I wasn't using hackaday instructions, I did it on my own. You don't need instructions to change a rom with identical pinout, fucking arcade boards have sockets on the rom chips too, I just duplicated that on a genny cart. And my problem isn't that it is hard to do, just that it isn't worth it.
I did it because I already had a programmer so I might as well have some fun with it. If you want to waste money and a day, then sure, it can be a fun little project. But it is just not as useful as even a Chinese everdrive clone if you just want to make more games playable on your console.

And for the last time it isn't a fucking repro. It's a pcb with a DIP socket on it, which I swap rom chips on, built onto a donor cart with the middle of the front cut out.

>Or one flash chip with an adapter.

If I did that I'd need to whip out the programmer every time I wanted to change games, instead of just popping in a preprogrammed chip from the tray.

P.S. you forgot to end your post in "lel".
