Valkyrie no densetsu glitch

[wildfruit]

using a 6-button pad?

no. Using a regular pad. I'm stumped.

Thickening the card marginally with a strip of clear tape didn't work ?

Fraid not

This may be out of left field, but if you already consider it a goner I suppose it wont hurt to try, but I've had success with other devices putting them in the oven long enough that the solder melts and then reseats itself, allowing the rom to sink better into the pcb. There are a lot of resources about baking boards out there, drop it in a toaster what's the worst that could happen?

I believe one of the smart guys around here (oldman or steve maybe?) said that won't help because there's no solder to melt.

Makes sense, I've never opened a turbochip so I don't know how the inner workings are. I figured it was like a tiny cart inside, pcb with a rom on it. Sorry, hope you didn't bake it to no avail

I still think it's a weak contact on one of the card-edge pads.
Have you tried it in a different machine ?

No baking has been done this day.

I'm afraid I don't know anyone else with NEC hardware.

Simple. Buy another PCE (preferably a model you don't have).

I shall remedy this by the end of the year. I need to break into CDs so leaning towards a duo.

Here's a new one to try:
Put a small strip of scotch tape on the back side of the card, along the edge which inserts into the slot.

Wouldn't they also have trouble with other games if a pin was off? Maybe easier to put a straight edge on the card contacts to check for level? Never tried this, just my 2cents.

I've been in need of additional hardware for sometime this has given me the push I needed. Currently selling of some of my less favourite Dreamcast games to fund some NEC cd goodness. Got my eye on a nice briefcase.

Yeah, I have a problem where I like using all the different hardware...even though I really do not need to have so many variations. BUT IT IS FUN.

I think I am going to pull out my TG-16 + Booster later and play some...I don't know. Time Cruise?

UPDATE
just tried this on my new PCE I just got and it works perfectly fine.
I like it. Big sprites.
