Alright I'll contact my friend who has a SNES and get him to do some tests.

Tried some other areas but the menu's are still corrupt while everything else in the game is fine. I think it does have something to do with stacking them because I have the exact same problem with final fantasy 6 except it's when a battle happens and it's got the same damaged areas as CT. Guess i'm screwed which is a shame because these are some really fun games and i go to them whenever times are rough.

EDIT: Tried disconnecting the battery that didn't work so yeah
So fixing up one of the traces caused an improvement? If that's so, then perhaps you just have another damaged trace related to another pin. Which pin was involved in the solder to fix the trace?

I think by "... and I bridged the gap on one trace with solder and tested with a multimeter and it worked ..." he means he did a continuity test with the multimetre and it passed, but the corruption was still there.

Here's my idea:

Check with Your multimeter if every corresponding pin on the MASKROM is making contact with right pads on the edge connector.

(Chrono Triger is HiROM, right?)
