Hi!

I have a discrete famiclone whose CPU and PPU were replaced by original NES ones. It works fine, but it displays jailbars. I've seen the fix to this about wrapping the CPU in copper tape and grounding it, but it just happens I do not have copper tape and for whatever reason, the electronic stpres here do not have it for sale (most don't even know it). My question is if there's any other way to fix this jailbar problem without using this copper tape.

Thanks!

Sounds like you want to cook steak without beef.
I don't buy, sell or trade at moment.
But my question is how hackers at that time were able to hack those games?(c)krzy

Nope, I'm more like trying to cook a steak without a stove. Maybe an oven is an option?

Thanks!

Depending on where the person is, ordering anything through the mail might be a huge gamble. Some areas like most of South America (Brazil especially), eastern Europe and Russia have extremely high mail theft rates, even if the package is insured.
Here are a few games I am looking for right now
Super Puzzle Fighter II X (Sega Saturn)
GeGeGe no Kotarou (Sega Saturn)
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (Sega Saturn)
KiKi KaiKai (PC Engine) (CIB)
Puzzle Bobble (Super Famicom) (CIB)

Exactly. I'm in South America right now. Now, is there any other way to fix this jailbar problem? or should I import copper tape from China?  :o

Thanks!! :)
