Hi all,

just wanted to share that my NEO-AES would start games from the 161 in 1 module with sound and music, during the game play the music would suddenly stop, sound effects would keep going most of the time, and sometimes I got graphic problems as if the cart wasn't inserted properly.
Only happened wth the 161 in 1 module.

The PSU I was using was an old switching PSU I had lying around, it would only deliver 4.8V.

With a proper 5V PSU however, all these problem went away.

So glad I tried another PSU instead of opening it again :)

The cart draws more power, and you were using the wrong power supply
