Excellent!

For 27C322 support SNES repro PCB build your own carts

Everything arrived quickly and packed safely. Items were shipped out ASAP and received quite quickly to Japan. Quality is excellent! If you are looking for SNES repro PCBs, I highly suggest getting these. The component kits were out of stock but I'm lucky enough to have a local electronics store that had most of what I needed. Thanks!

Great pcb

For 27C322 support SNES repro PCB build your own carts

I was looking for a substitute PCB from the one I was using before which is no longer available when I stumbled on this PCB. It is better than what I was using before!!! Very easy to understand what to do even without documentation. I have found my new SNES pcb!!!

SNES repro board

For SNES repro PCB build your own carts!

Working on 3 of these. I have some NES boards also. These are really well done. Nice layout, exceptional markings. These and the NES boards are pretty stunning quality Id like to know the fab house. Waiting on the eeproms but otherwise they are done.

Great board. Having trouble finding schematics

For NESMaker Compatible NES PCB

Great PCB. Need to email Mr Tentacle for capacitor values unless i'm missing something... Shipping is amazingly fast considering the distance. Good transaction. Bad documentation?

Really nice product and custom support

For SNES repro PCB build your own carts!

I've bought 10 of these. They make the whole process very simple. I've reached out to the store owner for support on a particular ROM that is being difficult and he's been very responsive and helpful. About to buy a bunch more. Awesome.

Pretty simple to put together, even for beginners

For 27C322 support SNES repro PCB build your own carts

It looks great and works great too!

I was a bit worried since this was my first project using SMD components, but it turned out fine on my first try. If that is your case too, I suggest you watch a few videos on youtube about SMD soldering and go for it--don't be scared. :)

Response from mrTentacle | April 2, 2019

Thanks for your kind words!
I couldn't agree more, people are scared of soldering smds for no reason, the soic chips this boards use are very easy to solder.

Dermot | March 18, 2019

A great Product & Seller, A+

For Genesis repro PCB build your own carts!

Very happy with the Genesis repro PCB. Quality board, pads and vias are perfect size for easy soldering. Plating on the board is really nice. Might have to get a few more in the future. A++

Adapter board

For 27C322 to SNES Rom adapter

These adapter boards are great. As is described, it takes a bit of finesse to get these installed neatly but once they are they’re perfect.

Fantastic Boards

For 27C322 support SNES repro PCB build your own carts

These boards are my absolute favorite way to make hacks/repros/etc.

These are easy enough to build assuming you aren't scared of soldering a few mildly fine-pitched parts, but nothing on here is too daunting, and a little drop of liquid flux is all you need for the surface-mount parts if you don't get them right the first time (I never do).

Boards are clean, durable, and so far MrTentacle has shipped them to me quickly and well packaged. As soon as I can afford it I'm going to order another 10 or 20!

Response from mrTentacle | May 12, 2018

Thank you for taking the time to write a review Ben!
Also, the next revision will have a through hole option for the CiC making them easier to use.

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

Dan | April 21, 2018

Great Adapter

For 27C322 to SNES Rom adapter

These boards work well and are fairly easy to work with. Thanks for the great solution for the 27c322 chip!

Only thing that I think could be improved is the pin hole size for the 27c322. There’s quite a bit of space and the solder can flow through the hole to the other side too easily.

Ben | April 18, 2018

Excellent Board, Very Useful for Devs/Repro Making!

For SNES Breakout and lock defeater

Great board, this thing is a godsend for making repros as it lets you plug in test boards with ZIF sockets so you can quickly and easily test chips to see if they burned correctly or need to be re-burnt.

My only complaint is as follows: On the board the top cart slot is labeled "D" but the instructions for label "D" say "The LOWER cart connector (etc)" and the lower cart connector is labeled "B" and the instructions say "The UPPER cart connector". Obviously these are backwards and you should follow the printed instructions (upper connector label down, etc) - but you might want to rectify this before printing the next batch?

Also the instructions about the ICSP header jumper are unclear. Do I need to bridge that jumper whether or not a CIC chip is populated, or only if CIC is populated (aka Import Adapter mode, which I don't need/want for my purposes).

But again, otherwise a great board that fills a huge need in the repro/dev/import community for a very reasonable price.

Also only other downside is that it doesn't come with the 62-pin cart slot and you have to order those off Aliexpress, which is pretty much the only place you can find them for cheap unless you want to use an OEM SNES slot, but that's kind of overkill...

Great product For making games

For 27C322 to SNES Rom adapter

I have used this product to make three translated games with these PCBs so far, they are easy to assemble and function perfectly. So much better to use than Tsop adapters currently floating around.
I was so pleased with them I have placed a second order to do more games. and will likely do so again

Great product!

For 27C322 to SNES Rom adapter

I love how small these are, and how clean they make installs. Personally, I had no difficulty assembling the parts, and my first game with the adapter worked perfectly. Will likely buy more!

2 nitpicky design thoughts:
1.) Would prefer the 5V and GND rails to be thicker than the traces for the address and data lines
2.) Feel like the 74-series chips should have filter caps on them.

P.S. I live in Virginia, and it took 20 days to arrive, but it's worth the wait.

Thanks for taking the time to write and to leave feedback, I will definitely take this into account when I make the next revision!

Difficult to assemble, but well worth the effort

For 27C322 to SNES Rom adapter

AM29F032B chips are a pain in the butt to solder, 27C322 always seemed like a good idea to me, but it was a mess to get the wiring right, especially with the required 74HC257x2 chips. Low and behold, Mrtentacle apparently thought so too, and made these adapter boards, which puts all the required hardware on one board. While these boards are a very tight fit and take a while to assemble, they make a clean, professional looking product that opens up the 27C322 chip for more projects. Highly recommended!

Jaime | Feb. 22, 2018

Great Idea, Design a bit rough

For 27C322 to SNES Rom adapter

Straight to the point, I love the idea of a 27c322 adapter for your SNES donors. That way, you aren't spending a chunk of change for TSOP to DIP adapters, or using 3.3v flash chips. My biggest issue is the design. You have to do so much prep to get it to fit as low to the board as possible, and even then it will barely fit in a US cart. Personally, I would say it would be better to make the 27c322 side surface mount, instead of Through-Hole like the SNES Mask ROM side. But overall, love the idea but the design needs a bit more work.

Response from mrTentacle | Feb. 1, 2018

I will definitely take this into account, thank you for your feedback!
