Amarthar's Secret of Mana 2 repro updates thread

[destructiveme]

Sending it today, sorry with all of the holiday stuff going on I havent had time to get it boxed up.  

Okay, haven't got it yet though, but I guess it will take time

BTW, why don't you try something easy like Nightmare Busters first to lighten up your spirit and improve your skills?

You just take the ROM, swapbin it with something easy to use like SnesRomUtililty 1) and solder the 27C801 to the SNES cartridge PCB except for PIN 24 and 31, they have to be lifted and swapped with cables. (because OE cant be swapped in the romfile)

Looks like this, easy-peasy

You can use e.g. Fifa International Soccer for donor.

I heard that super fighter team is going to give that one a official release.  But what about Ancient Magic isnt it smaller requiring less eproms?

Yeah, they wanted to release it for a year or so now

But no harm done in exercising with it!

Ancient Magic is 1,5Mbytes big, you would need 2 27C801s or 1 27C801 with an 512KB eprom which name i forgot, so its more hard than NB

I also wondered about making an nes one. Are they easier the SNES?

Maybe: Future Soldier Lios, STED, or Destiny of an Emperor II

[destructiveme]

Maybe, I guess you only need one EPROM a game and dont need to worry too much about special chips, though they have different memory maps afaik. Never tried it cause I am not interested in NES

BTW, your package didnt seem to make it yet.

edit: Just got it now Didnt open it yet though, will look at it in the next few days!

[Rx_79]

Thats great,  let me know.

The other boards i decided to desolder and maybe I can reuse them they look pretty clean.

I need to study the tsop method a little more. 

I not sure if the programmer I have can program the AM29F032.

[destructiveme]

Sent you another mail!


BTW, if someone wants a PAL repro, I am willing to make it. PM me if interested

[Rx_79]

Thanks for checking those out, destructiveme. I really appreciate the input, and I will put it to good use on my next go around.

[destructiveme]

No problem! If you send me your ROM file I will check the EPROMS when I have got time!

[Rx_79]

I don't remember if those where Terranigma attempts or Secret of Mana

[destructiveme]

Okay, well I can see what I can extract and run\compare it then

[palmer6strings]

Heck if you can get one of these done, I would love to buy a copy, if the price is right anyway. 

[destructiveme]

Of course they work already

[palmer6strings]

Ya, I was kinda wanting a NTSC copy though.
