Buy a powerpak now while they're available. Seriously well worth it.

Homemade cart with EPROM- potentially the most available option. You can get donor carts and chips easily and cheaply. Heck, you can get ReproPaks and chips cheaply.

WOW MAN!

The idea of this is really exciting to me. Fingers crossed that it's doable 
Once the Beta testing is out of the way we should talk more.

MMC1 isn't TOO bad, especially compared to things like MMC3, MMC4, MMC5, Konami mappers like VRC6, etc. The only conceivable problem is that MMC1 has alot of variables you can play with, some of which are certainly "legal" but which Nintendo never actually made carts of. However, the Repropak boards do offer a little more flexibility with this, and are certainly alot easier to get set up than hacking an existing MMC1 board.
Ultimately, we'll just have to wait and see what his finished ROM looks like. And as for an SRAM save/load to PC circuit, that could certainly be done, though I'm probably not going to attempt that one myself.

Without using MMC1 (or any mapper), what are the options? If a non-mapper cart is limited to 32kb PRG then it's never going to happen - the editor itself take about that much space!

And a fold-out second screen to fit all the extra channels on?
