  they're straight up retrousb cases http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?cPath=29 not only that, but look closerly at the pcb in the clear shell enhance!  now where have i seen this pcb before hmmmm oh yes! this is just an older version of the retrousb mmc1!  but those  nerds in you are going to go "but flyboi! the action 52/cheetahmen 2 cartridgue was mapper 228! all that couldn't fit into mapper 1! 228 is 2 mbit!"silly people, the action 52 cartridge was nothing more than a rom selection menu that used banking to only load smaller chunks of the 2mbit cartridge! the actual game is ~4kb which fits just fine on mapper 1

that was a pic the guy behind retrousb made of the NWC pcb after he had finalized it all his final builds use eeproms which still, suck total rear end and die after 10-15 years since i'm now 100% certain those are retrousb carts no, there is no mask rom in them

so they're just putting the rom files that are out there in the public onto eeproms that anyone can purchase without actually putting any effort into anything to make them last in the same way nes games do? sounds like a kickstarter

sorry "ping" (ˈpiŋ) is already taken by ping.exe and partimg is not ghost so you have to pronounce the letters individually in png
