I've had A Super Mario RPG cart sitting in my closet for years that has pretty severe trace damage, so I decided to try and save it by buying a PGA Tour 96' cart for a couple of bucks as a donor to put the SMRPG chips onto. PGA tour worked and booted fine before I tore it apart, so it's a working cart. No idea if SMRPG was ever working at all-because of the trace damage I couldn't test it.
I ended up putting SMRPG's sram and rom chips onto the PGA Tour board and the game gets as far as showing the nintendo and squaresoft logos, then it transitions to a scene of a sky and some clouds. After that it seems that the game freezes up in the clouds while the rest of the intro song plays to completion. It always freezes at this part.
I've read people having similar problems trying to make Super Mario Armageddon repros, but I can't find a solid answer on what to do!
I am a super beginner at this type of stuff and have almost no idea of what I am doing. I thought this might be a fun project to take on! Any suggestions on what I should do?
