			I also joined to say thanks for making this mod public . Just wanted to know if a switch could be added to switch between 1mb and 4mb mode if the cart in your tutorial is the same ?

			Thanks for the reply @RazorX... , would you mind sharing your research on this as I’ve been interested in if this would be possible since I stumbled across your initial post , I’ve tried tracking the traces to and from the switches on the carts that have this feature but always run into a brick wall as the only visual resource I have are the low res images of those carts online , and those are so varied it gets confusing . I will completely understand if you do not wish to share your own research into this particular cart in your tutorial.

			Hello, Thanks RazorX for the tutorial. Great job finding out that A17 was unpiloted and connected to GND. We can now use 100% of the eeprom's capacity

			I tried this mod, and when the switch is in ground mode, all is well, but if it's in VCC mode, the console won't power on at all. I'm guessing there is something wrong with the switch I installed. Nvm, found the problem, pin 17 on the top Eeprom had a small solder bridge still connecting to the pad that I missed, it looked like it was lifted, but there was a hairline solder trace still there.

			Thank you for this tutorial. I would never say this was possible! Although now I’m wondering (probably a stupid or naive question): Is there a single cart firmware which combines Action Replay AND Memory Cart Plus at once? Cheers
