NES Game Action Replay Question

[GForce]

The NES GAR is super rare but a great gadget. Is there any kind of newer product out there that does the same thing for the original NES but is cheaper and easier to get? There must be some Taiwanese knockoff somewhere right?

to tell ya the truth I never actually knew or believed there was such a devise for the old NES,good to know but actually tracking one of these is probably as easy as finding a needle in a hay stack with out a metal detector.

I actually have one of these. Found it along with a bunch of my other gaming stuff in my parents attic.
Anyone know what they go for?

Hmmm mine doesn't have a box. It's jut the cartridge. Anyone want it?

I remember having a very similar device for the SNES, think it was called the "Game Saver +" or something like that. Probably would have never beaten Super Ghouls and Ghosts without it.

I have one of these- http://www.retrousb.com/product_info...products_id=36 (copyNES). I don't think it does RTS, but it will read and write to sram, so I can switch saves between the carts and emulators. It also dumps carts, lets you debug on real hardware, (though it's pretty slow), and I can load up roms using the flash cart.

It's worth it if you are good with a solder gun, since you have to remove the 6502 from your board and replace it with a socket.

There's also an option to "fix" the Game Action Replay you speak of, since it seems it can corrupt when you replace the battery.

Nice! I would love to just De/Solder the NES for kicks and giggles, if anyone wants to see the install here it is http://www.nintendoplayer.com/protos...nesinstall.pdf .
