Snes mini region distinction .

My Snes mini is not working. It gives I've got the cart slot relocated and it's been tested and retested with a multimeter. All I get is a weird white bar on a black screen. I'm thinking that I might have accidentally gotten a PAL. How can I tell the difference between a PAL Snes Mini and an NTCS?

Thank you. That helps more than you think.

There is. But it's not called the same thing. The name escapes me, but it's nothing similar. Something like Super Famicom Junior.

Check your connections. Wiggle the solder joints. Make sure no joints are just pinned on, but are solidly soldered together. Check nothing fell off.

It takes lots of time and boredom, but it doesn't sound like your thing is dead.

I'm 100% sure. I think your thinking of the japanese one. Cause famicom is not logical in europe. (unless it's like 3rd party)

I know this sounds like a very naive question. But can a connection still be bad if there is 0 resistance found between point A and B?

wires always have resistance if it's zero it's likely your multimetre's way of telling infinity. So there prob isn't a connection.

edit: turns out kurt thought japan = pal

I think it's more like the multimeter's way of saying that the resistance is too small to put into a .xxx figure. Ergo, a good connection.

I have just had some really weird problems with this brand spankin' new Snes mini board. When I set the the multimeter to ohmmeter, and set the needles on the + power input contact (the only the DC input is normally soldered to) and ground, the multimeter show me .000 which has normally meant to me (throughout my entire Famigogo project and more) that the connection is flawless. All this could mean to me is that there is a short somewhere, but I just can't find it!

Must be a pirate then.

Even if it is, it's a PAL SNES which is teeny.

I don't think it's really pal. I think it's ntsc. And that because theres no lockout it will work with pal. But the real pal only games don't work on it. (it might have a ntsc-pal converter onboard)
