Hi guys just looking for any help i can get, thing is i got my hands on a YI cartridge and it just does nothing, the first time i put it in i got a black screen and no sound, i cleaned it, same result, i changed it's battery, same result, i cleaned my snes and got the same result, every other game i have works great, even the "Big ones" like Kirby SS and Dk 1-2-3. i have no ideas left and im thinking the game it's just fried.



Pics are on post, sry for sucky english, thx in advance for all your help

    try cleaning it with 0000 fine steel wool. if that doesnt work its possible that one of those fuses on the board arnt any good. the capacitor could have gone bad. and on rare occasion the lock out chip or fx chip might be fried im not totally sure. though.

    That doesn't mean anything at all. If you want to test a game to see if the system is working then try a game that has the super FX chip in it.   Try another console too.



    Also clean the game and system again.

    The solder mask on some of those pins has started to wear away, run a continuity test on the pins

    Maybe the RAM chip died, you could try replacing it.



    Also you are trying to play the game on a NTSC console correct?  The lockout chip is a is a 411 chip and will only play on a USA or Japan console.



    And have you tried any other games with a super FX chip.

    Haha...good point. I don't really know what region Chile would have. 
  • NandofraNandofra
    @jazz Chile is on South America (then NTCS)

    @pete1985 the only test im missing is the starfox test (another game with an fx chip)

    I've heard that Yoshi's Island has a higher-than-usual defective rate for some reason. There's a chance it's something in the board and not the ROM chip, but I believe this is the only game to use that particular board, making a ROM transplant stupid. On a $25 game it's not really worth fooling with it any more probably.

    I do have the same problem with mine.

    a friend of a friend fixed it, he cleaned and re welded the chips on the e-board
