Garou Densetsu Special on PAL snes: a very strange anomaly

Post by Dan Hero »

This is my first post here so, first thing first I want to greet everybody.
Now I'll explain my problem, something worth of X-Files :D
I bought Garou Densetsu Special on ebay for my pal snes. the sns is NOT modded so the video output is set on 50hz.
To run foreign games I use Universal Adaptor AD29 Upgrade Version. I run games like area 88, super r-type, thunder spirits, akumajo dracula or assault suits valken flawlessly.
When Garou arrived I used the adaptor with a random pal game (I used alladin, but later I tried many more, from SF2 to Killer Instinct) and it worked very well. I swear I played it, man I can recall playing as Tung, Geese, Laurence and noticing the differences between the port and the coin op.

hell, I swear I played it, I'm not mad :D

allright, then I played a bunch of other games on the adaptor such as Magic Sword and Area 88, went to bed and the day after, EACH AND EVERY TIME I RUN GAROU the super nes pops the white phrase "This game is not developed for your Super NES/Super Famicom system. takara".

Now I can understand that the game can be region locked being one of the latest on the system but WHY did it work just for a day? It's impossible...

thank you in advance if you have a answer that doesn't involve ancient curses or alien worshipping terry bogard.

also, forgive me for my poor english.

It's the equivalent of a woman with a headache.

The SNES wants you to play more Area 88 instead of Garou Densetsu and it's faking a region lockout...
