[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC Engine Duo - Super System BIOS problem]

Okay, so i found the problem immediately. Pin 1 on the connector has 5v running on it  . The traces seem fine, so why is 5v running on Pin 1? That pin is Card Detect. I think when i checked the pin connector originally, i checked it with power off

I checked the underside of the console and I got nothing. The traces aren't broken for the HuCard slot. Nor do i see any broken traces anywhere on the board. Testing continuity for the underside, connections are solid. So I am convinced it is either bad RAM or a bad BIOS.the BIOS part will be next to impossible to replace without sacking an original Super System Card

I do not own a Super System Card sadly, and this was from gamedoctorHK.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Splatterhouse PCE - The Cleaver]

Alright, so lately I have been playing alot of Splatterhouse on my PC Engine, and one thing that sticks out to me is that in the beginning of the first two levels, you get a 2x4 instead of the cleaver like in the arcade. I have heard someone say it's probably due to hardware limitations, but then I saw a hack where they implemented the cleaver in Stage 1, and the monsters actually get decapitated when you hit them with it. So was it actually censorship from NEC's part, or did someone just hack in new sprites with the cleaver replacement?
