this cartridge actually comes from a body of work of two artists from the beige collective – cory arcangel and paul b. davis [there are four in the collective.] they are also known for their album 8-bit construction set which features tracks – some programmed in assembly language on atari and commodore 64. check all this out here http://www.post-data.org/beige
paul b. davis has gone on to do other stuff – more circuit bending and mobile phone stuff. he will be giving a workshop on the nintendo nes game cart hacking on 30th april at the bent 2005 festival in new york http://www.thetanknyc.org/bent2005/schedule.html

this was actually part of the 2004 whitney biennial as a video art installation… it was linked earlier today in a wired article…

a little blog thing about him installing this work at the whitney:

thinking, dont they have ir ram? if they do, all you need is an ir capable computer, (there is a hack on this site for that) and a compiler.

I hope this is alright to post here. This site has a deal on the 27C256 Eprom and programmer required for this project.
The programmer has both USB and Printer Port adapters and only runs for $75.
The Eprom’s are $3.99 each.

Hope this helps you guys. I bought a pair myself.

Here is a page with alot of info on this kind of stuff. This guy (memblers) and his crew are really hard core. They have been hacking roms for years. They got heavily into the NES sound chip. Be sure to check out the music files composed through 6502 assembly coded composition tools. (I did “No Quarter” and “Land of Confusion”) : )
Enjoy

I’m actually working on a project very similar to this (in fact, I referenced that site, and some other Cory Arcangel/Beige work in the proposal). I’ll post when I’m finished, if anyone cares to see it.

programming with that language is old news:

all this guy needs are the hardware tricks listed above, and we have a most excellent NES game!!!

Yeah, Bob Rost (link above) developed his own NES game (and the compilers and other tools to create it) and installed it on a hacked cartridge. I was in that class, and it was really cool, though my game (Grave Digger) wasn’t the most impressive.

This guy teaches a class at Carnegie Mellon on how to program nes games:

I haven’t actually read any of his lessons, but it sounds pretty cool.

Why using such old eproms with UV capable windows? They are old old old.
Why not use 29XXXXX series flash rom’s?
And there is one great source of these chips… Dead mainboards, just look up the datasheet how the programming cycle goes, and write a small program for a microcontroller.

The programmers don’t have to be $250, you can build your own with this guide: http://www.zws.com/products/epromr2/ and you can buy sub-$100 programmers at http://www.ustr.net/epromer5/index.shtml

If you do much hardware tinkering, an EPROM programmer might not be a bad investment. I have a Pocket Programmer (can’t remember the URL), I think they’re still less than $150. If you want to be super cheap, stick with 28xxx series EEPROM, and you can build a $5 programmer yourself. A few minutes with google turned up this link: http://www.miranda.org/~jkominek/hardware/eeprom.html
