o.k. so i had this excitebike bike in my pc forever i came across a guy on ebay that sold roms for peticular pcb's to convert them to other games i wanted donkey kong and it was compatible with my excite bike cart. i played dk until i was bored with it and then wanted to play excite bike again so i put the original roms back in but it acted all stupid and garbled up,i pulled the board out and have not tried to re-install it no bullsh@t it is a major pain in the ass for me to pull my board from my pc i live in an apartment and its in my living room with my rc plane hanging above it so i only pull it out if there is a problem or im installing/making a trade i may have installed the original roms wrong i dont know im kinda new to this hobby havent tried to put the dk roms back in to check it anyways i want to trade/sell the excite bike cart and the dk roms for another game.if anyone is intrested let me know.

thanks
roy

panther777 is the guy (i can tell from the lables)

you may have bent the legs on your eproms when trying to reinsert the chips or didnt get all the legs inserted all the way


its rare that a pc 10 cart shoots craps(esp one of the type 1 carts) tho i did just come across one today

you may want to double check thes things before resorting to selling your cart
 
I can't really tell from the photos, but are they all oriented correctly? It looks like the notch on one EPROM is pointing in a different direction from the others.

From this source:

It looks like all 3 chips should be oriented the same. If you reverse a chip, you swap the Vcc and ground pins and can fry a chip.
