Dreamcast Weird Video Issue

Post by demiangreenday »

Can anyone help me figure out what the hell is wrong with this thing?



-Bad GPU?
-Bad Capacitors?
-Bad PSU?
-Bad Video Memory modules?
-All of the above
-I don´t care! :wink:

My guess is a GPU issue, but I'm not sure.

I too will say that it is a GPU issue; I had a similar issue with my first Gamecube, anything that was a 3D object, even the large cube in the internal BIOS, would appear incomplete, almost like broken full of glass shards. I replaced the system board and it works like a champ now.
