Problem with Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter
Yceman - May 21, 2003
   Yceman May 21, 2003 
I finally could put my hands in this game and I have a little problem:

I'm using an 4in1 cart and when the game starts I get that traditional Capcom animation and then a black screen with corporate infos in yellow (things like "These characters belong to Marvel etc etc") and after that the game just goes to the cd player screen.

Now, I think I have read somewhere that MSH vs SF is one of the games that require a "new" 4 mb ram cart, that would be found in the 5in1 carts. I think that is the problem, since my cart is very old (its bios says 1997), but I just wanted someone to confirm me that. Also, is that true that these old carts can be fixed with just some soldering? If that's so, can someone point me to a page teaching that?

Thanks

are you sure your cart have RAM at all?

What is the name of your cart?

the only game, I believe, that needed an update to a RAM card was Vampire Savior (or whatever the newest Darkstalkers game was)

Check this site for the 4 in 1 par mod... but just in case make sure your cart has indeed the extra ram 4mb/1mb

Thanks for the link, although it's down at the moment

And I know that my cart has 4mb/1mb because I can play both KoF 97 and X-men vs Street Fighter

oh that's weird.

is this a burned disc or an original?

Do you see any Japanese message with the word "RAM" in it?

If not, then there is a good chance your game is damaged somehow. Maybe it was badly ripped. Or maybe it has so much problems in accessing your cart that the game crashes.

It's a burned game, and I don't see any japanese message with the word "RAM" in it. I only see the Capcom animation and the corporate screen before the game goes to the cd player screen.

Well I'm almost positive it's a bad burn or rip.

Try getting a fresh copy

I'll try that, but I think it'll take a while until I find a new rip

Well, thanks anyway

A useful bit of info can be had at Ncsx.... They also have the modification schematics for older 4in1s.

   Yceman May 22, 2003 
Hey, thanks for that page. It has very well explained images, tomorrow I'll show it to a friend and see if he can do that for me.

And about Marvel vs Street Fighter requiring or not the "update" 4mb I found this FAQ at Emudek:

http://www.emudek.org/saturn/saturn_4_in_1.txt...

It says that both Vampire Savior and MSHvSF require the updated cart

well there ya go

I've played SFZ3 with no cart mod

Maybe your cart is a 'newer' one. *shrug*

Maybe *all* games released after vampire savior... maybe VS was the first one to have probs...

Edit: Just checked some release dates...

X-MEN VS SF - 11/27/1997

Vampire Savior - 4/16/1998

Marvel VS SF - 10/22/1998

Dungeons & Dragons Collection - 3/4/1999

SFZ3 - 8/5/1999

Just some examples...
