Hi all, upon plugging the World Heroes 2 cartridge into the Family Computer I'm greeted with a screen error message and broken mucked up graphics, I'm wondering if this means it's a non-compatible Famicom cartridge and will only work on Chinese Famiclone type systems, I know this sounds petty but this cartridge came with a hefty price tag - if anyone knows about CONY soft cartridges and has had similar experiences with their World Heroes 2 title please fill us in with some info it would very much appreciated.

Thank you all

The error message I'm greeted with is F SCREEN ERROR

Famicoms don't have regions, so any cartridge should work on any console. Try cleaning the connectors and then test your Famicom with a known-good cart.

What's the exact error message you see?

While this seems true in theory, it does not work so in practice.  I have some carts that will not even load a title screen on some Famicoms/clones, but work on other machines. 

This one has two modes:
