Try copying one of the problematic ROMS (clean dump version from goodsnes set though) to a floppy within Windows 95 or Windows 98 and load it in the copier and see if it works then. That is what I had to do with my SWC DX and with my friend's SWC DX to get games to work. Otherwise they worked fine through parallel port.
Technical - The Windows NT kernel (used in Windows NT/2k/XP/7/8/8.1) takes full control of the floppy drive from the system so it can cause problems with legacy devices. These video game backup devices were designed primarily compatibility to MS-DOS based computers and as such, Windows 9x kernel runs on top of MS-DOS 7 so DOS still controls the floppy, not the kernel of the GUI.

thanks for your hints. However the graphicel glitches also occur when I play a game on cartridge. Therefore it's not a problem with the roms nor with the RAM. It seems to be a connection issue. |

That could be. Maybe it needs some contact cleaner and one of those snes cartridge cleaners run through it a few times. I had a problem with a pro fighter x I bought from tomy's friend's site and replaced the edge connector and it actually turned out to be that the bios chip had fingerprints all over it. I cleaned them off and it works fine now. Except I wasn't having glitches in games though.

Cleaning the contacts of the edge connector didn't help, so I've dropped the price. I don't have enough time to investigate the problem.
btw, I can ship the unit cheaper without the floppy disk drive. |
