Earthbound prices to plummet?

I don't see EB released for the VC intact in the future. It just won't happen.
Odds are better to see a 3DS release of Mother 3 with the work Nintendo did for the Nintendo 64... Alas it won't happen either.
For the price of a loose Earthbound cartridge you guys should buy a Super Power Pak or Everdrive or buy the Japanese release and get the eproms translated for $20.

Making a Mother 2 to EB cart is a bit tricky. Mother 2 uses two mask roms, and Earthbound used one. You need to disable the top MASK rom, and force the cart to use just the one.a
The SD-2-SNES flash cart is easily superior to the Super Everdrive in many ways, it uses a FPGA (Field-programmable gate array), and it currently supports almost all the SNES enhancement chips aide from S-DD1 (Star Ocean without the 96mb hack) and the Super FX...but they can be implemented through an update, where as the Super Everdrive will never support such enhancements.

Soft mod? like the Star Ocean hack?

Two things:
1) like any of us would ever settle for a flash rom cart alone.
2) good luck finding an SD2SNES cart.
Even if you can find one, its STILL cheaper to just but a loose EB cart.

Hardware update. The FPGA can theoretically emulate the Super FX, it just needs the code.
And The SD 2 SNES will be coming back in stock at Stone Age Gamer sometime next month or in March.
I am thinking of picking up an SD2SNES, loading it up and not having to deal with repros.
