Unused levels in Panda Prince

[MWK]

I'm sorry for diggin this up, but I wasn't exactly sure where it'd be the most suitable to ask while not creating a separate thread.

I've recently picked up 2 (two) "Panda Prince" cartridges with identical PCB's (NT-858/A9712) and unfortunately I can't get them to work on ANY kind of hardware I have (Twin Famicom, Pegasus famiclone, Ken-Kid Famiclone, Entertainment Computer System NESclone, First Austria NOAC and a shitty PolyStation NOAC famiclone). All I got is a blank screen... Believe me, I've tried EVERYTHING. PCB's looks intact, pins have been cleaned, all lines are fine, what is going on then? Do you have any ideas?

Spoiler: click to toggle

Is it possible that they both are dead? Isn't that just too much of a coincidently bad karma?  :'(

Now I want to go back a little for the Chinese version of The Panda Prince. Maybe yet he released this version? :O I've found this to rom a GoodNES v3.23b collection.

I'm not sure if the currently available Chinese ROM was even dumped from a Chinese cart - the Chinese version is already present inside the English ROM, you only need to change one byte to enable it, so it might just have been hacked from that..

Or the creators just made Panda Prince in Chinese, so they can before, translate to english, and after that, enable the chinese mode, so they can resell the same game to china.
That's my theory.
