Hey all,

I bought my cab like this, and now that my collection is growing, it would be nice to be able to use all 4 slots on my machine.
Whenever a game is loaded into the 3rd slot of the cab, it will load up with really glitched out graphics like so.

The audio will work perfectly, it just seems to be this. Sometimes, whenever you will try to switch to it it may just reboot the machine.

I've done the usual cleaning of the contacts with some isopropyl alcohol, but that doesn't seem to have done much.

Everything else works perfectly on my machine, so I would love to get this running, and appreciate any help! :mr_t:

Hi

I got a couple of ideas:

1. Check the slots in the third position. Maybe one of the contacts got bent and is not making correct contact with the cart. Take picture and post it here if unsure.
2. Post pictures of the slot board, near the 3rd slot. Maybe one of the traces is broken/corroded or one of the solder joints got loose.
3. Check this page: https://wiki.neogeodev.org/index.php?title=Graphic_glitches and see if the problem matches any of the problems described there.

Sorry I can't help you more, but I am not a tech specialist, just have some general knowledge.

Regards.
