So I bought a bunch of MegaROM 2.0 PCBs from @retrostage, but I haven't been able to make them work for the life of me on my PAL SNES. I have followed the instructions to the letter. My console recognizes there's a bootable cartridge (gives signal to the TV, something it refuses to do when I insert a SFC game) but then, nothing happens.
Here's what I have done:
- Properly burned and verified both the 27c322 with the ROM and the 16f629 with the SuperCIC Key. On my first try, I burned a Chrono Trigger, but then, to ensure full compatibility, I burned a Spanish Terranigma, which should load perfectly on my Spanish SNES.
- Soldered every component the instructions asked me to.
- Resetted the console several times so the cart's SuperCIC can match the console's CIC.
- Ensured every chip and component was facing the right way and soldered to the right holes, from the diodes to the battery.
- Prayed.
I use a MiniPro programmer with an adapter that verifies every EEPROM bank. But I don't know what else to do and I think I wasted 60€ on those.
Any ideas?
