I sold a mint and working copy of Samurai Spirits Zero Special JPN fixed version a while ago. It was working when it left my hands. However, the buyer told me that he is experiencing problem with it. This is what he said:
"here's what happens - when you insert the cartridge and turn the Neo Geo on, it doesn't take long for the game to automatically reset by itself.
I have collected many many Neo Geo games over the years and have never ever experienced this kind of a problem with a game before.
The time window in which the game resets seems to have a semi-random quality to it: the furthest I have gotten without the game resetting is during the intro sequence right after the narrator has spoken his lines and the first boss character art appears, that's when the game always resets at the latest.
Unfortunately this renders the game unplayable, even if you manage to start the game and start playing it, it's only a matter of time until it resets.
The problem - I can only imagine - is either in the connector pins or the chips inside the cartridge, but whatever is causing this, I cannot repair it."
I have never encountered such problem and I don't know how to fix it. Any help or advise is appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance!
