Can you post a pic of the cart connector? Some carts do have missing traces, not sure about different versions of Zelda though.korn16ftl3 wrote:ya i did that long before even considering this as an optionCRTGAMER wrote: The soldering is a drastic approach on a possible dead cart. You might want to confirm the cart is good with a thorough contact cleaning.i found a bunch of missing traces on the cart board when checking continuity from the contacts to the next point.
the weird thing is the traces were not even burned up they just looked like they fell off as there were still lines where the traces belonged just no current was passing threw them or something it was crazy

yai noticed that my version of zelda had by manufacturing default (was meant to be) about 6 contacts that were non existent so it didnt use all 72 pins on the cart connector on the NES, but at least 4 existing contacts on the cart did not have any current to the corresponding locations (found by following traces) on the PCB its selfCRTGAMER wrote: Some carts do have missing traces
