well, what I was thinking was making it myself (or someone else doing it because I dont know alot about it) Would this be feasible? or would it be really expensive/hard to do?

> > was just thinking...now, I'm not technically inclined at all so don't flame me if this is retarded...but, what if you made a flashcart and flashed nes roms onto it, and also have a programmable chip that you could put diffferent mapper info on with whichever game you played. so if you put a mapper 2 rom onto the flashram, you could put the mapper 2 data onto the progrtammable chip. would this work? any ideas? thanks

> It works for the GB/GBC (--> MBC 1-5, which are nothing else than Mappers as far as I understand it... anyone correct me when I'm wrong), so why shouldn't it work for NES?
> Only problem is that there are hundreds of NES Mappers (okay, only a handful of them are really important...) and I don't think that developing a Flash System would be worth the effort commercially (e.g. for a company like Bung).
