thegamezmaster Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) I have a copy of Snes Shadowrun. The problem is it starts to play on 2 of my original Snes's, then goes to a black screen. Then tried it on my mini Snes, Snes portable, and another original snes and the game works fine. Tried cleaning the cart contacts, and the cart connector on both Snes's that it won't work on. Even took the connector's apart and cleaned them. Checked all the pins and nothing looks bent or bad. Even tried putting in a new connector, no difference. Solder connections look ok on the motherboards. So at this point I'm stumped. Anyone else have this happen or have any suggestions? I appreciate anyone's help with this, thank you.

tpugmire Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Do you still get sound when the screen is black? I have a SNES that does what you are describing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Do you still get sound when the screen is black? I have a SNES that does what you are describing. The game shows title but when you go to select a new or saved game it goes to the black screen with no sound. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19rsn007 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 is it PAL or NTSC ? How about the consoles you try it on? What region are they? Do they have disabled CIC's ? 50/60 Hz switched your SNES-es? Have you tried clearing the game memory (if it uses a save function) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 All are NTSC, USA region and all are stock with no mods. Haven't tried clearing memory. Need to find out how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried clearing the game memory (if it uses a save function) It has a save function but I don't know how to delete the saved games. Checked on the web and game manual and doesn't say how. Does anyone know how to delete saves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19rsn007 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 do you happen to have a gamegenie or action replay? if so, just put it on there backwards, put it in your snes and power it on for about 30 secondes... if I recall right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust3dstr8 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 You can open the cart and short the ram manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust3dstr8 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hold a wire on the Vcc pin of the ram and then ground it for a few seconds. The SNES uses common rams that should be similar to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegamezmaster Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Update: tried an exact type of game with identical board and some of the graphics were garbled. So I'm thinking it's the decks not the game. Any suggestions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust3dstr8 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Sounds like good ole hardware incompatatbilty. It happens now and then with certain games and certain console revisions. Nothing much you can do about it.....toss it back on the shelf and move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
