NES playing VS Super Mario Bros
Sorry for misspellings, I'm from Sweden ^^
Rather than add code to the game to correct the pallette, why didnt he just put the VS PPU into the NES?
It wasn't clear to me whether he flashed the rom to a cart or if it is internal like the VS system.
If it is possible to just swap the PPU instead of reprogramming the games, it would be really cool to have this modded system to play VS ROMS at home with a flash cart (all VS games used the same mapper, right?).

Whoa. I guess there are way more VS games than I'd thought. I thought there was only 5-10 early NES titles and maybe Castlevania thrown in for good measure.nope, according to this site (I only own SMB.. so I havn't seen the other ones):

Re: NES playing VS Super Mario Bros
I was planning to design multi / flashcart based on these instructions but it never got anywhere. Here is the schematics for it if anyone else is interested:
Blue connector lines are for Famicart and the boxed one are for NES.
