Ugh, fine. I’ll submit an application.
Stupid masters degree and deep C++ knowledge.
And here I was enjoying being a jobless bum.
Also, can you please make it easier to do edge mounted connectors? Like a board fitting between two rows of pins with pins on top and bottom?
Would be nice if ya did.

Madden NFL 96/97, NBA Live 96/97, NFL Quarterback Club 96, and Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball.
All meh tier games that were produced in the hundreds of thousands and super common wide over. No matter how many I suck up on eBay they keep showing up.
There's also some other ones, too, just depends.

You just know he was holding back his tongue to call you some name or diss/neg you or some shit. It’s what they do.

Haha, trust me I felt the same. I've bought so many of the SNES games there now at this point, all that's left are the ones either too expensive or have too much degraded shells.
There's still a few Lo/Hi-ROM carts there though that I could grab, but I've given them so much business. :3

Or rather I should say, Nintendo didn’t have enough boards for EA to produce so EA licensed the boards and had their own made in the hundreds of thousands for their shitty sportsball games. They were absolutely atrocious in their yearly runs of slightly altered versions of games from years past.

Some also were produced in the hundreds of thousands for games slightly altered from the year before, and couldn’t produce enough of them so had to have their boards manufactured elsewhere. EA did this with Madden 96/97. They’re perfect HiROM 64kbit donor boards. Same board as Chrono Trigger uses.

Mainly I wanted the 5 to see if it had improved performance. The 4 was lackluster, but 5 seems to be a much better improvement.
Really neat little bit of kit, honestly. :)
Plus LAMP setups aren’t too terrible. Pretty easy to set up if following a tutorial thingie.

There are even cooler ones actually! They're just 100$ and I didn't need anything too terribly complex. Just something enough to do what I wanted it to do: run a simple, low volume e-commerce website.

I don't mind reworking boards though. It gives boards that nobody loves a chance at being heralded as special once more.

That is true! That's why I still produce the COMPLETE version, which has the better translation.
