I just got the replacement they had to mail out because of the lawsuit. I figured it would just be the cartridge but actually they sent the entire thing cib again. Anyway, has any NES actually been fried by these? Also, the various aliexpress bootleg carts which I assume also have the incorrect 3.3v chips? I played the first cart for at least a couple hours with no obvious issue.

It’s pretty good right? One of the best modern nes games I’ve played. Of course it’s very easy

>using flash chips designed for 3.3v on a NES that provides 5v
how one misses this

Yes it's good. It's one of only two homebrew games I've played that actually look and play like something that could actually have come out back then. Rugrats feel like a game from 92-94 game, the other is Garbage Pail Kids Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum which feels like something from 89

The garbage pail kids is great from what I’ve played. I need to go back and complete it. Also it seems to have some legitimate old school difficulty

I don’t know electricity stuff but yes, this seems to be the issue. But in my research I’m not finding any actual examples of damaged hardware. Just phrases like “ticking time bombs”

what ROM size and mapper does it use?

What he means is the cart is supposed to have a voltage step-down circuit to reduce the 5V from the console to 3.3V.

From what I’m seeing it uses something called mapper 30 and the rom size is 512kb

It's one of those dumb UNROM-512 boards that homebrew carts use.
