32X has wavy video

[David J.]

My 32X has some wavy video and it's very annoying. If I play a Genesis game, shit it's fine. But when I play a 32X game it goes to shit.

It is wavy, if I play in composite, or component, and maybe RF too, but I'm not about to kill my self lugging out a '27 TV to kill myself. so it isn't my video cables.

Those damn plates barely do a thing. This happens with a Genesis 1 and a Genesis 2.

you're problem may be related to the other posters problem on the thread right under yours...

i have a odd feeling why this is happening so suddenly..

but from what i am gathering right now: the overlay circuits are dying... (don't take this as fact just yet, i don't have this problem and can't diagnose it)

I did some cleaning... you know those damn ribbon cables, the damn cart slot... EVERYTHING, and it helped a little bit.

Try putting MONSTER® ribbon cables in your 32X. :)

I spent $2.64 on a 24oz Monster Khaos the other day... worth every penny.

[Joe Redifer]

I don't know what that is.

[David J.]

Its an energy drink.

When my Genesis was missing it's shield plates, 32X output was wavy as all hell. But when placed on my CDX, it was fine.

I have my system placed near a heat register, so hmmm...

I have a similar problem in Alien Soldier. When at full health, the enemy and weapon meter is wavy :?.
