will this work?
ok, im about to make my first repro cart...very exciting. i want to put Yie Ar Kung Fu on a Super Mario Bros. cart, both are NROMs. I have split the .nes file into a PRG and CHR files. I have 2 27c512 eproms to burn them onto. the board is desoldered and ready for chips. now, can i just put the burn the eproms and solder them onto the board, with no extra wiring?

i got a good deal on the 512's, so i figured i could use them for all files under 128k. i didnt know that i should use the exact fitting eprom for the file, like i said, im a new at this.

Yep, just do copy /b file.prg+file.prg+file.prg file_copied.prgcoinheaven wrote:sorry, i always forget to log in. the file sizes are 16 k PRG and 8k CHR. So i can just fill up the chip until it is full with the same file and then just solder the chip on with no extra wiring?
to make it the same file size as the eprom itself

you type it in a dos-prompt..
to open one in windows
click on "start" and then "run"
then type in cmd (in win2k or newer) or command (in all win9x)
then type in cd (path to your folder containing your prg file)
now you type in (were input_file.prg is your prg file):
copy /b input_file.prg+input_file.prg+input_file.prg output_file.prg
for every +input_file.prg you append 'input_file.prg' to the end of output_file.prg and in this case that means output_file.prg will contain 3 copies of input_file.prg. now you can burn your (e)eprom/flash with output_file.prg

ok, i made the PRG and CHR files 64k and burned them to 27c512 eproms and attached them to the NROM board but all i get on the tv screen is a black and white scrambled buzzing screen. any idea what im doing wrong? do i need to solder it for it to work? i didnt want to do this yet since this is my first game and am still working out the kinks. thanks

It SHOULD be soldered to assure that the contacts are making, um, contact =) I would try that.
