You may want to investigate that, because when my bad cables make bad boots they resemble yours.

Weird, I thought the bleep bloop carts just used philip's head screws.

Anyway, I guess step one now is just opening it and busting out your magnifier to look for any obvious damage, bad connections, or missing components.

someone correct me if I am wrong but isn't the damage physical and will require smt soldering?

Nuclace... was this a working cart? or did you just purchase it from Kitsch?

Bought it from Kitsch,

I'm just seeing what you guys might think is wrong with it so I can fix it,

I don't know how to troubleshoot these things.


The other one I got that's glitching is WAY worse, it's just giving me 2 huge lines so I figured it's probably a lost cause, I just figured this one may be a simple fix since it's bringing the logo on the screen.

Make sure that the cart is seated properly.

If all else fails... maybe try reflashing it like Telerophon suggested

Yeah my other carts work just fine.

Now the the picket fence is gone, but the registered logo is still there.


EDIT:
Anybody got any tips on how to open on of these without the security bit?

It could also be the contacts inside the game boy, but if other carts/games work, probably not.

You're either getting a bad connection, or the ROM is corrupted somehow, in which case you will just have to reflash the cartridge and see if that works. I corrupted my ROM once by trying to run the PROM-only PIXELH8 programs off of my EMS carts. hmm

Anyway, clean it again and reinsert it a few times to see if that gets a better connection.
