you can always back up the data and reburn the eprom if it becomes corupted.

This is the bottom line, well put. This question crops up it seems like once a week on various boards. If you're on boards to ask the question, then you shouldn't be concerned because chances are someone reading your post can provide this service for a nominal fee. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=791 2007-04-23T19:08:17 -05.00 Redivivus 5
I know that some atari collcetors have had problems with data coruption and such.
Also I know people with arcade boards sometimes have problems with eproms.

It's really a personal opinon. Some people won't touch em with a ten foot pole, other could care less.

IMO, there's not a whole lot to worry about. I've had more production carts die on me than prototypes. I think you should take care not to expose the eproms to UV light or static build-up. I've know people to lose data and I also know people who had eproms that are holding strong after nearly 30 years. If you know what you're doing, you can always back up the data and reburn the eprom if it becomes corupted. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=791 2007-04-23T17:54:02 -05.00 Redivivus 5
