I have tried to play my NGCP games but they don't want to work. The NGCP gives me messages like "This game is only for the NGCP". These games were working fine before why don't they work now?!?!?! Please help!!! Thanx in advance.

I know this kind of stuff sometimes happens, but very, very rarely. The faq on SNK Vs. Capcom documents a way to have the b&w artwork appear on an NGPC. What I recommend you do is remove the memory battery, as well as the 2 AA batteries, then replace them. This should fix the problem.

I already replaced the batteries (both the AA's & memory battery) but I still get the same problem.

Just notice that I put "NGCP" instead of NGPC. sorry.

Try a different cartridge. Clean the cartridge as well just to be sure.

Thanx again.

It already happened to me, and no, it's not the cartrige, it will do the same with any color game not working on an NGP.

Although I somehow fixed that problem...
I did remove batteries and all from the console, and left it somewhere thinking it was dead.

I tried it back a while later and it was working as if it was new.

I brought my NGPC to work and "fixed" it. A friend here just cleaned up the battery contacts, both the sub & AA's. It worked fine but I think it was doing that weird stuff because it's missing the sub battery cover. We fashioned a new one out of a plastic staple box cover. Thanx for all ya'lls help!

What happened was that the NGPC has a bug where it can sometimes THINK it is an NGP.

Therefore, all color carts that go into it, think the system is a b&w NGP and then don't function.

I know how to trigger it but I fixed it by replacing the battery cell.
