leonk Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hi folks! I'm surprised I haven't visited this forum before. I've always heard of AtariAge, but always assumed it was for Atari collectors only. Well.. I'm glad to finally make it here!! For those of you who don't know me.. I'm a fanatic NES collector and an active member on both Digital Press and CCGC (for you canadians in the crowd!) as far as this topic goes.. if you want more info: http://ca.geocities.com/leonki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgler Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hey, another hardcore NES-head in T.O.! Welcome to AA, I'm sure we'll get on smashingly I really dig the idea of making these games available. The "legendary" California Raisins looks very cool. I think they may be a little too pricey for me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I wish I could do that as well. I have a TKROM board with socket and I am able to play a few games including English version of FF2 but I can't find the original Earthbound ROM. All I can find are the hacked version to work on emulator, they don't work on the real NES. It used to be easy to find needed donor NES cart but all Gamestops from Saginaw all the way south to Ann Arbor don't carry NES games anymore. All that's left are eBay with high shipping charge.

Breakpack Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Does anyone do Genesis reproduction?I'd love to get Street Fighter 2 Turbo on cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Here's a little tip.. when you visit my web site, you'll notice a link to sites in the name of each cart. Most of those links will direct you directly to the ROMs! Like I posted in my original web site.. I'm not selling the ROMs, I'm not selling the labels. All I'm selling is the carts + my time/work. And yes.. Toronto rocks! Except it's dry as the desert when it comes to classic gaming.. too many darn collectors out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I didn't find any link for Earthbound ROM Just a story behind Earthbound game and several pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Click on the link for Robocop vs Terminator.. scroll to the bottom, and click back. Then select unreviewed. You'll find the EB dump there. Or just click here: http://64.53.95.207/noreview.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Thanks, found it. Now if only I can remember where I put that EPROM burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Take it easy with those eproms.. one wrong twist (while you swap between FF2 and EB back and forth) and it's game over! That's why all the carts I make have the eproms soldered to the PCB and the game is fully closed. Works in any NES system without a need to hack the heck out of it in order to get the proto cart to fit! (unless you have a top loader, but then you still have the EPROMs exposed!)

Susuwatari Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I do plan to build more permanet cart but I can no longer get donor cart locally and ePay price is just not worth it. PS Base Loaded, Shadowgate, and Crystalis are probably the cheapest TKROM based cart from eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susuwatari Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Genesis should be easier because they didn't use fancy mappers like NES did. It's a matter of finding a Genny cart that uses DIP chip and not the black blob and has the correct pinout (ie 16Mbit game won't work on cart originally for 8Mbit) and there's the matyter of save RAM. I do not have the specs of Genesis cart so I don't know what needs to be done to make it EPROM friendly but 2 Megabyte (16Mbit) eprom isn't cheap and not many programmer can handle EPROM over 8Mbit.

leonk Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 hmmm... wow.. talk about a highjacked thread! Sorry folks. I only reproduce NES carts.. I do them for myself, and decided to help others that want to play these great games on their systems as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 Quick update to the list of available games.. now available: MINI PUTT!! As always, click on my sig to get more info to this and many other great games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I'm still wanting someone to make me a Super Tecmo Bowl 'ROSE BOWL' NES cart. Would you possibly be able to make one of those? I even have a Super Tecmo Bowl cart to donate to the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I checked a few Genesis cart that didn't use save feature or any special features. All has 42 pin chip so I think the ROM are 16 bits. 16 bit EPROM do exists but I'd need to get an adapter for my EPROM programmer and find a cheap source of 16 bit EPROM. I found a donor Genesis cart to try and experiment with (it's a no name baseball game from '92 or '93 and is probably not even worth the cheap mail rate).

leonk Posted September 19, 2004 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 Quick update to the list of available games.. now available: Final Fantasy 3!! As far as I know, this game was never available in North America as any release! It's fully translated to English and works great! The game itself is HUGE (uses 4Mbit EPROM chip!) and requires 2 donor carts to be produced! (1 donor cart for the PCB + 1 donor cart for the extra RAM chip!) As always, click on my sig for more info.

figgler Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 They did release this for PlayStation I think, but they tinkered with the graphics. This is very cool looking. I'm very jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
