board type

Post by coinheaven »

i ran Drac's Night Out through CajoNes and it gave me a PRG at 128k and CHR at 128k, but i found this and it says that it uses a UNROM board. any reason why?

Firefox is a web browser.
Internet Explorer also displays it as to be SLROM :wink:

Whow, I'm really impressed by the false labels there is on that site. I just quickly made myself a false FF2 label for my FF2 card from a wonderswan FF2 logo I found on the NES, and I added a seal of quality, Nintendo logo, "European Verion" text and the Squaresoft logo. However, it don't even look close to real labels :wink:

Most probably it would, I don't even know the difference. I know "revised" boards exists, I once compared SNROM-03 that I had in a Kid Icarus card and SNROM-05 that I had in a Zelda card, the 05 had one more diode and one more capaciy on it. I can't say much detail about it.

actually, when i got home, i opened up Robocop (which is a SL1ROM) and it had 2 different size ROMs. the CHR was 3.9 cm in length and the PRG was 3.5 cm in length. then i opened up Bayou Billy (SLROM) and both ROMs were 3.5cm in length. any reason why this is?

The physical size of the chips on the board is not relevant. Only the logical size (number of bytes) and board logic (traces running to/from chips) matter. I suspect the SL1ROM is merely using a different package for one of the ROM chips, and the board logic is unchanged.
