So I recently picked up a Famicom from another member and have fallen in love with it. There are a few games I want to play on it but since I can't read Japanese makes it impossible. I was wondering since I have an eprom programmer if its possible to remove the mprom and program an eprom with the translated rom and pop it back in the cart. Any info will help I know this might not be the best place to look but everyone here seems pretty smart.

Or you could just grab a Famicom to NES adapter since that is what you want anyway. Or are you referring to those ROM translation projects like Mother (Earthbound Zero) for the NES? It would be much easier to just buy a powerpack and run that in a NES or in your Famicom with the adapter.

Well I want to have the original cart with the translation on it. So I would take a copy of mother and replace the rom with one the has been translated
