Can you take an eprom from an n64 game, take the guts out and put it in the shell of an eeprom with the glass window thing for erasing and turn it from an eprom to an eeprom (eeprom's are rewritable, eproms are not)

No, you can't. Read my earlier posts. The N64 cartridge mask ROMs are NOT compatible with standard eeproms. You will need external decoding logic to make them work.

Also, EPROM - erasable using a UV lamp (they have a small window).
EEPROM - electrically erasable (usually by applying -12v on the older ones, most newer ones use more sane voltages)

I know this is an old thread, but.... could you sort of piggy back to eeproms? like connect 2 together to double the memory, and keep the functional to read 1 file?
