excellent video! in the process of trying to repair two “black screen” SNES games with my dad, neither one of us have any soldering experience so we’re nervous, after watching your video though, i know we can do it!
Pro tip (probably a bit late for you, but someone in a similar situation may see this): If you're just checking continuity on a couple of carts, you don't need to buy a multimeter, you can use a bulb. battery, and some wire
brotip: when the pads are too scratched you can polish them with a cotton swab wet with metal polisher, they look like new after polishing and work better
I know, I didn’t even know it was worth much I figured it to be a $10-15 game. Turns out it’s a higher end title, perhaps it’s the Taito touch most Taito games have.
You're underrated asf man! Me and my stepfather (who have some repairing skills/knowledge btw) bought a copy of Donkey kong country 2 with this problem, and this video calmed me down a little bit more. Thank you for being so helpful and direct! Hope your channel blows up any day now ! - Charlie
Way to go fellow gamer nice job saving that super mario all stars super mario world and the ninja warriors your video helped me save a super Nintendo entertainment system and nintendo super famicom
What a coincidence. I’m glad you got it working, it’s super satisfying finding something that’s worth money (that you otherwise wouldn’t spend) for cheap in a broken state. I bought uncharted waters and L’empereur for nes not working for really cheap, I thought it would make for a good video turns out they work... I would never buy those games for full price cuz I probably will never play them.
How does a trace crack when it's still inside the cart case and there is no visible sign of exterior damage to the PCB? Is this a case of the trace literally just burning out inside the PCB itself?
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I just bought a turtles in time, it booted once but didn't get passed the first screen, after that it was all black. it's a bummer.

Nice work there. I like how you modded the super Nintendo to have an led light on it! Love your videos! 👍
Thanks, I really appreciate that. Also, the SNES led mod is in ep18 if you’re interested.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer yeah I seen that video and it was cool. I like retro games also and how well you fix them
brady Brotherton cool, stick around for more projects.
I really like your videos. They're thorough yet straight to the point. Keep up the great work.
Thanks again.
Lol when you hesitated to say good as new it gave me a good lil chuckle.
Clever trick with the wire. Ill have to keep that in mind if I ever find a cart like that.

Well done, particularly for the second cartridge.
Another Great Video Bro. That Ninja Game looks pretty cool too.

@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer yeah, its PCB is wack. Never heard of that game.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer Woah I just checked. Good find!
Monsieur Hon Hon yeah had no clue, I though from the lot the super Mario RPG was the most expensive title.
A fair assumption. Never heard of ninja warrior before lol.

Thanks lol I doubt I’ll blow up, I’ve since quit doing repairs. Hopefully one day I’ll get back to them.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer damn, how come ?

Nice work!
Thank you.
nice vid
When I repair some broken traces only use a wire thin as a hair, that helps when I close the cartridge
oah man the memories.. i found ninja warriors in a pawn shop 10 bucks.. and it had a broken trace that i fixed..

Have you ever found a snes game that won't boot but all the traces are ok?
Yes, I had a castlevania 4 that wouldn’t boot, I chalked it up to a bad rom.

@@adilator try a board swap, I did a board swap on that same exact game on one of my more recent videos.
