Micro machines cartridges for the nes

Beinsi

Hi, i was just wondering what is the difference between these two cartridges of micro machines from camerica is?

This one has the dip switch.

This one doesnt have the dip switch but does have the side label, micro machines.

Nobody?

It's been brought up before, but I don't think anybody had a conclusive answer. Do both of them play ok?

I dunno, seems one removed the option to either turn off/on the lockout defeater. And a label change, doesn't seem major. I don't think there's any revisions of program for that game.

In other words, the switch is to allow it to run on PAL systems.

How does the cart read the switch and what's it do exactly?

I would assume it reads the switch through code, or it alters something in the carts memory to allow it to run in 50 Hz mode instead of 60 Hz. Someone with more NES technical info will be able to answer that question for you, but the same thing is found on Quatro Sports.

Is your lockout disabled?



And heh, I thought I knew but dragoons information makes me wonder...
