    Today I picked up two broken SNES's. Now when I get them home and plug them in and put in a game. Lets say Street Fighter 2 Turbo. The game comes on and I hear and see the capcom logo come up then street fighter intro the name turbo comes across but the game blacks out from there. I can not start the game or play it from that point. The music still plays until the track is up then nothing.

    So I switch games and put in mortal kombat 2 now this game comes up with no problem i select a fighter and then the tower view comes up everything looks messed up here. When i get in to the game it really really lags.

    Things I have tried to get this far. Opening snes cleaning pins making sure nothing is bad. Switching pins from a working snes. Still same problem.

    So it seams to me to be a ram problem anyways of fixing this?

    What makes you think it's a RAM problem? And you have two SNES's with identical malfunctions?

    It's probably making bad connection with the cart...

    One does a little more then the other snes the one just messes up after the turbo screen and the other one messes up after the turbo screen but give the blue background. I have a third snes that does not do any of this so I know its not the game. if its a bad connection with the cart how can I fix this since I think I have tried everything. Why i thought it may of been a ram problem is since in mortal kombat everything lags way behind or in brutal I can get as far as the fighting screen and I cant see any of fighters fighting it just looks dark I really would like to fix this problem any help would be great

    Thoroughly clean that cart port. Wrap a microfibre cloth soaked in isopropyl around a credit card and insert it into the slot.

    Faults on the S-CPU or S-WRAM chips cause all sort of odd problems. Trust me, they happen.

    If you can, get a test cartridge such the Burn-In test or make a repro of the test cartridge rom into a 4Mbit cart to test consoles.

    Super Everdrive + ROM?

    I think the symptoms you explained doesn't guarantee it's a memory issue, annoyingly. Does anybody have any good tests for memory issues, outside of owning a test cart?
