LT Super ROM ROM Modds
« on: March 31, 2018, 04:43:39 AM »
Hoping to get my LT working on a Super CD Rom 2 Interface Unit with out having to shell out my savings for the ludicrously expensive RomRom adapter. 

  I noticed that the LT actually fits with out the Adapter, but doesn't turn on when the suitcase is turned on.   I'm wondering, it seems like the pins on the LT are deep enough to make a connection to the suitcase, but maybe the LT power pin is different than other systems?

  I'm trying to figure out what exactly the ROMROM adapter does, and if it's worthy to try a work around for this by adding an internal mod to the suitcase, to enable the Power on the LT.

If you just want to play CD games on the LT and would like to avoid altering your hardware, you could just get a Super SD System 3.

 I'm aware of that mod, but was hoping I don't need another system.  It seems off that the LT fits in to the interface unit, but doesn't work.. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the RomRom actually does as an adapter.. does it reroute the LT to gain power only, or a whole bunch of lines need to be re-configured?

It doesn't do anything other than make it connect correctly. You can also use an RAU-30.

Hopefully you won't permanently deface any hardware with a mod like this:

  Seen that mod, lol.. it works but savage cost for a mod.. seems to me that the LT fits fine in to the IFUnit, the pins certainly have the depth to make a connection to the IFunit, as far as I can tell.  If I find out any other methods I'll be sure to share.  Thanks

Doesn't the LT work with the IFU straight out of the box?
