Telegames EPROM carts - only for Mattel/Telegames games ?

[Lord-Chaos]

I have found out that all the Telegames carts - Kung Fu Superkicks , Bump n Jump , Quest for Quintana Roo , Bogey Blaster are on EPROMs.(and some of the SALU games ,too).

 

This may be useful for creating homebrewn games , because these carts contain EPROMs which can be erased.

 

But I´ve heard that these carts - if 8k , use a special bank-switching , which allows only Telegames games to be built with these carts.

 

Is this true ?

 

Does somebody know the size of all these carts ?

 

I´ve opened one defective Bump n Jump and it had a 2764 EPROM , that should be 8K.

 

Maybe these carts are still useful for homebrewn games.They´re quite easy to open and the old label is easy to remove.
