Mega Drive Image Problems

[odrakir]

Hi guys,

I recently bought an used MD1 to replace the board on my old one (which only displays a black image).

I tested the used MD1 with the RF cable and I got a little distortion on the image from now and then, specially on games like Sonic I and II. Yesterday I got 2 RGB cables, one for the MD1 and another for my Nomad.

The picture quality on the Nomad is great, but the MD1 still has the same distortion and it shifts the screen a few pixels between left and right.

I've uploaded a video showing the problem here -

You can see the image flickering when the Sonic 2 opening screen shows up and when I reset the system and the Sega logo shows up.

Is this a known problem on the MD / Genesis?

Thanks!

I've never heard of anything like that, but as a first precaution I would clean the contacts on your Genesis cartridge, or does it do that with every game, not just Sonic 2?
