Lately I've been having issues with saving disks on my Twin Famicom, sometimes I'll get an error 26 and my game won't get saved. In one case I actually lost a save game (!) in Zelda 2 because of an error 26. I've heard this is usually caused by the copy protection kicking in if the disk is even the slightest bit misread.
I'd like to either disable or remove the copy protection ICs on the Twin Fami's power board, but I'm not exactly sure where to start. Here's pictures of the Twin Fami's power board which come from an earlier thread of mine:

Re: Disabling copy protection ICs on Twin Famicom
Depending on the Protection circuit INSIDE the FDS drive itself, you might still not be able to do rewriting. However, here's what worked for me on the power board:
Remove both grey wires going IN and OUT of the power board and connect them to each other. Presto!

I presume you're talking about whether or not the drive has the FD7201 or not?ccovell wrote:Depending on the Protection circuit INSIDE the FDS drive itself, you might still not be able to do rewriting.

My drive has the 7201 so it sounds like this'll work. I'll give it a shot later tonight and report back.ccovell wrote:Yup.
