Only other thing that could cause the problem is a lifted pin on the pro-B0/B1 or bad trace to it.
I've been having this same problem for years but only with 2 games: Blue's Journey and Spinmaster. I get weird vertical lines, usually black, to the left of certain sprites. Both carts are squeaky clean and so is my cart slot, but to rule out dirt/oxidation I purchased some Deoxit and cleaned both carts and the cart slot. The problem still persists. I haven't tried opening the console yet, but I'm wondering if a cap replacement is in order. Anyone have thoughts on what's going on here, and do AES's need their caps changed like Duos and others? Are the carts perhaps just fried? I certainly would appreciate any help and info.

ok, here are some photos of what I'm talking about. It's actually hard to capture a still image of this problem because the little dots that create these vertical lines are always flashing, creating a flickering effect. here are some pics:
Crossed Swords has a similar problem but the flashing dots are spread out over enemies when they're in the background. It may be hard to tell from the pic, but they're all over these "gobrins."
So if anyone has any info or advice about this problem, PLEASE let me know.
Again, these glitches are much more annoying than they may look from the pics due to the flickering.
If it only does it with those two carts, it's most likely a bad contact/trace. Not all games use the same pins on the cart.
This may be of interest for you, my ladies.
Ignore the voltage on my supergun, just look at the voltmeter to the right.
Hope this helps.
