I thank you again for going to such lengths for my request. In the end there are many easier ways to accomplish that, but I thought there might have been potential for these little cheap consoles to do that. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to simply remove their roms and substitute my own If I understand correctly this (these devices) is all very bodgy and they're not regular rom files, nor are the files even laid out similarly. You've managed to dump the contents which is great! I would never have gotten that far. I was hoping this was commonplace and someone had already done all the hard work. Originally I was obviously looking at this with an oversimplistic view of it, hoping I could simply interface with the chip and work with it as if it were a usb flash drive, with some sort of translation software. I would have mailed you my console to save you the money, but it's too late now I suppose. I just remembered last night half asleep about this project and that you were working on it and I felt awful. I apologize for having been absent so long, in July I went on vacation and life has been insane since. HaQue I can't thank you enough for going to such lengths for this question of mine. If you mean reading the CFI flash with 1.8v logic, then I think I have everything I need, level converters, power supplies etc, just have been too busy/lazy/sidetracked to hook it up. Swapping out NES Roms wont be as simple as the legit Nintendo because of no USB port. They all have ROMs blatantly pirated or with some hackiness going on like sprites from one game in a different game. Very easy to read with the FlashCatUSB (XPORT Version). a tiny motherboard with some kind of NOR flash, either parallel or Quad SPI in the newer ones. Just because they were so cheap, each under AU$20. What specifically did you want to see come out of this? I think most of the progress has been documented, though I did buy another 4 different units of varying specs. Now that I am at the end of my seat, what has come of this? I have the same Nock-off NES as OP's.
I again would like to know if any progress is made with the units so we can hack them and switch in and out roms. I'm in the office most of the afternoon so the phone has time to charge. i work for U-Haul so I'm use to my phone being dead by lunch. I would take a picture, but the unit is at the house and when by the time i got home for lunch my cell phone was dead. The roms included are a bunch of crud IMHO. I was hoping you had away to flash the system and add roms to it. I have the exact same system as the OP and the second one you got. I made a Mock-up in Paint to show how I think it will look: I will be able to read the Spansion NOR tonight I think, and I will also be making a PCB for the BGA-88 Socket to use on the FlashCatUSB, and do the level conversion, so I don't have to rewire everything all the time.
