NES and SNES Cart Batteries Long Term
Ice Man replied to Nickfraun's topic in General Collecting Discussion
No, he didn't. He's not a soldering beginner. The battery was already leaked and he tried to be as careful as possible. -
NES and SNES Cart Batteries Long Term
Ice Man replied to Nickfraun's topic in General Collecting Discussion
I just recently had a leaked CR2032 inside a Mario Paint. The PCB was covered in acid from the battery and was a pain to clean. A friend of mine also had a battery explode in his hands while desoldering it. Nothing happened though but the risk is there. I'm changing them when their voltage is below 3V or if they look bad. I mean they're 30 years old and probably would last another 10 years or so, but safety first. -
Damn just saw this topic. Recently became a huge Doctor Who fan as well since they're airing it on TV. Watched all of the episodes with Capaldi, Tennant, Eccleston, Smith and Whittaker and from most to least favorite, here's my list: 1. Peter Capaldi 2. David Tennant 3. Matt Smith 4. Christopher Eccleston 5. Jodie Whittaker Have yet to watch more episodes and other doctors to judge about them. I hope they're bringing out more seasons of Doctor Who!

Capacitor on backside of Exodus Ultima NES cartridge pcb
Ice Man replied to Luke4409's topic in General Collecting Discussion
This is just a fix to keep SRAM voltage steady to avoid corrupted writes when power is off. Usually 22uF decoupling caps are added between VCC and GND on the main board and also another 22uF between SRAM VCC and GND as seen on most boards that have SRAM. -
Famicom Gimmick! / NES Mr. Gimmick -- Question
Ice Man replied to avatar!'s topic in Collector's Questions
Quote from their site Therefore, it's the US proto ROM with no expansion audio. Besides, adding the circuit in a NES cart/console is more tricky since you will have to use 2 of the EXP pins, create the circuit using AY-3-8912 or 8910 and also mod your NES to play it properly. -
Some collectors are just picky and I don't blame them with how many repro carts of the more expensive games are there lately. Personally, if I have a cart with completely damaged label, I don't mind if it's remade.

Totally agree with every single word here.

Well, around 80-200 USD, depending on condition, completeness, etc. It is convenient but one should ask themselves if they want to do it. Just my two cents. In the end it's your decision and if you decide to go for it, good luck!

Why would you want to destroy such expensive beauty?

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.
