A Couple of SNES Tips, Game Gear fixes and new links

Looking for an easy way to remove the CIC chip from your SNES? Or how to remove the Power LED?

These tips are in preparation for the SuperCIC guide.

Also today, I have added a few links to a group of sites I stumbled across, I was looking for a replacement screen panel for my GBC and found a site with. The part that got my attention was the Game Gear fix kits that are sold.

I have just completed and photographed ikari_01's SuperCIC SNES mod. It's the ultimate switchless mod for your SNES, just tried a SFC SA-1 chip cart (Kirby 3) on a PAL SNES with this mod and it works!! Previously this game would only work on my SFC console with the lockout chip enabled.

Guide to follow soon, but don't forget there is already a great guide at wolfsoft :)

GBC Mod

I keep seeing this on NTSC-uk, and couldn't resist. Just waiting for a GBA to arrive from eBay, and then I'm modding the lime green GBC I picked up - also on eBay! (need more local shops doing retro around here)

Here's the excellent tutorial I'm going to follow.

emails

A long time ago I got fed up with receiving spam through my site, so I had to shut off the publish email address.

Now if you email web@mmmonkey.co.uk the undeliverable message will contain an alternative email address to contact me.

Thanks

New SNES Mods

I'm really looking to trying these out! Thanks to a Klaus and Link83 for pointing them out to me. The work is by a GENIUS called ikari_01, I have to contact him to get permission to host the files on my site once I finish the guides. Hopefully he will agree.

First off, it's the replacement lockout chip for the Super Nintendo/Super Famicom. Further details here.

ikari_01 didn't finish there though, he went on and developed it further and incorporate the 50/60hz mod!!! The Ultimate Switchless SNES mod. This sounds brilliant. His post starts here about it, and you can see Klaus guide here.

Thanks guys for the heads up.

To make some of my guides a bit easier to follow/shorter, I'm starting a page of tips I follow, I don't have photo's yet but the first one is virtually complete. How to remove a chip such as the SNES lockout chip.

Thanks

Pete
