It seems all you would need is a FastRom enabled Cart with Battery Backup Saving...Wait, 48 mB game...damn. Thats like 5 eproms stacked. --- End quote --- Yeah, the only way to make it is by modifying an actual Star Ocean Super Famicom cartridge. I dunno how it's done, but apparently, it's extremely difficult. Luckily, the guy AppleQueso referred me to was able to make a cartridge for me. I have since received it in the mail, and it works beautifully. ;D --- End quote --- It can be done otherwise, but, it involves alot of eproms. |

At least, that's what I've heard. |

As for repros, I'm preparing to try one myself. Though I'll start with something simpler then Star Ocean. Yesterday I found a neat site which has a step by step guide on how to make a repro. If anyone else is interested, here's a link: http://snesdev.romhack.de/game_select.htm I'll start with Secret of Mana 2, and keep you guys informed. |

The only part that's hard for me is that I have NO previous experience with soldering electronics, NO previous experience with EPROM programming, and NO equipment to do that... But, if I have to, I'll do it on guts alone! |
