hey everyone
is there any 32 pin eproms that are a drop in replacement on nes carts that dont require wiring? not saying i couldnt do the wiring but just curious, i know the 29c256 is a drop in replacement for some as i used them to fix an excitebike cart, but what about games that use chr ram or that use 32pin mask roms?

Nope.
You could design an external PCB that would do this, but there were no preexisting programmable memories that put A16 on pin 24.

Re: Drop in replacement eproms
does that fit in a standard cart shell?
EDIT im stupid and didnt read disregard
EDIT 2 can I use a 29c040 flash eprom rather than the one that needs to be erased via a uv eraser?

Re: Drop in replacement eproms
No worries. It fits on standard Nintendo boards, but I think some Konami games won't fit. And some boards (like EKROM, off the top of my head) have too many parts in the way for one/both of the chips. But it fits most.ironsniper1 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 12:47 pm

It'll most likely work as a drop-in, but pins 1 and 31 are flipped between the UV EPROMs and the flash chips. So if it doesn't work, just cut those two pins and rewire them to flip their positions. Should only be an issue on larger ROMs (512k)EDIT 2 can I use a 29c040 flash eprom rather than the one that needs to be erased via a uv eraser?
New version coming soon with solder pads on the back to take care of that, most likely this week.
