Thanks for that. I just discovered something screwed up about this thing. If you don't press start before the first line of text is read in the opening the whole cart freezes. It works perfectly fine though if you do. I already cleaned the contacts when I first had it apart. So it's not that.
And the list goes on. I just found out if you don't skip the scene after you win a fight and go to the next the game freezes too. I sort of hate to send this thing back to China because it was so damn cheap and it'd take forever to get a refund. Not sure what to do at this point. Thanks for the help again. Hopefully someone has an idea what the hell is going on here.
Yeah. I'll probably start by reflowing the solder joints and go from there. By the way, the last chip does have a jumper wire on it. You can't see it in the picture though. The scans of the board show a black wire jumping pins on the last chip. Thanks again for the help everyone. I will be back after a couple hours and a few beers.
Yeah. It's not fun.
Quick update. I got distracted and haven't reflowed the solder yet. I did run a CRC check in Unibios and it failed all across the board.
Edit: Reflowed solder on the four chips and not a damn thing has changed.
Edit2: Reflowed whole top board and not a damn thing changed.
Edit3: I think this thing is roached. Any ideas about where to go from here? Maybe I should make a separate thread so I'm not filling this one up with my problems.
Here's all the info from the recent purchases thread. Basically the game freezes at every cut scene. If you skip them all the cart works perfectly fine when actually playing. Where should I take this from here? Thanks again for everything. The help is greatly appreciated.
