help with MMC1 repro
im trying to make a repro cart with a copy of operation wolf. The original CHR and PRG are 28pin 128k in size. The problem is when i try to fit the new EEPROMS in (27c010) the CHR will not physically fit without overlapping the PRG. How do i go about making the game? From what i understand you can not buy 128k chips that are 28 pin.

You're right, you cannot do the thing you want to do. You'll have to instead do one of the following:
* Add a carrier PCB and a surface mount ROM so that you can put a smaller ROM in that place
* A different carrier PCB like https://www.etsy.com/listing/826068839/ ... pter-board
* Use a different donor
* A ridiculous amount of rework
* Carefully ablate away the epoxy off one side of the lead frame for your ROM and do the rework there
* Add a carrier PCB and a surface mount ROM so that you can put a smaller ROM in that place

I had a similar problem and solved it by soldering the IC under the board like this:
Since then, I've been using PLCC ICs, which normally don't give me these kinds of problems, but the end result is something like this:
Of course, there are better, faster, and more sophisticated ways to solve these problems, but since I have some time to spare and little money to use I'm on "the cheap side of the force". - krzysiobal

That's cool.
Thanks for sharing.
