Sorry if this has been brought up, but I can't find the search function on the wiki. I have 2 copies of the famicom final fantasy 2 cart. I haven't tested them since I bought them years ago. I was planning on selling them so I decided to test them both out. The thing is every time I went to the battle screen, the game froze. When this happened to the first one I cleaned it over and over and reseated it about 30 times and every time the same thing, but then the 2nd cart did exactly the same thing.

The kicker is I was using a famicom/clone called the "cool boy". It's a famicom hand held that uses a adapter cart to run famicom games. I was just wondering if FF2 had some copy protection software or routine, or both of my carts are busted in excatly the same way. Thanks

It's probably not compatible. Use a real Famicom, or get an adapter and use a NES.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
