An official PowerPak forum for bunnyboy with news/statements would perhaps be a good idea, since he obviously is too busy answering pms/e-mails.

My powerpak arrived last night with the resistor fix applied before it was shipped. Looks like a neat little chip and some of the case was cut away.

So is this resistor a 100% fix or is the gfx bug still visible but less frequent?
Is there any side issues with the resistor fix, i.e. some other issues might appear?
Just want to know if it's worth doing this fix on my cart

I can't say I've been following the bug thread as I hadn't received the cartridge until now. I have a bunch of different NES and clone systems - which should I try it in? What should I be looking for?

Got it, but haven't had a chance to install it yet.
Will post a pic when done.

I installed the resistors myself and haven't had any graphical issues since. Also, I haven't had any other issues arise since the modification.dXtr wrote:So is this resistor a 100% fix or is the gfx bug still visible but less frequent?

Just for the heck of it, can someone open up their cart Bunnyboy sent WITH the resistor pack fix and show some pics?

Here's some pictures of my powerpak with the fix preinstalled before shipping:

I haven't even received my PowerPak for the first time yet... kinda hoping everything is OK. This kind of stuff really does take a long time to arrive here, so I guess I shouldn't worry.
But anyway, since it takes this long for the thing to arrive, I doubt I'll be sending it back for the fix, I'll probably have to do it myself.

I thought mine was taking a long time, too... but then it arrived with the fix already installed. Chances are you won't have to send it back.

Ah.. then I'm hoping this is my case too! =)Hamburgler wrote:I thought mine was taking a long time, too... but then it arrived with the fix already installed.
Yeah, now I remember, bunnyboy said some were shipping already with the fix.

Yeah, my PowerPak arrived. Not at my home, but at the post office, where I'll have to pay more than 50% of the price in taxes to pick it up.
Yeah, my PowerPak will cost me US$227, plus the CF card and card reader (spent about US$45). This final price sucks. Like I'm not already spending too much money on other things I needed this month.
Hell, this price is twice the price of the PP alone... But that's life, life sucks, I'll pick it up when I get the money. It better be fixed already...
