Title: Zelda Load Screen Glitch
Post by Ben on 06. Jan 2013 at 05:00

I recently got a gold Legend of Zelda cartridge. When i power the nes on with it it boots fine, but when i hit start to enter the load screen this happens.

I dont get a cursor on screen so i cant do anything. What is the problem here?

Corrupt save maybe, you will most likely have to remove and replace the battery in the cart.

I have never seen anything like that, I know people have dead batteries but it never looked like that. I have replaced the batteries in Game boy game before so i know how to do it.

I'm not sure you can know what results to expect with a corrupt save and/or dead battery. My gold Zelda with a dead battery produced different save file results each time I turned it on; I guess it was reading whatever gobbeldygook was left in the memory and it was something different each time.

I don't think they built in a checksum routine, did they?

Thats what I was wondering, if they all react differently. They fixed it in Game boy cartridges.
