NES games that used a daughter board?

I am unaware of nes games that use a daughter board on the cart. I came across a double dribble with on on the back side. The daughter board was a flop chip on this daughter board. Is this more common than I am aware of?

    Wtf, I've never seen them do that...weird....blows my mind they would't put glops right on the board. I wonder if it's because they needed to use all the current boards they had?

    Never seen on either man, new discovery for me.

    what does the other side look like? is that a legit konami board?

    Anyone want to explain this for the uninitiated?

    if this is an official nes board it needs to be submitted to bootgods database. I didn't see this configuration on there.

    Kind of sad that Double Dribble would be a pirate... but sometimes pirates don't make sense.



    Blue Gollumer - The daughterboard is on the left. Looks like it has a surface mount chip on the daughterboard to adapt to a through hole mount.

    I highly doubt it's a pirate.

    Could we get just one more shot of the front of the PCB?



    Definitely never seen a glob top repair job (I'd assume?) on the back side of a retail PCB, this one is pretty cool.

    Wait... I have seen one of these before... Let me pop open a few carts, and get back to you on this...

    These can't be too rare, I've come across one Double Dribble like this.

    I seem to remember seeing something like this too, don't remember the game though.

    It's more common on pirates but I don't recall seeing a retail NES game ilke this.

    It looks like it must have been cheaper to make a small pcb with a glop top and use an existing board than to get a standard MaskROM package. Whatever they did, it's safe to assume what they went with was cheaper and more profitable to them.

    I have one for sure, I remember it cause I thought it was strange. I just can't remember what game it was.

    I've got a mario/duckhunt that has a five screw looking board with four black squares and that's it

    I found a Double Dribble like this yesterday. Hadn't ever came across one before. Pretty cool looking.
  • LincolnLincoln
    what is the production # stamped/printed on the back label? (upper left corner)
  • MillerSI81MillerSI81
    I've got a mario/duckhunt that looks like the top famicom converter board but darker and has four square chips lined together like a famicom converter

    Found one today. Double Dribble.



    Here are some pics.

    Sorry for the necro bump, but I figured we may as well keep this thing going in case anyone has anything to add. Plus, it is less clutter.



    Here are some pics of the one I have.

    no idea what to make of that. it's a legit konami board, and it looks like a legit nintendo cic right? labels look just the slightest bit misplaced but seem to be real.



    I guess I'd call it authentic but it's still weird.

    Was this when they were running out of chips?

    I have read something about that at some point in a certain thread, but I can't recall which thread. Hopefully someone can clarify this at some point.

    I have one of those too, it's authentic, just a cost-cutting measure. You all need to remember, Konami had their own NES boards manufactured, still using Nintendo-made cartridge shells. Konami did the same thing on the Famicom, with their own shells and even their own mapper chips. Over on the Famicom, glob tops in 3rd party-manufactured cartridges is very common. Namcot was especially notorious for that.

    I apppreciate the info. At least some more info was posted on the matter as it seems Mason dissapeared from the thread.  



    Authentic and cool. A win-win!
