Could you put a usb port on a NES p,Which connects to the guts of a cartridge With extended memory and a selection rom,and choose to use a select screen instead of using the cartrige at start up.

You can buy cartridges online like that if youfeel like googling a bit, but good luck making one yourself.

Could it be done by rewiring and adding a usb port to a GBA flash card and a pin converter?

No the gba flash cart simply will not work with the nes. And if you want a lot of games why not just get a super joy?

No,The Idea is that im mass producing this portable,and i need it to be able to...

A)Read and save the memory of the cartrigde it self.
B)Download your own roms through a Usb port or memory card.

If you do masss produce make sure that you dont have roms on it or it is illegal.

oNCE IT LEAVES MY HAND'S,ITS THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY,I WILL NOT SELL A SYSTEM WITH ROMS ON IT.

Who would sell a device pre-flashed with ROMs? He could just include a simple homebrew game.

I'm working on it

(or something VERY similar, and possibly for the SNES)

I looked into it, because I have friends who would be very interested in buying a NP (As I'm going to call it) That will let them put their own roms onto their system. So if you are going to produce these and sell them on a mass (for you

) scale then including this is a huge plus. Though if you really want to pump up the deal you could take the chip out of the NES cart case and have a custom one made that is shorter and has its own label. Just a suggestion.

Actually, this could be done with a PIC micro processor. I have looked at doing it, but I was only going to make one and it would be too expensive for me to do all that work. Especially since the PIC is a surface mount component- yukkk, I hate soldering those things. There is a guy who has been working on this and I think he lives in poland, and he called his device the Funky Flash Cart. Look it up on google and have a gander. He is in university now, so he probably won't be working in it for a while, and his email doesn't really work last time I checked, but its cool to see that people actually build these things. If I had money and the right equipment I would build one myself. Right now I am doing ordinary single-rom development carts, and I have built mappers 0,1,2,3 and am looking at building a mapper 4. Check out this site for some neat info: http://www.romlab.prv.pl/

keep in mind the site is polish + broken english, so you might need to re-read some things to understand it.
