Hi guys, been lurking for awhile and decided I should sign up and get involved.

I'm interested in SMS homebrew, in particular acquiring physical releases. From what I can see online, there haven't really been any physical cart releases of homebrew titles, unlike many other consoles (Lynx, Genesis, Dreamcast for CD's).

Does anyone know why this is? Or more importantly, does anyone know if it's possible? No doubt there'd be a load of donor carts required, and probably some kind of EEPROM flasher?

There's a great homebrew game with physical release:

There are plenty more homebrew games but sadly don't get a physical release... :(

All current physical homebrew is based on existing cartridges. Ones that can support more than 48KB are rare, making the homebrew harder to release in quantity.
