Game loading up garbled characters. I don't want to hit it with the heavy stuff, unless I have to. :P

Sorry it took me so long to post these Mega Tank but there are all the ones I could find in my collection



Here are the stickers that are on most of the licensed Nintendo ones,



This is the common of the 2



All of the Nes/Snes ones were bought here in Edmonton, some are mine and some are my cousins from childhood . Both our mothers thought it was a great idea to throw out the boxes and put the games and manuals in these. Sometimes even cut the front of the box out and put in the front like Zelda.

The blue N64 one is licensed also

hope this info adds to the topic

Wish the logos and stickers weren't slapped on there all haphazardly. Kinda messes with my OCD a bit. lol

Other than that, those colors look awesome IMO.

I used to have a ton of those back in the day. I didn't even bother using them cause they closed so tight and were torture on my then puny 6 year old fingers.

Well... thanks for the reminder Mega Tank!

Just looked through... I can't add anything that Toxie and Killercobra (sick pictures) haven't already said. Killercobra posted a picture of the clear "Super Nintendo" cases I was thinking of before.

My neon cases have the same sticker on the back with the Delta, B.C. address and French translation.

What I can say is that my orange one doesn't have a large sticker, but has a small barcode sticker in the bottom left (back) that has the same barcode & number on it. A later release maybe?

Will insert picture later.

Okay... so from what I'm seeing... there's 5 neon colours?

Orange, Pink, Yellow, Green... and Red?

It's hard to tell with Killercobra's picture, but it looks like there's a red colour AND pink. I've got yellow, but no red.

New Help Wanted issue.Thanks!  

Alright, so... I was trying to fire up this game after giving it a quick alcohol qtip clean and some of the characters came up all garbled. I opened the game up to give it the hi polymer eraser clean and I noticed one of the pins had a mark on it. It did not want to come off. I only use the heavier stuff on guck or corrosion and this seems to be neither. I do not want to hit it with the heavier stuff if I don't have to. Any tips/suggestions would be appreciated. Other than the one spot in the first pic, near the middle, the pins look good to me anyways.

Is their some sort of conductive marker you could just rub on the one pin? I dunno about this kind of thing sadly.

I don't have a conductive marker. Any marker you could recommend? Also, before purchasing one, I would like to know if this was is sure fix or at least a better idea if this would fix it before I buy one.

I figured as much, but I was wondering if there was something I was missing. Oddly enough outside of rust and guck on pins, I have not seen a spot like this on a pin before.

did you recycle an old thread? don't do that, nothing before your post today will make any sense. just make a new thread.

it's hard to tell from the small pics but that might be a non-conductive damage, and it's probably high enough on the pin where it sits above the pin connector. that may take some repair work.

probably unrelated but is there printing on the rom chip? It doesn't show in the photos, and it'd be strange if it was blank.

1) I would prefer to keep one "Help Wanted" thread together to cause less clutter and to allow others to chime in on past issues if they want to. I placed the info I added to the first post where my new quesiton begins, so hopefully it makes more sense.
2) I cleaned it again, the pins are completely clean, but the graphics are still garbles on Spawn and some random enemies.
3) New pics of pins.
4) There is print on there, but I guess the lighting was bad on it. I use my cellphone, so yea... no professional photo studio here.  



Any new thoughts after new pics?

bad chip or bad board. bad board could include a broken trace that's not immediately obvious.

I have a ton of them...mainly clear ones but I have a few colorful ones. I use them for my special games...aka more expensive games. I don't have enough to case my whole NES collection so that's why I leave them for special games.

I also happen to have two N64 ones. I like these ones a lot more. I'm currently using one for my NFR Mario Party 3.
Would you mind posting a pic or two of the clear ones?
 

Buuuuuuuuuuuuump!!!

Took me a while to find this thread because apparently you're now looking for info on garbled graphics and are a good thread recycler.... Well... back to the super neon clamshells???

I made a thread dedicated to them/other clamshells in Collectors Corner...  We can combine all our pics there... I don't want to mess up what you're currently looking for MegaT, but you're the person who I was looking for when I found this "new" coloured neon!! 

I've recently come across a new colour, and taken a picture of the aforementioned SNES Clear one with an interesting back sticker... 

Astor, have you got pictures of your coloures cases or the clear ones as mentioned?
