    So I have a copy of the Looney Tunes Twoble that is detected but won't boot. There was a funky looking trace somewhere connected to pin 23 but I can't find it anymore . It would help if I could find a schematic for it but I am not having any luck any ideas?

    You just have to heat the pins. I had the same problem with mario dx (ROM) and donkey kong (mapper + rom).
