Brazilian Snoopy Cart-Broken? Not in DP guide.

[rbudrick]

Hi Folks,

I got a hold of a Snoopy and the Red Baron cart that is a Brazilian release by a company called Canal E (the E is backwards). Anyway, the cart didn't work, so I was like, WTF? Thae game or company is not in the DP guide as far as I can tell. The label looks the same mostly as the Atari version only it's like the blue inks were removed from the printed label leaving a pinkish label with a yellow sky behind snoopy.

I opened it up, and it was a hand-soldered board with an EPROM!

Frikkin weird. Anyway, any experts out there that might be able to fix and/or dump this cart? Of course, I'd pay for the service.

Thanks so much folks! And if this is in the wrong forum, let me know. It was the most fitting one as far as I could see.

Yours,
Rob

a BIG PICTURE always help you know :D

There are a TON of "Canal 3" cartridges out there. This is the same company that produced what is essentially a Supercharger (or a Cuttle Cart), and most of their games are on cassette.

We have Snoopy and the Red Baron in the DP Guide by Canal 3 but only the cassette. Haven't seen the cartridge surface until now. It's the same game as the Atari release (the dozens of Canal 3 games already documented produce no "unique" games).

Hope this helps!

Hi Folks,

Some reason I couldn't find Canal 3 (I still thing it looks like a backwards E, heh heh).

Anyway,
I'd post a pic, but I don't have a website to host it on to attach it to the post (wish we could attach pics like emails here).

Also, I know it's prob the same as the released version, but I would still like to fix the cart. If it can be dumped, that would eliminate a faulty Eprom.

Also, most carts that are licensed and/or pirated have a slight variation in the logo of the company on the title screen, so I guess it would probably be a *little* different. :-)

Anybody have the tech skills to attempt a fix?

Thanks so much!
Yours,
Rob
