 Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2008 7:23 pm Post subject: Super flash cart problem discovery |
 |
|
Hello,
I found something very interesting with SNES and it doesn't just involve the super flash cart, but the game genie as well. First, ever notice that with the game genie, games like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II turbo do not work with the game genie on some systems? This was a mystery for me for awhile until I started re-building american SNES systems.
I found that Nintendo made two different types of motherboards. There are the kind that have the removable sound modules and the "newer" boards that have the sound chips built in. The older ones seem to be before 1993. Anyway, with that problem in mind, when I got my stock of SNES systems in, I tried the game genie with an older motherboard. What do ya know, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II Turbo worked with the older system.
I then remembered I had a problem with a few games locking up with the super flash cart. I then tried those games with the older SNES motherboard and they worked fine!! Needless to say, I found the best older style motherboard and built myself a nice retro SNES and am now using that instead.
Maybe the guys at TotoTek can investigate this?? I hope I helped shed a light on some common problems...

Hi,
Can you list some games that lock up with the newer unit?
I want to test mines...
Thanks |

I noticed the problem with Illusion of Gaia, you have to play it to the point where you go to Neil's Cottage for the first time and it locks up, it does this with other points of the game too. That's the only game I found the problem with so far since I haven't had time to play through more games.
I'll go back through and get to that point on the game and upload the srm file for you if you'd like...

| I noticed that Pilotwings doesn't work with the flash cart at all, in either model system. Is there a reason for this? Also games like Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Super Mario World 2 do not work. |

| I have to apologize, I got to the same point in illusion of Gaia and didn't have any problems, it must have been just that console. However the game genie thing is still evident |

All games you mentioned contain extra chips. |
