Title: Star Fox (Scoop Cart) ? Post by: n64ra on November 11, 2023, 08:48:59 AM Can anyone tell the difference between "Star Fox" and "Star Fox (Scoop Cart)" that are in the DB?
Star Fox - http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-044-S-05250-A Star Fox (Scoop Cart) - http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-044-S-05250-B They have the same UPC so how would I know which one I have? Google wasn't helpful. Thanks Title: Re: Star Fox (Scoop Cart) ? Post by: slackur on November 11, 2023, 01:26:34 PM This one is from before my time on the db, honestly no idea lol.
I'd stick with the normal version, and if we can't get an answer perhaps we can merge the two entries. Title: Re: Star Fox (Scoop Cart) ? Post by: tactical_nuke on November 11, 2023, 09:52:55 PM Different cart shells
Title: Re: Star Fox (Scoop Cart) ? Post by: slackur on November 11, 2023, 10:48:33 PM I think I know now, when the lower part of the middle of SNES carts were changed to circumvent the locking mechanism that originally kept the cart from being able to be pulled out when the system was on?

Title: Re: Star Fox (Scoop Cart) ? Post by: n64ra on November 13, 2023, 05:43:30 PM So do many SNES games have a scoop cart version then, if it was to circumvent the locking mechanism?
Title: Re: Star Fox (Scoop Cart) ? Post by: tactical_nuke on November 14, 2023, 01:15:12 AM The cart design was changed halfway through 1993. Games with print runs before and after this point have notch and scoop variants. They changed it due to people forcibly yanking out the carts and damaging their system doing so. The scoop cart pushes the lock out and simply turns the system off instead of actually locking in. They added a warning sticker under the system power switch after this as well. In practice, the only danger is your save sometimes getting erased so they dropped the pretense with the SNES Jr.
