Re: Legend of Zelda: Link To The Past Gets Unofficial CD Aud

I can't imagine that would translate well into heavy metal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18_bpuyO6TA There's loads of covers on Youtube, think I've heard better somewhere but the above link is pretty rad. Obviously do whatever you feel is right. Or make a hack that gives the player the choice of...

Re: Legend of Zelda: Link To The Past Gets Unofficial CD Aud

maybe the Stemage soundtrack for Super Metroid. Yeah, we had a lot of fun working on the Zelda hack. Most of the original team is doing DKC2 right now (which is in a workable, if not perfect, stage), but I just finished up a Mega Man X MSU-1 audio pack yesterday (Jews get super-bored on Christmas, ...

Re: SNES Black Screen/Won't read games

The most likely culprit is the 1000uf cap in-line with the 7805 regulator. Actually most American SNESes don't have that cap so that wouldn't be a good place to start. Really? Mea culpa. I have mostly SFCs (eleven of them at the moment, if you can believe it), and so far, all the SFCs I've opened h...

Re: SNES Black Screen/Won't read games

The most likely culprit is the 1000uf cap in-line with the 7805 regulator. However, I wouldn't be so quick to discount a bad pin connector. Console5 sells cap replacement kits for SHVC and non-SHVC SNES consoles. m One thing you may wish to try is to seat the cart firmly all the way down...and then ...
