Hmm... the issue is the pads are under the chips... I'll see if I can find a torch / flashlight to try again...

It has a 4mb ROM(?) chip on it... I googled it... AM29F040B

Hope this helps?!??! Not a flash cart... I think it was one of the carts made with it on... can't find my gameboy to open it up...

I bought one of the same carts off ebay! mine was yellow though (put it in a nicer shell)
the guy said they all had the latest version....mine had the earliest version of LSDJ on it for fuck sake lol

lol... this guy didn't say anything about the latest version.... I just noticed there wasnt a save/load feature which is what made me check.. no idea of the version differences....

I'm just wondering what game it was so i can make more!!! big_smile there's definately a nintendo chip from somewhere in there!

Its not an official game. It is a custom made board with MBC1 mapper chips extracted from existing official carts. They may also have extracted the low power-reset chip from the same place.

aahhh... are these chips pretty standard across gbc carts then? or has he taken it from a normal gameboy cart?

I'm assuming there's a ram chip and a ROM chip with the MCB1A lifted from another cart? with the little ic (195126a) for the sav file maybe?

The MBC1 and 195126a were taken from an official cart. The ROM and RAM are new.
The 195126a is to disable RAM when the power is switched off to protect saves from being corrupted.

The MBC1 and 195126a are both very common. Found both in Original GB games as well as GBC games. Typically though a GBC game will just have an MBC5 instead of the MBC1, or nothing at all.
