8 Megabitz DIY Memory Module

The 8 Megabitz is a DIY programmable memory replacement module designed for compatible Super Famicom and Super Nintendo cartridge hardware that uses supported 32-pin MASKROM configurations.

The module uses a TSSOP-48 packaged 29F800 flash-memory device and is designed to allow compatible cartridge data to be programmed into replacement flash memory without requiring removal of the cartridge's original MASKROM.

When properly installed according to the published documentation, the original MASKROM remains physically installed on the cartridge PCB and does not need to be desoldered. This makes the modification designed to be reversible without permanently removing the original ROM device.

REVERSIBILITY DEPENDS UPON PROPER INSTALLATION, REMOVAL, AND HANDLING. NO MODIFICATION INVOLVING SOLDERING OR ELECTRONIC REWORK CAN BE GUARANTEED TO BE COMPLETELY RISK-FREE OR NON-DESTRUCTIVE WHEN IMPROPERLY PERFORMED.

THIS IS A DO-IT-YOURSELF ELECTRONICS PRODUCT. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION, CARTRIDGE PROGRAMMING, ROM FILES, GAME DATA, AND SOFTWARE PATCHES ARE NOT INCLUDED WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS KIT.

What's Included

• 8 Megabitz Module

• 29F800 TSSOP-48 Flash Memory

Compatibility

The 8 Megabitz is intended for compatible Super Famicom and Super Nintendo cartridge PCBs that use a supported 32-pin MASKROM configuration.

NOT ALL SUPER FAMICOM OR SUPER NINTENDO CARTRIDGES USE THE SAME ROM CONFIGURATION. THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING CARTRIDGE HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY BEFORE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION.

Before ordering or installing the module, inspect the cartridge PCB and determine whether the cartridge uses a compatible 32-pin ROM configuration or whether another product, such as the Super Stacker, is more appropriate for the intended application.

Compatibility may depend upon ROM size, PCB revision, mapper or enhancement hardware, addressing requirements, memory configuration, and other cartridge-specific technical characteristics.

Compatibility information is provided as a technical guide and does not constitute a guarantee that every cartridge, revision, software image, patch, or custom configuration will operate with this product.

Installation and Programming Risk

INSTALLATION, PROGRAMMING, REMOVAL, OR MODIFICATION OF THIS PRODUCT IS PERFORMED ENTIRELY AT THE CUSTOMER'S OR INSTALLER'S RISK.

The customer and/or installer assumes responsibility for damage resulting from installation, removal, programming, modification, troubleshooting, rework, or use of the product.

This includes, without limitation, damage resulting from excessive soldering heat, lifted pads, damaged traces, solder bridges, short circuits, incorrect wiring, incorrect orientation, reversed connections, improper programming voltage, incorrect flash programming, electrostatic discharge, physical damage, improper tools, incompatible cartridge hardware, improper installation technique, or failure to follow the published documentation.

Voultar LLC is not responsible for damage to a cartridge PCB, original MASKROM, SRAM device, enhancement chip, flash-memory device, cartridge connector, console, programmer, power supply, accessory, or other property caused by end-user or third-party installation, programming, modification, removal, troubleshooting, misuse, or improper connection of the 8 Megabitz.

Original Cartridge Hardware

Super Famicom and Super Nintendo cartridges are vintage electronic hardware. Original components may already be affected by age, corrosion, battery leakage, previous repairs, undocumented modifications, damaged traces, failing memory, connector wear, manufacturing defects, or other latent conditions before installation begins.

Installation of the 8 Megabitz does not constitute a warranty of the cartridge, original MASKROM, save memory, enhancement hardware, cartridge PCB, or any unrelated original component.

Voultar LLC is not responsible for failures caused solely by pre-existing defects, aging components, previous repairs, improper storage, corrosion, battery leakage, third-party modifications, counterfeit hardware, or other conditions outside the scope of the 8 Megabitz product itself.

Quality Control

8 Megabitz hardware may be functionally tested before shipment as part of normal quality-control procedures.

Pre-shipment testing confirms operation only at the time and under the conditions in which the product was tested. It does not constitute a warranty or guarantee of future performance, successful end-user installation, successful programming, cartridge compatibility, software compatibility, or protection against damage occurring after shipment.

Order Processing

DIY products are generally processed and shipped within approximately 5 business days after an order is submitted.

ALL PROCESSING AND SHIPPING TIMES ARE ESTIMATES ONLY AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED SHIPMENT OR DELIVERY DATES.

Processing may take longer because of unusually high order volume, component availability, supplier delays, manufacturing delays, staffing limitations, illness or medical emergency, equipment failure, severe weather, utility or Internet interruption, carrier disruption, or other circumstances reasonably affecting normal business operations.

A delay beyond the estimated processing period does not, by itself, constitute a guaranteed delivery-date violation or automatically create a right to cancellation, refund, discount, or other compensation, except where otherwise required by applicable law.

Delivery time after shipment is controlled by the shipping carrier and is separate from Voultar LLC's order-processing time.

Shipping

Orders will be shipped using the shipping method selected or otherwise specified during checkout.

Once a properly addressed package has been tendered to the shipping carrier, carrier transit times are outside Voultar LLC's direct control.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Voultar LLC is not responsible for carrier delays, routing errors, theft, misdelivery, or physical damage caused solely while a package is in the custody of the carrier.

Any available shipping insurance or carrier claim will be handled according to the applicable carrier's rules and the coverage purchased for the shipment.

Final Sale and Order Changes

The 8 Megabitz is sold as a customer-installable and customer-programmable electronic component. The customer is responsible for reviewing the contents of the shopping cart, quantity, product selection, compatibility information, shipping address, and other order details before checkout.

Orders are considered final once submitted and processing has begun.

Orders will not ordinarily be cancelled, modified, combined, exchanged, or refunded because of buyer error, duplicate ordering, change of mind, accidental ordering, failure to verify compatibility, unsuccessful programming, or unsuccessful installation.

Installed, soldered, programmed, modified, cut, altered, damaged, electrically connected, or otherwise used DIY products are not eligible for return or exchange except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Nothing in this section prevents correction of merchandise incorrectly supplied by Voultar LLC or eliminates any right or remedy that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive.
