Here you go Jared, used for debugging games, dumping games etc. Needed to desolder the NES cpu, then solder in a socket to add this board on.

What is a copy nes and where do you have to install it? And what are you unsodering?

I use the Desolder from RS and it works nicely. Just suck all the holes and if there is some that won't come out I add more and repeat.

much easier to use the desoldering iron with the red bulb on it from radio shack, might have to add a little solder though, it usually takes me about a half hour to do one of these

Yeah, just used solder braid and kept adding and removing solder - in the end I think the main issue was my soldering iron wasn't hot enough.

What did you use to desolder the chip? You should first give each pin a new coat of solder so the new solder mixes with the old, then use soldering braid and a solder sucker/pen thing to remove the freshly mixed solder. Then it should just be a matter of figuring out which pins have excess solder on them and gently rocking it out. Its a lot harder when you're trying to preserve the chip

I should be getting my CopyNES in the next month or so, my Powerpak Lite is lonely without a buddy. I am very excited to get some homebrew up and running on there, hopefully I'll have Tetris finished by the time it comes so I can test it out!

Congrats again.
