I am one that is seeing the light on flash carts and I am starting to prefer them over repros.

Wha?! Aw man, I'm just getting into repros and I LOVE them. Something sooooo satisfying about owning a (semi) legit copy of a game versus flash carts IMO.

That's the allure for me as well having a real cart. It's as close as I can get to having what I would have had if the game had actually been released here.
I'm hoarding donor carts and plan to make a bulk purchase of all the ones I want at some point.
Problem is that they are fixed in price while other things I want keep going up so it's hard to justify buying them right now.
I might actually try and learn how to make them myself just for the fun of learning how to do it.

If a repro could be made from all new parts, then I would jump back onto the repro bandwagon.

You can! but not all the mappers will work...
MOD EDIT BY ARSEEN: No naming of repro sites here, PMing OK

That repro board is only good for 4 mappers, iNES 0, 2, 3, 7....basically if the game did NOT use a MMC, it can be made with that board.
Too bad he never made a repro board using stuff from his NES Powerpack.

Let's see if bunny boy makes some new stuff like advanced boards or something after the HDMI NES gets finished.
