No Longer Looking for Star Ocean Repro

[scarmullet]

I dont see why Star Ocean is so difficult to make a repro of. 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.

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. 

It can be done otherwise, but, it involves alot of eproms.

Yes, but from what I've heard, if you simply use the amount of eproms required, it won't fit properly in a regular cartridge, and you'll have to play it as a naked chip.

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:

I'll start with Secret of Mana 2, and keep you guys informed.

That does not look too hard actually.

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!

That's the spirit.

If you show enough Sisu (word that cannot be translated into other languages. Means about the same as guts, but something way more strong an determined.) You might get to be Honorary Finn.

Right now I've got the the ROM prepared, and already made the cover and label (will be made public when I'm done).
