The physical PAL cart unfortunately freezes on my NESRGB modded PAL Frontloader. Anyone else having problems?

(4 edits)

The game should work fine on all normal, official PAL/NTSC revisions of the NES, we made sure to test it thoroughly on all of them.

Quick troubleshooting:

(1) Please make sure all console contacts of the cartridge slot are clean and unbent.

(2) Please make sure that the cartridge is running in the correct PAL/NTSC mode. You can adjust the mode by pressing reset quickly five times while the console is turned on with the cartridge inserted.

If neither of that is the issue, could you email our support with a detailed report when and how the freeze occurs and what exact mod has been applied to your console?

Since it is a modded console, we unfortunately cannot promise the fuctionality, but we can look into the issue with our manufacturer if we get more details and maybe solve it. Same goes for clone and emulation consoles.

Thanks for your very quick reply.

As all other games run flawless, the pins should not be at fault.

I tried pressing reset 5 times, but unfortunately this was no

solution.

I contacted your support via eMail.

Thanks! And by the way, the quality of the physical release is outstanding.

Sadly no feedback from your support. 

According to Tim Worthington (creator of NESRGB), it is likely that the cart is not compatible with the very stable and powerful 5V levels that the modded NES is providing, as the components in the cart seem to be 3.3V parts.

Please get in touch

Thanks

I have forwarded this message to our support, it is strange that you have no reply yet. The voltage definitely isn't a problem, there is a voltage level translation on the PCB to make the used parts compatible with the console hardware.
