Anyone ever think of doing this? The Dr mario one has a Nintendo Custom chip MMC1B of which I have access to if needed to do a small run. I was also looking at Castlevania or Top Gun Daughter cards. I see the prices for both have gone through the roof.

The big problem would be the PPUs, I don't know if someone has figured out a way to repro those and if you find one chances are they're still with the daughterboards anyway. Sounds like a great idea though if you can figure out a way past that issue! Multi-PPU on an FPGA? :)

Edit:
I poked around and it looks like FPGA PPUs have been done at least for home consoles like the NES, so I guess it's possible.

I will be reproing the Daughter cards for Castlevania, Dr Mario, and Goonies. In that order it will be about the same time frame sometime in the next year to have all 3 done. I hope to have Castlevania done before the end of the year. Target price of $60-80 depending on how many preorders I will get once production starts.

I just found a Vs goonies daughter card, while going through my other boards. I didnt even know I had one, now that saves me from having to buy or borrow one from somebody to take apart and put back together. I keep forgetting to check the Custom Konami Chip on these daughter cards, but it looks like the ones that I have so there should not be any issues with these cards. I have the MCC1Bs so the castlevania and Dr marios can be done for sure.

I'm picking up a couple of red tents tomorrow and this would make my pick even better knowing this is coming down the pipe line.

Slight problem with the Goonies Cards, I dont have the konami Custom chips, but am working on sourcing them.

are you still working on these? i might be interested in a castlevania.
 
Yes, they are still in the works. I have them just about drawn up, I just need to double check my work before I have them printed. I am hoping within 6 months, about the same time the universal PPU might be ready.

I'd love to try it out. What PPU do I need?

Fun game. This game seems to take a few different PPUs. There is a dip switch setting to change colors to match the PPU you are using.
