That screen is all i get.
This is a dump of a friends cart btw. It's not mine.
This probably works only with a PC link (LPT port or some ISA card, think Saturn Action Replay) and special software and allows you to show GFX done on PC on SNES+TV

My mate has some available. I'll ask him for them.

Right, have taken some myself.
Forgot to mention that the game PCB connector is too thick for the cartridge connector on a PAL SNES, so it cannot be used directly in the machine.

Without knowing anything else, that would be my thought too.
By the way, Gremlin Graphics developed the following SNES titles:
Newman/Haas IndyCar featuring Nigel Mansell
Nigel Mansell's World Championship
Top Gear
Top Gear 2
Top Gear 3000
Utopia: The Creation of a Nation
Zool
Of the games listed, only Top Gear was published prior to 1993, so the others could have had this utility used during their development. astaroth, it would be very neat to know where your friend obtained this tool, and does he have any software that goes along with it?
