his wiring guide is partially off, you don't need one of the wires he used on NTRQ

PR8 / Pulsar, the reason it has so many steps is because PR8 runs on a hardware setup only found in a total of 2 games across the entire famicom and NES library, so he goes about hacking the hardware into an existing easier to find board instead of hunting a donor down. You can find a suitable donor (Final Fantasy 1+2 for famicom) reasonably cheap, shipping always kills the deal though, so you're almost guaranteed to be paying atleast 8-10$ for the cart

NTRQ - Interesting. I'll check this out tomorrow.

PR8/Pulsar - I understand why there are so many steps. If you managed to follow the thread (lengthy!) you would see that I tested the build with a friend of mine and the build used for a Famicom donor doesn't work on the American NES w/ an American donor. My question is why doesn't it work for the NES when it works for the Famicom?

I can build more but theres lead-times, this one can ship once paid.

Sweet. If you want to make a cottage industry of it, you could convert this thread after the fact to a per-order NTRQ cart thing.

Also, do you make these with donor boards, or from new parts? I don't know enough about NES repro stuff to be sure, but I'm under the impression you can make an NTRQ cart from all new parts out of stuff you can get from Digi-Key and RetroUSB.

EDIT: Oh shit, you can even use this thing to make Pulsar or PR8 carts. Damn, I hope they restock that thing!
