There are some Team Jaguar KA Aircars cartridges out there that don't save like others do. Apparently missing an eeprom like mine was. I really wanted to be able to save so in the future I can choose the level I play, which I could do with my original ICD Aircars. Well, luckily I got an extra cartridge label with my KA Aircars, possibly becuase the one on the cart wasn't perfect.
So I decided I was going to install my own eeprom chip.
So where to start? I don't know the type of chip I need, so I thought I'd start inquiring. But then I remembered I had a disembodied Checkered Flag cartridge that I used the case from for my Skunkboard. I don't want to remove it from my CF cart, I still play the game, but I thought I could see what type of chip it uses.
Then I remembered I had a 2MB Cybermorph cartridge I got used wich had the label lifted before to open it, so even though Cybermorph doesn't save, I thought I'd give it a look. Low and behold, even though CM doesn't save, it is equiped with an eeprom chip.
Well, 20 minutes later, I have the eeprom from CM desoldered and soldered into my Aircars cartridge. Next, testing...Aircars saves! Cybermorph still works fine! Viola! I have a KA Aircars that saves, with a fresh clean label!
