I've had alot of problems with NES games not working for me at all in the past. I do the usual eraser and rubbing alcohol/cotton swab combo and for the most part that works. but when contacts are really messed up, i use a dremel with a small special polishing tool and 99.99% of the time that works. if that doesn't even work, i check the board for any cold solder joints and touch up. I also check if any of the diodes or resistors are broken or popped in the board. if they are, i replace them. |

From what I understand, that game is the only game released for the NES in the US that uses that particular board. People actually use it to make repro copies of Mr. Gimmick because it's the only donor board that can get it done. And maybe your NES is having trouble running that unique board/mapper. Try someone else's NES if you can and see what happens. Seems a little too unlikely that both your copies would have the same issue after buying another copy. There's gotta be something going on with your NES that doesn't like this particular game is my best guess... I've had similar issues with pirate multi-carts on the NES. I have about 5 different ones, and for whatever reason they only seem to work on one of my NES's. I've tried them on my spare NES I have in the closet as well my roommates which both work perfectly and no matter how hard I try those pirate carts wont work. But then pop them in my main NES, and they work perfectly every time. Not sure what makes that NES more reliable, but something is going on with the others that isn't allowing them to boot those pirates properly. I also had a similar issue where if I pressed the start button as soon as I turned them on in the other NES, I would see the game start ad then it would reset. |

I have opened it and the contacts look perfect on both of them |

The only thing funny about that cart is it uses the FME-7 mapper, other than that the boards the same one used for all MMC3 mapper games. It works a lot like an MMC3 with extra sound hardware, but only Gimmic has the sound hardware, and it requires the extra channels on the Famicom. So using Joker for Gimimc means you can get the jap version with no sound effects, or the modified us prototype dump. Double dragon II uses the standard 128/128 mem, MMC3 used by a ton of games, nothing special in it. |

I also realized that this is my only sunsoft game so far (which is weird, ireally like sunsoft games). As far as i know, they have special sound chips (cuz their music is so awesome lol). |
