Reprogrammable NES cart

As featured before on this site there are some great aftermarket ROM readin' carts out there.  This fearless blogger has bypassed the $100+ price of these carts and started himself. Using two AT49F002 (256K) flash chips and some basic code recompilation he has created his own home brew vision.  I applaud  this project because now he can load any new home brew and any other misc rom straight through his nes.  There, as always, are a few issues with this project as it is currently.  One is the various mappers that Nintendo used throughout the nes's long lifespan. You see the NES sucked, hardware wise.  So too bypass the lack of power in the system they added it on the cart where it mattered.  The same idea was used later withe the Super Nintendo the the carts supporting the FX chip, like starfox and that horrible racing game.  Anywho, the other issues is that you would need to program the eprom chips with a piece of hardware know as a eprom programmer.  These gadgets range anywhere from $40-$500 bucks and unless you know what you are doing they are simply worthless.  This is one of those project I would like to tackle before I die  Or perhaps I may just hop over to retrousd.com and buy one outright. Either way THIS is a nicely detailed and informative site totally worht checking out! kaokensho
