I enjoyed that. I mean, it really won't tell anyone from this forum much, but it was fun to watch, and I gotta ask, what's up with your camera?

Nice. Maybe I can post a video about "1001 ways to fry your Yobo" seeing as how I have now officially fried 2 of them in my quest to make a portable NES.

oh, that's just because A) I use it for filming skateboarding and didn't take it off and B) since it was all close shots its good to have that extra wide angle, it would've been tough with the standard lense.

In a related matter, thanks for the appreciation, nesforums.com just gave me crap because they are all hardass about only using real Nintendo products. I don't even want to think what NesDev would say about it, you mention Yobo and they want to hang you from a tree.

true, it was really meant for people that wander into a video game store and go "WTF is a Yobo?" and go online looking for answers. But, I figured since you guys deal with these things all the time you might wanna watch it anyway.

OP - I bet you got the FC Twin incompatibility list from Wikipedia, huh?

Just to let you know, you shouldn't take their word for it. I've got BatterUp and Mario RPG working just fine on my Twin - sometimes people just don't clean off the old pin connections on their carts, or something like that.

Nice vids btw.

That happens to me with my SNES.

could be dead batteries in the cartridge perhaps...also, supposedly these games can lose saves if you don't shutoff the console properly or some such (for instance, NES games recommend you hold reset when turning off the game).

good to know, I'll add that in my video info, thats why I left that provision in the video right before the credits, hopefully people will check. I also just found out TMNT III works at least on the FC Twin, and it was dirty as hell, I'm going to test it on my own regular FC tonight after I clean it. The incompatibility list just keeps getting shorter and shorter

Yea, it works fine. Looks like you need to change a battery.

speaking of that, has anyone done an SNES battery change how to with pictures? I searched a while back out of curiousity and all the ones I found were text-only. Also, I've heard you can either solder in a new tabbed battery or electrical tape in a regular battery (safer and easier, but maybe less reliable). Here's an opportunity for someone itching to make a writeup and not having any ideas
