ok, even a real game doesn't work right for me. I got cosmic phantasy 2 or whatever and the logo screens and the animation screens work fine but the in game graphics are messed up.

The characters on screen render fine but the backgrounds are just a jumbled mess of tiles, like someone took a slide puzzle and messed it all up.

that is a definite hardware issue
either bad ram (IFU or system card) or connections between system, ifu and system card

You really need to find someone nearby and try combinations of different system cards / IFU units / consoles.


BTW, nice 7800 games there :-) I like the 7800 too.

well... anyone out near Winchester VA?

I've tried different system cards and even launched the system card (both US and JP) from an everdrive and it does the same thing.

so you guys are thinking it is the base not the TG16 or the cd drive itself?

Are they socketed things or something you would need to solder?

Nothing to do with the OP... I just wanted to say thanks to wolfman. I fixed up another CD-ROM2, and I used It Came From the Desert to adjust the pots. Worked a treat, faster than the way I've been doing it. :)
