Such thing can be made by "cannibalizing" an existing Cartridge (Let's say... a GX4000 Burnin'Rubber Cartridge, as it is the most common one). Remove properly the ROM (the biggest chip) but beware to harm nothing. Then file a hole on your Cartridge, add a ROM/EPROM socket...there you are.

Of course the most important chip remains the ACID and should be treated with exceptional care.
