Zombies ate my portable

[Goldstubble]

I was testing compatibility on my yet unfinished portable after my cart slot relocation and have found that Zombies Ate My Neighbors won't even start!
Has anyone tested this game on a snes mini? All my other games work properly, so why wouldn't this one?

I am so depressed, ZAMN is one of my favorite games ever...

Maybe the wires are too long? Maybe they're too small of a gauge?

Did the game work before? Are the contacts nice and clean?

Maybe there are one or 2 contacts that are switched that only ZAMN used, ones that none of your other games did.

Each of the wires are about 6-7" long (just long enough to twist the connector around and through the back of the portable) and 22 gauge threaded. I know someone used 22 for a cart slot before.

The game still works on my fc twin so I don't think it's the game itself.

Maybe there are one or 2 contacts that are switched that only ZAMN used, ones that none of your other games did.

This is probably most likely. Either that or there are a couple of bad solder joints. I guess I'll just check 'em all.

Thanks, guys.

Those are pretty long wires.

They are kinda long but they serve their purpose. Definitely not the problem.

Never say "definitely". Ive had problems like that in the past. 5" wires didnt work, 4" did.

i used 7 inch long 30 gauge wires on my snesp and it worked fine...
