Sure thing. I'll PM you my address and cover the shipping costs if necessary. It would be nice if I could fix up Dragon Quest V, but I hear that my Game Doctor will allow me to bypass the lockout chip for now so that I can dump it and patch it with an English translation, so it's less of a big deal ...

Let me know if bumping isn't allowed (I can't see anything that says it isn't), but I have a bit of an update to post. I tried soldering the new CIC to the DQV board. I think I burnt my finger just from the heat of my soldering iron. For some reason, every soldering iron I buy is crap. I'll have to ...

You mean why pull apart Barkley's Shut Up and Jam to fix DQV as opposed to putting a SuperCIC in it instead? Well, it's quicker that way. I don't like the Barkley game, and it's barely worth anything on the second-hand market, so I was happy to pull it apart.

Although, if you could send me a pre-programmed PIC for my switchless SNES mod, now THAT would be really helpful. I think mmmonkey's code looks sufficient. Is there any chance that you or someone ...

Thanks for the reply. That's very helpful information. Yeah, I could do that, but unfortunately, I don't have a PIC programmer. I don't do enough modding to warrant buying one. The only time I've needed one so far was for my switchless Saturn mod, and I got someone to do that for me instead. But I'l...

I've seen this covered before here , but I wanted to get some more specific details. Let me explain my situation. I got a dirt-cheap and very good condition copy of Dragon Quest V for Super Famicom. I put it in my PAL Super Nintendo, and it obviously didn't work (I knew that, but I was under the imp...
