send me anything you hear about this... Why is this so hidden? I don't get it? Who holds the monopoly on this? Why hasn't someone done a faq?

i saw some of your previous post about this but no one seems to be willing to answer

though it s not a very lucrative business as techies usually charge 50 to 75$ to do that

i wouldn t loose so much time to do that just for 50$

are they afraid of competition

damn that s stupid

i ll be trying to do that on my own

as soon as i get something to work i ll post it here
i hope i ll not burn to many carts

It's not as simple as doing a FAQ of a sac game, as you have seen in the past some members have been getting really good at doing there own convertions and have work %100 and also have taken the time to post there results and how it was done, that would be your best way to get started, by doing one that has been done and follow the instructions.
Like i said it's really hard just to do a Faq since all games are different, some only required for you to switch roms and you're done, some require for you to do some jumper setting modifications to address the data properly, some required for you to cut some traces to stop certain data getting to a point, some require for you to add some ic's and wiring them to the board again to address data correctly...
so it's not as simple as to do a universal faq, specially since people are always looking to getting the least expensive sac cart, so more work needs to be done...

Besides i think that $50 is not a bad price to pay to have someone do this for you and save you the trouble of messing up the home cart or MVS and get nothing in return, i myself, would just pay the $50 and play it safe....
Specially since you're in France, give LastResort an email and he can do the convertion for you, or even help you out....
Neo Mike if you want to give it a shot, email me and i'll give you my # so you can give me a call, since i'm really close to LA, and i can see what i can help you with...
Again, i myself recomend just paying the money to get it done, and save your self the trouble and also having to buying the equipment need it to do the job, ofcourse unless your going to do several....
So to the both of you, give Jeff K an Email if you want to get some convertions done, he's the best when it comes to convertions.....

Again if you wan't to give it a shot, trow me an email and i'll help you through it.... :D
