Holy Mother, I'm Earthbound!

20-11-2012 8:36pm#1Well I installed the flash chip into the Mother 2 cart, low & behold it worked. Mother 2 in all its English glory {Also known as Eartbound in its localized form}
Desoldered the first mask rom, Solder in the adaptor & flash rom, make two slight changes to the wiring of the cart by removing pins on the adapter board {rather than cutting cart traces} & wiring them to alternate points.
Sorted! I know what my Xmas day game is gonna be this year

This could get you all sorts of attention Enternow!
Ah I'm very mindful of repro's & the carry on around them, thats why I'll only ever do this to a real Mother 2 cart. I'll not be converting any other games into Earthbounds, only like for like {JP to English}
Clocktower is next on my list :cool:0 -

Just so you guys know, if you want to pick up mother 2 - get it from Hit-japan and don't pay the buy it now price.
I offered them $27 dollars which was well below the BIN (I think it was 36) and they accepted
Yeah I got my mint CIB one for $30 plus $9 postage by way of making an offer.
If anyone is looking to do this, or have it done, you'll need to order one of these too - http://www.buyicnow.com/vp.php?pd=2503 They're out of stock at the minute but I expect they'll have more in soon.0 -

Pretty impressive price for it man, lovely GET!http://www.buyicnow.com/fincat.php?cat=983
Will this do?
It's in stock and they say it's fully compatible.
If they say its compatible then it should be fine, though I must stress, if it doesn't work it won't be my fault
Those chips come from Hong Kong & take a while to get here, so you may do all the reading up on Earthbound as you can
Mother 2 cart sales to Ireland have spiked it seems 0 -

Here's the finished article. You can see in the bottom right, is the tsop adapter. This is where the original MASK type rom was before.
I'll keep the original ROM in the cart box too, for the sake of completion.
And thats that, the closest thing you'll get to a boxed Earthbound for much less than your monthly wage!
