Too bad nobody can make their own cart shells, just put the eproms on a perf board and place them above the PCB in the cart.

Well it looks like round two ended up at the same spot, black screen. Its 12:00 and I cant tell what I did wrong. I dont think I can take anymore of these soldering fumes and burned fingers. I took some pics but I will have to up load them latter as I am very tired.

Rx_79:
Okay heres the pics.

I did spot a solder point that came loose, but after fixing it. I still got a black screen.

Did you sold moe and rco to the little eyes instead of the IC pins? oO

Also, your soldering work looks worse than mine, are you sure all pins of the 27c801 connect to each other? :P

Some soldering points on the back of your PCB dont look to good either, you may want to redo them so that every point has a nice shiny bubble. :)

Did the game work in its original state? Your C1 resistance looks like the two soldering points connect to eachother, whats not the point ;)

I desoldered form the back then ran the wire thru, and resoldered.

Also, your soldering work looks worse than mine, are you sure all pins of the 27c801 connect to each other? The good news is I am improving with each failed attempt, but yeah all pins on the 27c801 are connected.

The photo makes them look worst than they look in real life. I did resolder a few of them after I took the pic. I noticed one of the wire had came loose.

Yes the game did run, thats why I went with a new board on this 2nd attempt. The first attempt game board had alot wear on the connection pins. and no. The pins do not touch. The 2nd bent out pin did break off and I had to solder to the little stub sticking out.

I also was thinking what if you laid the pins down on the eprom (after you solder the wires to them) and separated the wires with electric tape. Would that make it fit into the case.
