Use the t-shirt and credit card cleaning method on the snes and see if that has any effect. --- End quote --- T-shirt and credit card? |

According to The Cutting Room Floor, this anti-piracy routine is triggered when the game is unable to detect SRAM, i.e. the memory used to save your game progress. I'd say the SRAM battery is dead, and replacing it should fix the issue. |

I don't know if dirty pins can trigger the anti-piracy warning, but it's a good idea to try cleaning them before replacing the SRAM battery, specially because other games aren't working either. If you can, try playing the games on another (working) SNES to determine if it's a game or console issue. |
