Hi Everyone,
Ok, I've been wanting to ask this question for a long time now.
Every now and then I see CAPCOM CPS1 boards listed on eBay with "little black squiggly lines."
The game is described as plays fine but graphics problem.
Last year I played such a game and it worked fine--except for the graphics.
I noticed that these these little squiggly black lines ran vertically across the screen.
During text screens, these little black lines always covered or distorted the text.
But, during non-text game play screens, these little squiggly black lines disappeared; however,
the character sprites were messed up (rendered incomplete).
Since then, I've sen these black lines on CPS1 games with and without a suicide battery.
So, I'm wondering if anyone knows what causes this kind of graphics problem?
