Title: Writer carts....
Post by: Japan-Games.com on April 28, 2009, 04:06:48 am
Hey guys

I picked these up the other day, but I don't know much about them.  One of the orange carts is blank, the other has Lode Runner on it.  The white cart produces a gray screen only.  Any info available?

Thanks

Thanks, that's what I assumed it was, but I just wanted to be sure I had the right model in mind.

I see EPROM erasing windows on the carts. Did this kit come with a UV EPROM eraser?

Yeah, it's called the Sun.  :P

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I already imagine the instruction manual:

-To erase the games, expose the cartridge to the Sun for one week.

Couldn't the developer who came up with UV erasure think of anything else? It seems ... strange.

I don't think there are that many more ways to safely erase an EPROM...?
