Build your own Sega genesis cartridge

Filed under: DIY Projects, Gaming Greg Lipscomb on November 8, 2005 @ 5:33 pm


How cool would it be to make your own NES cartridges, and use it in your old console. This would be a tough project, and I don’t have the time to tackle it, but if anyone knows of it being done, let me know. I made my own circuit board one time, a long time ago. I wanted to make an external memory source for my TI-89 graphing calculator. I just drew the traces onto the copper, and etched away the remaing material. It was pathetic, and I got it all wrong. You have to print the traces on a special iron on material. I may do that next time. I did use to coop for NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX, and I worked on a robotic astronaut called ROBO-naut. I made a 6 layer circuit board for a motor controller in the wrist of the robot. I used Orcad layout to set the traces. It is a powerful program, I would love to get my hands on that software, but it is pretty expensive. One day, I will show a picture of the circuit board that I designed. But check out this guy’s cartridge that he made. I really want to try to get some good mods, and how-to projects to show, so if any of you have any that you would like to share, then send them my way. I will put them on my site, and give you the credit you deserve. Go to my “submit news” tab.

    I understand that FICO 08 will weigh the account balances more heavily than the previous FICO versions. It use to be a 30% weight – but now it is more….
