Great product, fast shipping
For 29F032 /29F016 to SNES Rom adapter
The product quality is excelent. I have purchased and used more than 30 pieces and every one of them worked perfectly. Tested the games months after soldering and they remain working great.
The shipping is very fast and the support from the seller is the best.

Works with Sonic3Complete.
For Genesis repro PCB build your own carts!
I was skeptical this was compatible with some games that use FRAM. I'm very happy to confirm it works. Seller was great with communication. PCB is overall excellent. Documentation is good, listed compatible ICs and passives are everything you need. Not all through-hole battery holders are a good match, some are too tall to fit inside a plastic cartridge shell. Stick to surface mount CR2032 battery holders.

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?

Nice work !
For 27C322 to SNES Rom adapter
Really great work ! Easy to use. Work perfectly with a lorom card and a 32MB ROM.
PCB are really flat.
Thanks a lot

Good product, great support, most supportive seller ever!
For 27C322 support SNES repro PCB build your own carts
Bought a couple of those.
When I had an issue (which was caused by me) the seller went to great lengths to help me.
Thanks a lot for the great support!

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 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.

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