Holy Diver Famicom Nes adapter help?

[honkbahh]

Howdy! I bought holy diver for famicom on eBay, and when you die the screen goes to the normal black screen indicating 2 lives remaining, but the level never restarts. I tried the game on my nes with a hyperkin adapter and a gyromite adapter, and both produced the same problem.
Since I don't have a famicom to test the game on, is anyone willing to try their copy of holy diver in their nes with an adapter, die, and see what happens? That way I know if the game is busted, or if it just doesn't play well with adapters.
Also, I tried using my everdrive and the game functioned without issue.
Thanks!

This shouldn't happen normally. I've tested various Holy Divers on a PAL NES (I dont have a NTSC NES) and they all worked fine.

Any pictures of the game or even the board, if you can open Famicom games?

If not, try contact the seller.

Thanks for the reply! I didn't want to open the game as I was afraid of breaking it. After lots of pleading and some negative feedback the seller said he'd take a return and test the game again. I'm still expecting it to get weird though.

The game looked very well taken care of. I've never experienced that type of issue on any game. At first I thought it could be a weird top loader issue with the adapter, but I had the same problem with my first model nes too.
