So i got here a copy of Doom for snes but as you can hopefully

Doesn't matter at all. I have a couple carts like that

>>3028009
What exactly are the 2 silver clip things for?

Are the pins missing because of damage or were they never there in the first place? Developers aren't obligated to use every single pin.

I don't know what the fuck you are getting on about, but all copies of SNES Doom are like that. Here is a picture of mine and it plays just fine. You know how I know that? I put it in my SNES and it worked. You do have a SNES, don't you? Of course you do. Why else would you be buying SNES games? JUST PLUG THE FUCKER IN AND SEE IF IT WORKS. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

It's just a fucking common ground, holy shit.

Yes i know, i was just wondering if all copies are like this or...? And will putting it in my system be bad for the game or system?

No need to be such a roody poo.

>will putting a SNES video game cartridge into a SNES video game cartridge input that it was designed for hurt the system?
Think about your question. Even if the game doesn't work, all it would do is not work. How would it damage your system?

>>3028079
Don't know much about FX chips and what not. Jesus christ this board is full of spastic kids and elitists. Never mind. Let the thread die.

There is always only one clip on expansion chip games like Doom and Yoshi's Island. From what I can tell it's a ground which was included just in case, you can remove it without any issues IIRC.

>>3028079
>How would it damage your system?
If it's damaged then maybe some connectors are shorted together.

>>3028102

It's your own fault.

You posted a useless thread without an earnest trial and error session.

Maybe next time you'll learn to give things a shot before you come crying for help.

Calm down, he just asked a question. He wanted to make sure he wouldn't damage anything by playing it since it looked like something was missing.

I sell a copy of Earthbound on Ebay that turns your SNES into a bomb. It'll run ya 120 dollars

>>3028273
This, all i wanted.
>>3028170
Thank you, good to know. I thought maybe the cart had been damaged but it seems not. Cheers

>>3028328
I hope someone else is there to hold your hand all your life you massive cocksucker

>>3028359
Did he even test to see if it worked?

>>3028370
Yes, its working

>>3028054
>>3028029
It's a grounding pin.

Op is a fucktard

Regardless, throw it in the trash, literally worst version of Doom.

>>3031178
Can't be worse than GBA Doom or Saturn DOOM or 3DO Doom.

>>3031191
>GBA Doom

No idea that existed, I'd have to imagine the Saturn and 3DO versions are superior however

>>3031191
gba doom is at least 10 times better

>>3028307

sides in orbit.

Oddly the Super Nintendo version has better texture variety than the Jaguar-based ports. It also has the bosses that most ports are missing. But of course there's the ass framerate and shit resolution, as well as random shit like the inability to circle strafe which makes the whole experience miserable.

Doom 64 master race reporting in.

They were obviously built in such a way that if the cart is in the slightest way damaged, nicked, shook or stirred, farted at, or looked funny at, they will stop working. Just like practically all the other SNES carts.

He could've, you know, googled how the cart works. Second fucking image for "doom snes cart" has an image of that grounding pin visible, meaning that the cart has that by factory and it isn't missing anything.

Most extended carts (the type with the extra pins on either side of the main set) are like this. There's just the one spring contact on the cartridge shell.

Doom does have two extra ground pads on the PCB meant to meet up with spring contacts on the cartridge shell, but they ended up only using one because it was sufficient and a second gold-plated contact would have been an unnecessary expense.

The purpose of the extra ground is safety. The demands of the extra hardware in these carts are enough that you can fuck up the cart or possibly your system if your grounding is absent or insufficient, and you could cause that by accident if you pulled out or moved the cart while the system was on. The extra contact ensures the cart remains grounded to the metal shroud around the cartridge slot even while it's being pulled out of the system or jostled by the user.

Do these games have metal shielding inside the cart?
With anything other than plain old rom chips outside the main console, it wouldn't be surprising if they did it to pass FCC rf emission rules.

Never fails to trigger me.

>>3028061
seriously, this board reeks of underage these days.

>>3032042
Just the chip. The carts are very simple
