Vandals909 | 0 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Sorry if this in the wrong forum. I have an original SNES and having issues with 2 separate copies of Super Mario Kart. The games loads and goes threw the menus just fine. One you start a race the track disappears or gets small. Any idea on a fix? All my other games work flawlessly. I bought another cartridge of the same game and same issues... Any help is appreciated. I have included a photo of the issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Man | 14 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Is the game played in the proper region? PAL game on PAL SNES NTSC game on NTSC SNES Have you tested another SNES, if you have one? Looks like your SNES does not like the DSP registers which would be the CPU or PPU. Might want to try get a Burn In Test Cart (a repro works fine) to test the registers. Edited March 19, 2020 by Ice Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandals909 | 0 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Game is the right region. No unfortunately I don’t have another console. I could buy one on eBay but afraid it wont work either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikkon | 19 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I'm leaning towards your cpu but have you tried giving the system a good cleaning,also leaky caps can eat through traces as well. Edited March 19, 2020 by Pikkon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandals909 | 0 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 I did clean the entire system and had it all apart. I also cleaned the game thoroughly. Is it possible to just purchase on eBay a CPU and replace it only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikkon | 19 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I really doubt someone selling just the cpu,you have to pull it from another system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandals909 | 0 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 So I’d buy a motherboard used and hope it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikkon | 19 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I would buy a working snes and maybe try and sell your broken one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
