Hi, maybe I'm stupid? or very unlucky... I have a new Powerpak (and NES, yay!, ..) [Rom 1.12 card 1.34].. I'm able to run most ROMs I've tried, however, most of them do not react to the controller (ie I can't push start to play)
Works: Circus Charlie
Does not work: NTRQ
Halp? 
RESOLVED: Using P2 input on NES now, seems happy.

Try a different controller. It's probably an issue with that.

yeah, update the powerpak files and try a different controller.
This sounds like it's not a problem with your cartridge, but with the controller or NES. Do you have any non-powerpak carts you can try? Also, I have no idea why Circus Charlie would work and NTRQ not work. Even if your cartridge is defective. I just don't know how that would possibly happen. Unless it's a fluke, or your NES is defective.

Hmmm drat. I've updated the files on the PowerPak with the latest available from the web already. I don't have any other cartridges, or a spare controller. Can try get my hands on such stuff though it's going to be a small ordeal since the NES never really existed in my part of the world much.
Woot, I got it working. Using the 2P input instead of 1P, seems works fine. 
Very very strange. Well, if it works then no complaints, eh?
Maybe your 1P and 2P controller inputs were switched? That would explain not being able to use NTRQ but still being able to start a game of CC.

This actually would make sense, since CC is odd and can start from either controller.
