Super Famicom Problems

[caddisls]

Hi All, I have been on the site a few times but never posted. Anyways, I just picked up a super famicom and am having some issues with it. I have two games: Link to the Past and GP-1. Both games work fine in my FC Twin so I can rule them out as the problem. GP-1 does nothing in SF, just a black screen. Link to the past loads up intermittently and goes to the menu. If I try to start a new game or load a previous game it bring me to a black screen with the music from Kakariko Village playing. I am using the composite cables from a N64. For power I have tried a generic ac adapter with the same specs as oem SF adapter. I have also tried a first gen Genesis adapter, both do the same thing. I am guessing that the game socket needs to be replaced. Does anyone have any other ideas, or has anyone replaced the socket in one of these?

Thanks

I'd try cleaning the cartridge socket first, but there are at least two kinds, one that solders in and another that plugs in and screws down on the board. I'm assuming the plug in cartridge slot is in newer versions, if yours has that it's pretty simple to swap out if you have a console bit and can remember where screws go.

contacts probably need cleaned. take some very fine sand paper, fold it double, soak it in a little rubbing alcohol (not too long, just like 15 seconds, then shake it off) and use that to push between the contacts to clean them. Then let it dry for at least half an hour to test it out.

Are these SFC carts or SNES carts you're trying?

If they are SNES carts, what sort of adapter are you using to fit them into the SFC? Maybe that could be at fault.
