New to Repro NES/SNES

Hello everyone,



I'm looking into getting started with creating repro games that were only released in Japan that never made it to the US. I know that NES games are easier to repro than SNES, and I have both consoles that I want to get games for that weren't released here.



I was curious if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction of where to get started? I'd love any and all input to learn some and hopefully be able to teach others who ask for help later on...



right now what i was looking at for a programmer was this guy:

If anyone has information on NES repros, any and all information would be great



I've also found TSOP flash memory here:

the M29F032D



Starting with flash memory because i hear it is easier to work with. If anyone has information on EPROMs i would also love to read up on that because that work surprisingly sounds fun to me. Now am I under the correct understanding that using the TSOP Adapter III i will have to have a special adapter for my programmer? or would it just be a plug and flash kind of deal?



also if you guys have any other input on what other kind of tools/equipment i will need to start taking on such endeavors i would greatly appreciate all the help.

  • Please use the search function in this forum or you may visit nesdev website for a lot of information on their forums and their technical pages.



    There's probably about 20 or more of these same type of topics on NA.com alone, I highly recommend starting there and I bet you'll find all your answers and more.

  • First of all I would like to say that unless you really and truly have a background in electronics not try this. If you do intend to continue with this then I can probably help because I hit every problem possible. The initial investment alone is a lot for reproes. If you are dead set on this hit me up in a pm and I will tell you the steps and give you a cheek list of things you will need where to get them and a bit of things I stumbled into as I was doing this myself.
