alrigt i got a pal aes here and it won't play any games that aren't pal. i tested an ss2 jap on it and i got a scrambled picture that looks like the smow you get on your tv when you turn off a genesis. but colored and then a few white bars shoot across the screen and by then i turn the thing off. i have it set up on a pal power conversion box. and it plays my ffs and pro masters golf just fine. i don't know whats wrong i don't think it's an over heating circuit board the system stays pretty cool all of the time. does anyone know what's wrong with it? and if noone here knows where can i send it to get this thing fixed?

the cart is dirty man :) use proper cleaning on it, gently take a pencil eraser and run it along the carts teeth, you'll see some black gunk appear, then use a q-tip to brush that eraser stuff off and your as good as gold :)

mmm, nice!

What kinda video lead u using - RGB, S-vid, composite, rf?

OK, if you're in the US, send it to Jeff Kurtz - he knows his stuff! In Europe, you can send it to me.

If you can, try the "foreign" games in another unit first! and maybe a different TV.

bump. the game is still messing up and now top plaers golf is as well. does anyone know what i can do, anything i can do with the games or the system? ffs is the only game that works perfectly on it. everything else is like a dirty nintendo game, but i cleaned both of the games.

mmm, nice!

3 miles - that all? I know of one about 50 miles, and that's pretty far for England!

Check the other post for Jeff's contact details - the one with his name in the title! Was above this b4 i posted ;)

oh that's okay. i'm now going to undertake the process of converting it to ntsc. if you have any pictures of what the video crystal that i'm supposed to replace looks like, or a decent description would be useful. or what the jumper i'm suppoed to remove near the CXA1145 chip looks like, i could use that info too.

For some pics check <a href="http://www.gamesx.com." target="_blank">www.gamesx.com.</a> also check nick the fury's site

err, a jumper is a link... have any wire? ;)

the crystal comes from somewhere like MCM, its an NTSC crystal oscillator.

BTW, the RF does indeed make a difference. That unit is tuned to PAL, you'd need a NTSC one (or it could be you're using an NTSC one on a PAL console). Use composite, or get it S-vid modded ;)
