Is it possible to transplant ROMs from one NeoGeo cart to another? (using a similar boardset)

Story is I bought a Ghost Pilots off greedbay, the jackass failed in his "accurate description" to say that the game looks like it was left out in the rain for a year because it has leaves and mud sticking out of it, oh and a giant label on top that says "BAD 3/07" on it. Contacts were corroded to all hell.

Anyway, I would love to get this cart going, its one of the first games for the system (1990), maybe I could grab a common old game like say Ninja Combat and swap the ROMs? I happen to own a few of these carts, but I don't wanna ruin one unless I know this will work.
 
It is possible... Check over on the Neo-Geo.com forums in the "boot or no boot" section under the repair area...

There you can find pics of carts and links to cart sites detailing what games used what boards. That will help you with finding a donor cart.
 
Thanks for putting me on the right path. I found this page:

Unfortunately, the only other boardset that shares the same code as Ghost Pilots is Blue's Journey, which is another pretty old semi-rare game. It will probably set me back another $40 just to get a donor cart. I might as well call it a day and accept my loss.
