Can anyone identify this game by the board?

Hi guys,

I picked up a five screw game that appears to have had its label ripped off and replaced with an old baseball card sticker.

It also had offset pins to one side, like you would see for a famicom converter, so I thought I would pick it up just in case.

When I opened it up it appears to be a Kanomi board, but when trying to get it to fire up, it doesnt work?



Can anyone help identify this game by its board, or let me know what else I may need to do to it to perhaps make it power on in my system?



Thanks!

    I'm no expert by any means, but it might be any one of these 4 by the board.

    Yep, hit it right on the nose. I'm pretty sure it's TMNT, it's the only one of the lot with the text on the chips the same style.

    The contacts on this side could be the problem, they look too dirty IMO  :

    Yeah...I couldn't see very well....I am getting old!

    Now.....where did I put my PolyGrip?

    Cool! Thanks for the help so far guys. I'll try and give that side a good scrub down and see if it will fire up.

    (Oh, and P.S. on this, these pictures were taken before the initial cleaning.)



    Now comes my next question on this weird one. I picked this up at the same place I found my second 5 screw TMNT error cart.( see odd variants thread in collectors corner)

    The difference with this cart though, is that when I picked it up, there were only 3 normal screws in the back of it and the top two were empty, even though the 5 screw error carts are supposed to have 5 security screws in the back of them. Also the back of this cart had a caution label unlike the others. Anyway, so the question is how/why do you guys think someone put a TMNT, if that is the correct game, in a 5 screw shell with a baseball sticker on it an only replaced 3 of the screws and not all five? It just seems odd to me how this would happen?

    Any ideas?

    people swapped games in 5 screw cases before trading them in all the time, keep the better game and put a bad game in the case and get better value at trade in. i had the opposite happen i bought a copy of Tiger Heli for 1.99 and when i got home it was Contra. so i made out but i feel bad for whoever got the other game. i took the wrong label off and am going to put a custom label on it. you could do something really cool with a custom label if it is TMNT. and you will have a 1 of a kind custom cart

    So I cleaned those contacts best I know how and still no dice on getting the game to work. Just a white screen?



    Do u guys think that green line across the contacts at the bottom is preventing ga,e play for any reason?

    Cleaned with what? Must not be cleaned well. Unless the chips are fried, but they don't look fried or anything. I'd just clean it one last time. Take the game out and keep the system off for 5 or so seconds, then see if the colored screen is white normally too. If it is the same color on average with the game inserted then that's a sign the program isn't running, probably because of a bad PRG-ROM or mapper.

    Yeah this is the only game ever I have not been able to make work after cleaning it. The contacts look pretty good. Same color always like bright white when in the system. Other games that have had problems have been more grayish on the screen but not the bright white like this one. Is there anything I can do at this point? Or is it a lost cause?

    I personally clean em with brass polish and then rubbing alcohol but sometimes you run into a game that just won't work. IF you were REALLY curious about it you could directly solder it to a pin connector and see if it worked. (I wouldn't). That green line is weird too, I've opened many TMNT and never seen that.
