hello, I know for the best foreign games on the NES/Famicom is by a ROM and emulator. The thing is that I hate sitting at a computer playing games. If I could, I play all my games on my big screen TV, but the thing is that one day on ebay, I bought a bootleg Earthbound Zero that ran perfectly on the NES in english. It even had battery setup!

Anyways, I am wondering how one would go across doing this action? Can you load a game into another cart? If so, how? Thanks

you need a programable 72 pin eprom cart and your nes needs its lockout chip disabled, no idea how to do either

Also you have to make sure that the cart you are loading the ROM into has the correct mappers.

This happened a while back with the "prototype" of Earthbound (Mother 1) for the NES. It turned out to be a fake.. someone just loaded the ROM onto the cart.
