I want to make a Little Samson reproduction; need advice.
by on (#125446)
I'm doing some research into converting my Hunt for Red October cart into a Little Samson cart and using NesCartDB I find that HfRO uses a MMC3B mapper while LS is needs a MMC3C mapper, even though NesCartDB shows that both games use the same PCB Class, iNES Mapper, and PCB Name.

Can I use HfRO as a donor cart to make LS?

Update: I'm going to go ahead and do it and see what happens. LEEERRRROOYYYYY JENNNKIIINNNNSSS!

Very few games rely on the slight difference in IRQ behavior between MMC3A and MMC3C. So I'm over 90 percent certain that you'll be safe.

Probably it will. I got it to run an Roger Clemens MVP Baseball PCB, and that's essentially TKROM.
