GRIND STORMER for SEGA GENESIS, how the heck can you fix these faulty carts?
sonicsju:
Faithful gamers of Sega's 16-Bit wonder know very well of "Grind Stormer", a Toaplan shooter published by Tengen.
They also know that a huge batch of the US/NTSC release was made very faulty, and have ended up as "dead carts".
Sadly I own two of these "dead carts", but I would like to know if anyone has discovered a way of fixing these?
No cleaning agents, "q-tips dosed with rubbing alcohol" or even "brasso" will revive these carts, I have opened them and discovered there are a few resistors on the cartridge itself.
Does anyone think these resistors need replacing?, and if so, does anyone know which ones to replace them with?, or know how to perform this operation??
any ideas will be helpful..
Thanks so much!!!

Re-Flash the Eproms. :(

Oh god, they were printed on EEPROMS? Jesus, why would they do that? and here I was assuming that the game was expensive because it was rare.

Actually, I have no clue.

Apparently they were very poorly made for some reason and a lot of the carts are dead. Far as I know there's no way to fix them.
