I'm also interested in learning how to do this kind of thing with my time off from college this winter is there any specific ezine issues that you would recommend?

Yeah, NintendoAge is very helpful with this sort of thing. We'd be more than happy to help. (well, at least the experienced people would)

Now if you wanted someone to teach you how to code, then yeah money would be a good incentive. But for repros, which is basically what you're asking? Nah, the info is commonly available and enough people do it that free help is definitely available.

awesome, thanks for pointing me in their direction. that looks like a great tutorial.

i've read a lot of other tutorials and i do a lot of various electronics projects too, so i'm confident i could figure this all out based on these resources. but i'd still really like to have a person i could ask my beginner questions to.

I am sure lots of people would be willing to help you out (free of charge).

Just ask your questions here.

You could save yourself the time and effort and get a powerpak from retrousb.com. Also, if you want to avoid rewiring a dev cart you can buy one of their retropaks and solder sockets onto the board.

You can use a donor if you'd like, nrom dev carts don't require rewiring iirc.

i already own 2 powerpaks actually. they're amazing.

basically, i want to learn to make my own cartridges for the following reasons -

1. i'm nervous about taking expensive powerpaks to sketchy venues when i play shows.
2. i'd like to be able to give my programs to friends who don't own powerpaks, as gifts.
3. i'd like to be able to sell my programs.

I want to make my own Nintendo cartridges for the songs and simple programs I write. I've got a programmer and a UV eraser. I'm not sure what chips I need to buy. I just need the help of someone who's done this a few times to correspond with via email a few times and answer some beginner questions.

Depending on how much help I actually end up needing, I would pay between $30 and $50.
