Man. I never thought about routing the wires under the chip itself. Absolutely wonderful job on always making your work function as well as look great 👏👏

@Intertayne 4 года назад

It looked like you bridged the legs on the chip next to the battery when you were soldering

@dpepinmarquette 5 лет назад

Best wiring I have ever seen on a repro/translation cart. Also thanks for the suggestion for another famicom game I have never heard about before. It looks pretty awesome. I swear there will be good famicom games I will keep finding out about for the rest of my life. It seems like an endless library.

@sams6090 5 лет назад

am I the only one who noticed the pins were shorting out with the access decoder/square chip?

@glomiagui 4 года назад

They are supposed to be bridged.

@Krankie_V 5 лет назад

That was a really clean job remapping the pins. Good on ya!

@frosty9595 5 лет назад

Beautiful technique! I kept seeing two bridged solder joints on the surface mount chip after you did the battery and was expecting magic smoke when you tested it! Thankfully after rewinding I realized they are supposed to be bridged. Phew!

Dude I totally ruined my copy of Neo Turf Masters for Neo Geo by desoldering the PROMS and putting them on a Genesis board. I mean both the Genesis and Neo Geo have a 68000 and z80 so it should work, but using this video as a guide all I did was melt my Neo Turf Masters. I demand a refund!

@honorablejay 4 года назад

Great tutorial, but there's one thing you may want to mention: due to the tightness of adding the wires to the bottom of the chips, it's a good idea to make sure you double check the positioning of the wires before pushing the chip all the way in. There's always the possibility of the chip pins accidentally slicing a wire and causing a bridge. It might be slim, but I'm sure someone, somewhere, has done it before.

I was dominating Genesis repros since I taught myself last year, dabbled in a few SNES 1MB n unders, but have yet to do a NES/fami! I think its time, and luckily I found this vid...as usual, flawless execution and explanations from Lord V...Master Class is in session boys. Best I do is run my patched games on emulator (or PCE/SNES games through Everdrives), but nothing quite beats having the actual authentic cartridge and board.

@PlantedWave5190 5 лет назад

This tutorial helped a lot! Thank you! I got one comment: Just so you know, If you can put it into an NES Cartridge shell (You'll need the Famicom adapter from Gyromite), you can play it on an NES!

@mjy 5 лет назад

Is there not enough room inside the cartridge to do the destructive modifications to a couple of low-profile sockets instead of the PROMs themselves? You would be able to easily remove and replace the undamaged PROMs and perform additional patching easily, no (de)soldering required afterwards.

@jdmteggy626 5 лет назад

@JaMaMaa1 5 лет назад

I'm not sure whether there is this new RU-vid reccomendation system, but I've been getting a lot of unique hobbyists in my reccomended feed and I love it. It's cool to see people are going through the effort to legally patch things onto cartridges and play it on original hardware. I just illegally download a copy of games I already have then patch them to whatever hack I want to play.

@capzombie 5 лет назад

@CallanBrown 5 лет назад

Hey! Glad to see the diagram from my site is still being used. I think your final product looks great but I think it's very risky for beginners once the wires are trapped under the newly soldered chip.

@Polyh3dron 5 лет назад

Yeah, I saw how he was heating the rubber coating to strip the ends of those wires and thought to myself " hmmm, there's also rubber wire coating touching other pins that he is going to be soldering into the holes, what if the heat on one of those pins also melts some rubber that isn't supposed to be melted making an unwanted connection??" 🤔 I would totally screw that up.

@kevinwoolford123 5 лет назад

The easiest translations to attempt are lagrange point, esper dream 2 and madara. All 3 are superb rpgs with amazing audio and are direct swaps for the chip/s. Def worth attempting if you haven't already and are super cheap to pick up. Thanks for this video voultar!

@daga68 4 года назад

Naive question from a newbie, is it possible to install sockets, and do the mod on the sockets? or due to the socket added thickness the cartridge won't close properly?

@chimera5588 5 лет назад

Where do you get your wires from? All of the places that I look at have the string wires, and not the solid wire. I've only re-wired electronics with a standard three prong cable, so I have to tin the wires already, but I don't want to use that for any of my console work that I'll be doing when I get my KSGR soldering iron per your suggestion. Right now I'm using a very old Radio Shack soldering iron that was my grandpa's before he passed away.

@NesNyt Год назад

I actually have the famicom that was recalled. Its the one that has the square buttons on the controller, i have noticed that i cant find any mods for it even though its basically similar to the circle button Famicom but every time i replace save batteries the unit runs really hot and i didnt do it before i replaced the batteries. Any ideas why, yes the save backups work and the battery is identical. I was thinking if adding a resistor but i dont wanna wreck a irreplaceable cart. Hoping to hear your opinion

Hello this might be a dumb question but under the reviews for the eeprom programmer you use people were saying that the software was editing their bios and stuff. Have you had this problem?
