kof 98 problem

[J69]

every now and again my player will start flashing (like the shadow does). Im pretty sure its not a bootleg, could it just be a bit dirty?

How do the UK guys clean their carts?

I have no idea what this means. Could you elaborate?

the character i am playing will start flickering/flashing. the rest of the screen is fine though.

You're not talking about when you power up in Advanced mode, are you?

 

[J69]

nope, i mean one minute the fighter will be fine and the next hes flickering all over the shop!

I say clean the PCB's with water and dry with a hair dryer, it's the only way.
I'm not joking either, I had a KOF96 mvs cart with a background scrolling graphics issue, cleaned pcb with water and the graphics issue was no where to be found!

The 2-slot at the mall has this problem, though the whole screen will turn another color and start flashing and then goes back to normal after a bit. It probably just need cleaning (had a look once, the inside was filthy).

sometimes it's also due to RAM overload if there is a lot going on.
