Does anyone have an NES with a CopyNES installed, that they could lend me?

I am trying to dump a very interesting and very rare Famicom cart that I have, which is undumped as of yet, and I will release the ROM as soon as I am able to dump it. I would rather not say what it is at the moment though. But, I would like to know if anyone has a CopyNES console that I could borrow for a couple of weeks. I would pay for the postage both ways, of course. This is the best way that I can think of to dump it myself, as I don't really like the idea of sending it off to be dumped, and I would rather not buy the CopyNES just to dump this one game.

  • Just to clarify, I am looking for the USB version, since I don't have a parallel port.
  • Considering you have no feedback and 2 posts, I don't think people will be lining up to send you their copyNES for a few weeks. Your best options would be to send the cart to someone who is a trusted member on NA, or buy a copyNES and hope you get some more use out of it down the road. Good luck dumping your rom mate
  • I would agree with this. There are several trusted members that can (and already have done this for others) do this for you.
  • I own a copynes USB. But agree with the others don't feel to safe shipping out to a brand new member, but would be more than happy to dump the game for ya.
  • You could try changing your topic to, Is there anyone in or near Iowa with a working copyness, can I come over and use it please.
  • yeah I got one and I won't lend it to you either

    I would be willing to dump a game for you if you want to send it to me. You might want to check what mapper your "rare famicom game" uses though, since it's possible there is no copynes plugin for that mapper, and I wouldn't be able to dump it anyway.

  • It's only 70$ from retrozone anyway if you want one, it's a great purchase, very versatile!
  • He probably wouldn't be skilled enough to install it though. Mind you the CopyNES really just needs a steady hand and proper tools more than anything, but yeah desoldering a CPU is no small thing.

    That was unwarranted... For all we know he could be an electrical engineer. This comment seemed kinda like an insult... just saying

    Even if you have never touched a soldering iron, it shouldn't be too much of an obstacle..  They give you step by step instructions, and there aren't many steps...  Desoldering the CPU is just a matter of heating the solder and putting some desolering braid on it.  I could see someone being worried about assembling the old serial one since it came in a lot more peices..

  • Desooldering braid IMO will kill it if you aren't experienced as the more you hold heat to it, the more damage you do. Get a solder sucker, it's worth every penny, especially if you want something to go back together and work.
  • Well, I never touched a soldering iron before I got my first copynes, and braid worked much better for me. Just touch the braid to the solder and the iron to the braid until the solder goes into the braid.

    Edit: and watch your fingers

  • That's the thing, solder sucker you just suck it up as soon as it melts, braid is easier to screw up at first because can take the traces off the board pretty easily. :/

    Especially if you follow instructions and solder as good as Guntz.
  • What is this rare famicom cart? this whole post may be for nothing if it's already leaked online.

    Ahahaha... You're a funny sum bitch... My soldering is just fine. I have several working repros now, as well as several other successful mods and repairs (supergun, region modded TG-16 etc). What I could do with is another powered desoldering iron, mine broke. I'm getting tired of clipping mask roms and painstakingly clearing out each hole while also trying to get the piece of IC leg out as well...

    I don't think so. He has pee and poop as his name for cripes sake, I really doubt he's a soldering genius. Though of course, I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

    *notices someone hacked his comment* Well that seemed extremely rude.
  • I don't see why you're all calling guntz out, he didn't do anything. And maybe he can't solder, most can't. Maybe he can and doesn't want to spend the money. Who cares?



    OP, I'd just send it to somebody with the tools to do it, it's easier that way in the end. Good luck man, can't wait to see what you have!

    I think Guntz is some sexist dumb-fuck cunt that hates men. Her argument is invalid.
