Sega Saturn video problem

Post by ChuChu Flamingo »

Hi I'm just wondering what could cause wavy lines that are very faint when the disk is loading. Sega Saturn is hooked up through S-video. An example is when playing Virtua Fighter 2 it will have a faint line that isn't very noticable in between fights and on the menu.It only happens during loading and after that, it is fine during game play.


Thanks in advance



Edit:Was just a bad power cable. Who would've guessed?

Edit:Nope

Hmm interesting... I remember a while back I was getting some feedback in my speakers when I played my Sega Genesis... ended up being the same result.

Glad you figured it out!

Thanks. What is funny is that the power cord is universal but I just changed it for a new one and it worked.

Seems like I only improved the problem a little bit. Currently running it through S-video to my panasonic plasma and when loading a game for example, it is like a horizontal line going through it.

Could it be just my tv doesn't like the 240p signal?

But when I hooked it up to my crt I could not see the horizontal line.
