Yep, remove those chips above your eprom and then add jumper wires that will reconnect your chip legs to the appropriate pin on the edge connector.  Look for traces that come off your eprom and go up to the chips and don’t have a direct connection going down.  Looks like maybe pin 9 off the eprom?



bulldawg:
Is it because those are sram?
pbj:
You put a non saving game on a saving PCB.  That means when the game is trying to load a certain part of the rom, it’s accessing those save game chips instead.  You need to remove or disable the chips and make a direct connection from the eprom to the edge connector.

Well I had read that the hack had a built-in feature to use SRAM to save the high scores but apparently it's not compatible.

From what I can tell by removing those two chips it doesn't interrupt the path from the eprom to the edge connector. Or I may be misunderstanding.
