i bought a bubble bobble pirate cartridge on ebay, and this is what appears when plugged in

the cartridge looks mostly like this one
(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/FJkAAOxyRhBSua7~/$_57.JPG)
and has a very thin board with a glob on it.
i've cleaned it and the cartridge slot a few times,so that's not the issue
is there a way to repair epoxy glob boards?
or is this maybe just a game that will only run properly on a clone system?
Are you using original hardware or a clone system? I found that only certain pirates work on clone systems.
Maybe this'll help:

Thanks.
edit:: with a priceless help from dic-sc7 we've been able not only to verify that those multicarts can be run only on NOAC's (glob-topped famiclones as well), but also, what is most important, that they can be easily modified to be perfectly working on real (FC/NES and other good, IC-based famiclones, extensive tests have been made in this field, even my Twin "The Beast" Famicom ate it) hardware :pow:
All you need to do is simply desolder OE pin from CHR-RAM and solder it to unused CHR/RD pin 17.

MOREOVER, on top of that, such fixed multicarts are still fully functional on those shitty clones and NOACs - that's freaking epic! :crazy:
