Telling apart WWF No Mercy (N64) glitched carts from normal ones.

Is there even a way? If so detailed pictures showing differences between their PCBs would be very nice. I was an early adopter who after several years, got fed up with losing my saved data regularly and sold it. I wouldn't mind trying again sometime. But I want to minimize risk of receiving that same glitch.

Update 7/24/2012: It is -1 added to the front label. We now have a solid picture.

look on the front of the cart

For example Tony Hawk 2 is NUS-NTQE-USA

If it's a second revision it will have a number appended on e.g. NUS-NTQE-USA-1

 

Hm. That could be. Not sure how much of an online community wrestling games have these days. I think I heard PAL copies without blood should be free of the glitch. Hard to say for sure, being I'm in NTSC land.

 

Thanks! Check the first post. I'd added a huge breakthrough and it's exactly as you predicted.

 

Get a hammer, preferable a sledge one. Hit cartridge as hard as you can with said hammer. Find a game that is worth playing.

 

The wrestling and pokemon crazes overlapped in time frame, both impacting me.

 

I was one of the many victims of this glitch. In my childhood I owned two copies and both were glitched carts. I used to love creating characters and playing the career mode (or whatever it was called, I forget), but powering the game on always felt nerve racking. Sometimes I would be lucky and find that my data would still be intact, but I knew eventually it would disappear and I'd have to start all over again.

 

The Best wrestling game ever made... Not worth playing? Cover up your bias is showing

 

Just a few days ago I finished reading The Rock Says book. <_<

 

That is not really too much of a boast now, is it.

That is a bit like saying George Bush Jr was the most human looking of all the monkey faced presidents or the McDonalds hamburger is the most healthy of all the McDonalds meat like products in a bun.

 

Stop being so biased, unless you have something good to say about Fire Pro

 

I like the Giant Gram wrestling games , the N64 wrestling games and the smackdown games very rarely do i like any other wrestling games i feel that game that came out not long ago WWE all stars sucks i played the demo and did not like the gameplay it was missing something so i ignored that game and will continue to do so xD

 

No mercy is a very good game. Same goes for Wrestlemania 2000. You're thinking of the shit Acclaim put out like WWF Warzone, Attitude wasn't too bad.

 

I think he's just biased against the Genre in general.

 

Wrestling games are not everyone's type of genre, the only one I like is Rumble Roses :>

 

Rumble Roses is a good game The DOA of Wrestling games

 

The point was determining this game edition was manufactured. Not its quality.
