This is what's left of what I took from the factory I worked at when it closed 20 years ago. I was told to throw cases of it in the dumpster. Sold most of it on ebay. The power supply is also from there. |

This popped into my head this morning and I had to make it real. |

Very nice! I had a good haul a few years ago when a vestibular lab got shut down and they threw away all the supplies and tools. I still have a sealed box of NIB tools from that haul I haven’t touched. Mike is free to search my comment history and find the pics. Anyway, we’re on the final countdown of my wishlist and the carts my slave driver wants. It’s completely absurd but now I’m using 4MB EPROMs for games that don’t use SRAM. I bought 100 2MB EPROMs and about 13 of them are bad. Of the 40 4MB chips, they’ve all flashed. Even the ones with bent to hell legs thrown loose in an envelope. I’m also getting low on donor SEGA cases so I’m continuing to slap the random games into EA cases with modified labels. My life goal is to confuse some nerdy kid at an estate sale in a few years. Maybe my wife will get $20. Just one completed cart tonight, but a bunch of chips burned….. this game is ubiquitous on EBay and actually very fun. That’s the old roll of solder on the left and the new one on the right. Let’s see if it lasts 21 years. :cheers: |

I am officially at the “why…..? Why me?” stage of this nonsense. I just purchased “more than 50” EA carts for about 75 cents each. So I guess I’m commissioning another run of repro pcbs. Again. I’ve gone through 100 2MB EPROMs. 13 were bad. Mike_A suggested trying a slower speed. That got 2 of the bad ones to flash. One failed verification, but I dumped it and byte 64 was a dash instead of a zero and the genesis happily ignores that section. Anyway, here’s another batch of games. One was originally EA, the rest weren’t. |
