chips, I always felt that the connections were never uniform and weren't always 100%. This method of allows for a better connection to the board since i'm going from DIP to DIP. 

There have also been many debates about the life of flash vs eproms, but thats an arguement for another day.

Another advantage of this chip is that I won't run out. Awhile back when the tsop supply ran out, places like gamereproductions.com stopped selling ANY game that was 4mb because they had no stock. After I got an email from my supplier who had found more, they must have used the same supplier since they started selling the 4mb games again.

Fascinating! ...but what are those two other chips on the adapter? I can understand the concept of the drop-in chip adapter, but I'm curious as to the purpose of those two - are they analogous to the MAD-1 or the LD1774 (or whatever the hell it is)? This is fascinating stuff!

I just wanted to show proof of jjrepro's work and say that I am very happy with my purchase. I already played each of the games for half an hour each and have had a blast with each one.

Good to know. Let me know when you finish up the orders and don't need a cart sent. I just don't have any old sporting games to send.

That Megaman and Bass looks beautiful!

Is it $25 total (shipped back to me) if I send you a donor?

If you send a donor, it would be $25. If I provide the donor, it would be $32

I want to say I'm impressed with your work not only on the inside but out too, the attention to detail trying to mirror a real cart from the era is very well done. You're making me wish I could think of a game I'd want to play right now that didn't make it here. Stuff like FF5, Seiken Densetsu 3 and Terranigma are pretty tempting.

I'm still not 100% happy with my labels, I need to really sit down and fine tune them more.

I just made one for my friend who had been collecting/gaming for years and he loved it and was really glad to have gotten it. its fully complete and no game breaking changes were made. This game didn't introduce new/weird features so its an authentic game.

Alright so I just read on Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds Remodel, I didn't know a group of people revise the game to make it more playable now. I gave up before going to the first real dungeon because it was just too hard in a frustrating way and confusing sometimes.

So how is Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds Remodel overall?
