Sounds like the "copy protection" chip has died. There is one of these in the base unit and one in each cartridge. If they can't handshake, the one in the base resets the uP about once a second. If it has gone out, you could just disconnect the reset output from the uP. Gosh, then you could even run cartridges without the chip! Should I say EPROM progr_____? Naaaaaah! -- Eric L.
