Picked up a copy of Micro Machines and gave it a good clean today with isopropryl but sadly it still won't load when I plug it into a Master System. I've gone over the contacts several time and they are practically gleaming but is there anything else I can do?

Which SMS console version do you have?
If I'm not mistaken, you need a later SMS version II console for the Codemasters games.

Mr.Batman has right, Codemasters games work on SMSII consoles, but not on SMSI´s.

Doh! That must be it. I've got an SMS1, looking at the packaging it does say its compatible with that model though but sounds like it just isn't.

I had never heard of games being compatible with SMS 2 only until recently! Why is that? Glad I have both systems.

They updated the graphics chip, fixing a bug and adding some features. Sega never used the extra features (higher resolution video modes) but Codemasters did.

It's annoying because it means it's just sat there staring at me, willing to be played. So I've gone and ordered a switchless 50/60hz console with AV mod to play.

No luck with this sadly. Tried it on a couple of SMS2's and neither recognise it

I think it was a knackered cartridge. Did a trade with flatapex as he needed the box and manual, not sure if he was able to get the cart working!
