I have a custom supergun, made by Supergoose79, and a MV-2F mobo. It's connected via a SCART RGB cable to a 29" flatscreen, 4:3 Panasonic Quintrix TV.

My problem is as follows: the picture is great, vibrant colors and no pixellation, BUT, I get some kind of "snow" in the background. I don't know how to describe it very well: it's a kind of grainy, moving pattern resembling snow, sort of behind the picture itself. With my smaller 21" Sony it was not a big deal, but with this bigger screen it really is annoying. Especially because this doesn't happen with my AES home system.

Any clues as to what is causing this and how it could be solved? I would greatly appreciate any help. :help:

You know I actually had this same problem with Dreamcast. It was one of those cheapo imported SCART/AV combo cables. After just living with the fuzzies for awhile I just opened the SCART connector up, thinking loose wire or something, and it was actually that everything was sodered very poorly, so poorly that opening the scart connector actually broke a few wires. Personally I don't have a supergun so I wouldn't know how it connects but my best guess is the SCART cable is to blame.

i didn't even open the scart connector. ... and i doubt that the soldering on the 9 pin d-sub would be that bad.
