Disabling SA-1 Lockout Chip inside the Cartridge?

[Naudiz]

I just received my retrode a few days ago, and I'm already loving it

I read about compatibility issues with SA-1 games like Super Mario RPG. My idea about this topic was: Has anybody tried (or would be willing to try) tho disable the SA-1 inside the cartridge, as described in this short manual?

Maybe this way SA-1 games could work on a retrode?

I doubt it will work. The data still needs to pass through the SA-1, which requires 2 additional clock signals on the cartridge port. The Retrode doesn't provide these clocks.

Maybe I will get my hands on a copy of Mario RPG soon, then I can try

I have a copy of SMRPG, and let me tell you I've tried quite a bit. I wish you the best of luck!
