EPROM Adapter?

Post by Zero_D »

So I've been wanting to build a reproduction SNES cart for a while now, and today I came across this link. If you notice, he mentions using some adapter so all the eprom pins easily translate onto the board. By taking a closer look, we can see this url printed on the adapter in the picture. However, I can't find that specific adapter on their site and from what I see their prices are outrageous (I may be looking in all the wrong places though, so please correct me if you find it). If you guys have any information on this thing, please let me know as it could definitely make the whole process of creating a repro cart a lot easier.

not really worth it, plus you need to provide your own tsop and solder it in.

Yea, I agree these things are still way to pricey for what they are. If only there was some other company who made them or some other way to produce a lot of these.

It would just be cheaper and easier to program no matter what if you just got the eeprom, although harder to install.

Agreed. Another quick question... I'm planning on building a Bahamut Lagoon repro and the rom size I'm getting is 24mbits. Could I just use a 32mbit eprom or would I absolutely have to use three 8mbit eproms? The place I'm planning on buying them from sells the 32mbit ones for $2.50 compared to $5 each for the 8mbit ones, and I don't see any 24mbit ones at all.

It should work fine, you'll just end up with different wiring (the pinout will be changed to accomodate the extra address lines but you won't be using them.)
