cpu question interchangeable?

[sleepy9090]

1. are all nes toaster cpus interchangeable? assuming north american models only, i've noticed a couple different revisions on the nes board and differences on the cpu number, I'm using a cpu from a different model in my board and it works somewhat but could be error in cic im still messing around with. thanks

I think they're interchangeable. I know I replaced all the chips on my old Famicom with ones from a toaster NES (with a Rev G cpu). I accidentally toasted the ones on the famicom, so I had to improvise.

Works like a charm even though its as ugly as sin!

haha nice

that looks like some of my projects =)

I put an newer revision cpu in an older board.

What is a "toaster cpu" ? I've never heard of this before.

Is this like replacing the 6502 in an Apple IIe with a faster one (ie, 1.79 Mhz -> 4 MHz conversion), but for the NES? I assume not, as that would seriously fubar all of the timed code paths.

"Toaster NES" is the nickname assigned to the US side-loading NES, even though the top loader looks more like a toaster.

the top loader looks more like a toaster.

Please post a pic of your toaster, I am dying of curiosity
