Title: World Heroes 2 cartridge by CONY - screen error - any1 know about this plz
Post by: betamaxizhuge on March 18, 2015, 10:26:15 am
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

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:
