    This is a tough one, all I can suggest is check for shorts and continuity. Trace where from each of the 44 pins of the mask rom go to the SA1 chip
    The other thing to check is, whether the voltage regulator is working

    What console are you playing it in? Mario RPG is very fussy with working with modded consoles unless you use a SuperCIC PIC installed in the SNES. If you have a PAL snes you will need to mode the cart to play on a Pal system.
    Have a look at the following

    If you're wanting to play it on Super Famicom, try looking for the Korea release. It is in English.

    I'm surprised, but there's actually one on eBay right now (Korean SFC carts seem so rare, they must be made mostly from unobtanium...). We're looking at $60 + shipping, which is roughly what a premade repro would cost you. And the latter doesn't have a badly torn up label...

    Just seen your pictures. Add a 100nf capacitor across gnd and 3.3v output should get you going.
