is my Garou fucked?

I have been playing this cart for a while now, and then I decided to put Bust-A-Move in next to it. I might have bumped the Garou cart, but I didn't think so.

when I tried to play it I saw what looked like sprite-problems. It was little lines here and there throughout the levels and with Rock. I tried cleaning it several times, and couldn't seem to fix it.

Is there a chance it's the two carts together? Maybe it's my Bust-A-Move?I've noticed a *LITTLE* of the same with that cart, but it's so minor I didn't even bother with it.

I was under the impression that these carts are pretty hard to kill, but I've cleaned my Garou 4-times now and it always happens. I don't know how the 2-slot's work, so is it possible it's the other cart causing the problem?

Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

Does it still happen when it is the only cart in the system ? I guess that would answer the question of it clashing ?
also have you cleaned the slots in your 2 slot board ? I use an aerosol electrical contact cleaner for this , and it works great.

My guess would be that that slot is really dirty.

Actually, my SDB doesn't work on my friend's 2 slot... even if there is no other cart in the other slot for it to clash (and it doesn't work in either slot). I think some carts are just picky. I bought a one slot, and the game works fine.

I'm not sure if it's the board contacts that are dirty... because then no game would work. That doesn't mean it's not worth a shot though.

I'm assuming you've done the trick where you insert the cart fully, then pull it out a hair's width?
