English reproduction SNES

[kingjohn3]

Hey do any of you know if there are any problems with reproduction carts? Do they work on any SNES or do I need an adapter? Just wondering if theyre worth the money. Thanks

They work on any SNES usually, you may have issues with PAL systems if you are buying US carts. They are made from old sports carts usually and the system sees the cart all the same. For the reason stated, I think its a more worth while investment to get a flash cart, especially if you have a large wishlist of SNES repros you want.

They would played on US system. Same rule of thumb foe NES? The only one I really want is the original Goonies. So there haven't been any wide range of problems that you're aware of?

Eproms do tend to loose their data after a while, possibly after 10 years (ROM chips corrupt as well, but they take longer). It depends on the quality of the EPROMs, but they will give out after a while.

Hmm yes, US cart won't fit in PAL console.

You could mod your console, but is it really worth the effort?

My comment was meant as DOOOOH, of course you will have problems with US carts with PAL console as they don't physically fit.

I don't have such problem as I have modded US console that can play any game.

Well, I currently own about a dozen repro's and have had only one negative experience. A few months ago I bought 5 repro's for $200. They threw all 5 games into a bubble wrap "bag" and shipped it to me. When they arrived in the mail the labels were all torn up and some of the carts were dented and cracked. The worst part is that one of the games didn't work.

1. Had to wait a month and a half.
2. Improperly packaged
3. Damaged labels and carts
4. I now own a non-functioning copy of the Violinist of Hamlin

I'm not going to name the site I bought these repro's from, but it's initials are GR and they are offering a special deal. 5 snes games for $200. Stay clear from these guys. I will never buy from them again.

On a happy note I recently purchased CT: Crimson Echoes from a different site.

I know which site you mean.
Actually my dead battery game was from there.

I've bought 20 so games from there and besides that dead battery I've never had problems with him.
