Any SMSfags able to help? Phantasy Star just boots into pic

Did you make sure the contacts were clean?

I cleaned them earlier with rubbing alcohol and the swabs didn't pick up much mess.

I thought maybe they were EU but apparently even EU games run fine on an american SMS so that's not the problem.

Okay, I figured it out. Fuck me man.

I opened it up and the EPROM is completely missing from PS, as if it was ripped out. What a load of shit.

It's just this really tiny board with nothing on it except a "MADE IN JAPAN" brand.

There isn't even any fucking room for a battery or SRAM slot, etc. It's such bullshit.

Y's looks fine but refuses to boot.

And not even coincidentally these 2 came from the same fucking seller.

Look at this bullshit.

Fucking hell man, that sucks.

If you have no recourse to get your money back, you could always blow the updated/translated Phantasy Star onto an EEPROM and stick it on that board.

That's fucking horrible. Been trying to get my hands on one. Now I'm nervous to even try

Wow. They didn't just give you the wrong game PCB, they took the game's ROM off the fucking PCB too. Bottom of this pic is what the PS SMS PCB is supposed to look like.

>>4013439
that's the rudest fucking thing I've ever seen, hot damn
Seriously, who the hell fucking pulls the ROM off a board and sells it?

Shit, what game is that board even from, anyway?
It sure doesn't look right at all.

But I imagine the board needs to be bigger due to requiring SRAM and a battery. Not sure if this board is salvageable.

One thing I learned from this is if you buy something, immediately open it and test. I've done this with my SNES stuff all the time but never thought it'd be necessary with SMS.

That's just fucking ridiculous. I don't even know what my board could originally be. All it says is 1987 on it, and SEGA somewhere.

>>4013963
Seeing as how the PCB doesn't even have room for a fucking logic chip, it was probably something early in the SMS's lifespan, like Black Belt.

>>4013439
Yeah, making pics so badly out of focus and *sharing* them is pretty bullshit.

>>4013439
Epic jewery. I lold

>>4013439
Haha, what the hell? Why would anyone do that? May the seller be buttfucked by a rhino with AIDS.
