Well, I bought myself another SNES, and guess what? The bloody thing stopped working! I am **very** annoyed and figure I've done something wrong again... the funny thing is I didn't even mod it! Here's what happened: - Bought SNES, took it home, took it apart, noted that it had the 160-leg...

Considering the last console blew up, I went and found myself another PAL SNES... and it's one of the new, annoying ones. It's a 1995 model machine labelled 'SNSP-CPU-1CHIP-01' on the board. Instead of the myriad of little chips, this one's kind enough to plonk a chunky 160 pin chip labelled...

Thanks ExCyber! -Mangaman-

Just a quick question (that will probably be answered by ExCyber again ;)) about adding a switch to control having the copyright/country/whatever chip enabled or disabled allowing one to play imports on your SNES... Where abouts should I get the 0v/+5v points from? I'm already drawing the above...

Thanks for the input - I guessed I'd fried it to that degree ^^;;; Is there any way of fixing te problem? i.e. new voltage regulator? Or is this one SNES that's gone to heaven? You're the king ExCyber! -Mangaman-

Okay, I was going to the trouble of adding a 50/60hz switch and a switch to enable/disable the security chip... and now the damn machine won't work. No power is going through it at all - the light LED thing won't even light up. Hence I've fruited the machine... or so it seems. But my question...

Oh, it stopped resetting all right, it just won't load up games. Just a blank screen. My guess is that something on the board has blown, holding up the data transfer. Can't imagine what since the board is in excellent condition. Any ideas? I think this one's dead :P -Mangaman-

Well, I disconnected pin 4. No constant resetting, just an aqua-blue screen. Adjusted the cart slot so it hugs the carts and the PCB firmly, and no change. Looks like it's fruited :( Still, thanks for the idea mate - I appreciate it :) -Mangaman-

On the cart slot front, here's a Q from someone fashioning their PAL machine to be multi-region - Any guides as to how to adjust the PAL cart slot for US games? I don't have any US carts atm, so I can't test for myself... any ideas?? -Mangaman-

Bought a NES and games off eBay. The guy said "[it] does not load games well" on the page, so I thought a good cleaning of the carts and the inside would solve the probs, like the NES Repair guide suggests. Stupid naive me, the guy sold me a (probable) dud. Still doing that irritating...

I checked around GSX and some other sources, but couldn't find any info on how to get stereo audio output from the NES, nor composite video via a RCA connector (versus the RF box). Any ideas on where I can get the details? Thanks!! -Mangaman-
