Let me know if that gets you in the right direction or not.
I have made several repros in the past, so I usually know what I am doing. I used MC Kids, but I obviously used the wrong rom. The mapper 4 (mmc3) hack that I found uses 512kb for the prg, so it can't be the same one you used. Does anyone know where to get the correct rom?
I'm at work, so I can't go hunting right now, but the copy on my home machine is about 81k and has a file name of smb2j.nes. (I may have renamed it for simplicity, or it may have come that way.)

Sweet. I think I found that one. You have any idea why this is so much smaller than the rest of the roms I have found? Also, why did you decide to use 27c020's since much smaller EPROMs could have been used?
Honestly couldn't answer the question on the size. As for the chip, it just happened to be a chip I had on hand at the time. It was a waste, so if you have a chip that's the right size, use that. Don't be a dummy like me!

Awesome. Looking at the pinouts I think I should be able to drop in a 27c128 and a 27c512 without having to do any wiring. Unless I am missing something... which I very well could be.

I technically never finished it. Once I put them side by side I noticed several mistakes and several things missing.
I will consider making it available to individuals, but honestly since I made it from scratch I'd be pretty pissed if I started seeing my label on sites that sell repros.
Yeah, I know what you mean. There's part of me that thinks, "Who cares?" But when it's something you made and some one else is profiting from it, I know what you mean about that. I generally don't share my repro labels, mostly because it's a good way for me to track my repros since all my labels are made up from scratch.
