i have a suitable adapter i'm positive of that. during a game, i can't even seem to get out of the game into the wild card menu. i've been trying to play dragonball z hyper dimension which i know has some form of graphics chip but should that affect playing a cartridge in the wild card port? everything through floppy so far works fine but this cartridge port is really scaring me man.
thanks for helping though, much appreciated.
