Happy birthday!
I don't have an SNES myself, but I know someone who has. When I was small I always loved playing with the DYDDY code in DKC  ____________________ |

Ah, so it's probably a problem with the sound chip (IIRC, Kirby's Avalanche did not use the SPC700)... hope you're good with soldering and desoldering chips  ____________________ Twitter • YouTube • DeviantArt • The Left Mouse Button Please Stand By for your New Layout.

Paulguy's Post configuration Games can't access the sound synth directly as far as I know. It's more likely the game used a slave program on the SPC700 and controlled it from the main CPU.
It might have more to do with ROM size or mapping or something, I guess. could be that a pin or 2 isn't making contact and that one game doesn't make use of it... which would be odd, unless it's especially small. Not sure, though, the ROM is 1MB. Maybe the board is thicker than the rest, providing the extra needed pressure against the connector pins? Have you used a game genie with this a lot? I hear they can stretch out the connector because they're extra thick or something. If you have a game genie, it might be worth seeing if the games work through that. ____________________ |

Originally posted by BloodstarIsopropyl alcohol, paper towels, and paperclips. Smaller paperclips are better. Originally posted by BloodstarThe easy way is to wipe alcohol on a cartridge and use it to scrub the connectors. The harder way is to wet a paper towel with alcohol and use a small paperclip to push it into the connector and wipe it out. It's a lot easier to reach the connector if you open the SNES. (And if you really want to, you can remove the connector to clean it.) Yes, I did just take apart my SNES.  ____________________ |

| My PAL console still works, but although in about 20% the console just shows "nothing", just switch off and on, it runs file. Even all save files are still there.
Just checked, Lufia II still has its old saves, 97 hours, about about 40h of that time sunk into the Ancient Dungeon. And, yes, happy birthday, SNES. At least this thing just worked, no need for firmware updates and such. Switch your console on -> play. But it would be unfair to diss any recent console, as these beautiful graphics just need to be loaded - and unless games come on SSDs (which probably will not drop considerably in price the next time), some loading still will be there. But then there's games like Colin McRae: DiRT2, which mask these loading times pretty good. ____________________  |

Well, skip that! Found my SNES games! 
Man, I can't wait to load this up and celebrate its, roughly, 20 year anniversary soon! Even though my SNES is in pretty bad shape. =/ ____________________ |

I have 3 Model a NTSC SNES consoles (1a, 1b, and 1b; each with different comparability with cheat devices), and my SNESjr.
Thank you Nintendo for making one of the best (if not the best) gaming consoles of all time... so shitty that you don't make any more games for it, or allow anyone else to. ____________________ Tomorrow will be black and white, with a chance of grey. http://gametz.com/user/nensondubois.html <- my game collection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtvx8TBA5EM http://board.gscentral.org/forum.php Let's go back to the late 80's-1990's and forget that the 21st century ever happened for the sake of our gaming, music, and reasonably sane technology. |
