Before I buy it, do I need "USB copyNES" to convert mappers? |

RetroRain can answer that. Until he answers, do not buy it. And I don't think you actually have to buy one, you can do the same with FCEUX's debugger and a hex editor. I think. I'm not an expert. 
Oh, and I don't think that board can convert mappers for you. EDIT: Okay it can change mappers. But I think that only changes something in the header or wherever the mapper type is stored in the ROM. I don't even know what I am talking about. |

Dracula X, what are you looking to do? Are you looking to do a mapper conversion of a ROM, yourself?
If so, all you need is FCEUX and a separate hex editor. And I would also get Firebug's mapper document. It has been tremendously helpful in doing mapper conversions. But if you are looking to convert a ROM to MMC5, I highly recommend using nesdev.wiki's MMC5 page, and not using the info in Firebug's document. I'm not confident with the information in that document pertaining to MMC5. The nesdev.wiki page has a lot more, accurate and detailed information. I don't know what USB copyNES is, but you don't need it if you are going to do mapper conversions. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

Yes! I thought it can convert mappers. I want to try to convert UNROM to mmc5. In mmc5, we can bankswitch anywhere. If that's all I need, then I'm all good. |

UNROM is the easiest mapper to convert to a different mapper. So yes, I definitely recommend converting an UNROM mapper if this is your first time doing mapper converting. My first mapper conversions were UNROM. Rockman, Ghosts'n Goblins, Rygar, and The Guardian Legend. I converted them to MMC3 though. Then once you get the hang of converting UNROM, you can move onto to other mappers.  ____________________ My YouTube Channel |
