Glitched Hu card

[LameKat]

Thank you much, looks like I'll be testing on another system next week. Just unplugged my turbo from the cd dock and tried all the games through the RF connection and none of them worked at all, just single color screens?

I bet they work on another system.

[LameKat]

They do! They work just swell on another system. Except Final Lap Twin, figured as much since it looks like it's been cooked in an oven. Hung out with bust3dstr8 for a bit (cool shit), thanks for the help.
And now onto my new issue:
I thought the laser needed to be replaced in my Turbo CD because everytime I'd try to start a game up I'd get the " wait a moment " screen and nothing would ever happen but I could get audio through a CD? I've got a system 2.0 and 3.0 card with both the same result. Now with bust3d's TG the disk spins for a second and it tells me to reset the disk? And now I can't get audio CD's to work. Ready to give up and see if I can get my SGX modded and snag a Super CD system and Duo card. Any last thoughts?

we do fix the drives, mainly chop5 and blueBMW, tho i fixed 3 for chop.
further the glitched system would likely not load properly.

ya i had a Bonk card do that...

There is no spoon.

[thesteve]

i had a bonk card do that, so i cleaned it

I might as well show my glitched hucard that is a Arcade Duo card.  I cleaned the Duo card a bunch of times and tried it on multiple systems(SCD, Duo R, PCE Duo) with the same results.  I don't have too many Arcade games....Mad Stalker freezes at the beginning level and the Sapphire bootleg has glitches and freezes after beating the first level. 

It's not the game discs either since I loaded them with a Arcade Pro card on the same three systems and they works perfectly. Super CD and regular CD games seem to work perfectly with the Duo card. 

Here's some glitched screens shots of Sapphire.  Most enemies are white blocks.  The second screen shows the background blanked out when using a bomb.

I have a copy of Galaga 90 that is giving me these kinds of issues.  Sometimes it random resets, sometimes the graphics go all glitchy.  Once, JUST ONCE, it let me play for hours with nothing happening.

I liked that game, too..

I've now got another US copy of dungeon explorer, thanks to Necromancer. It works perfectly on my region modded core grafx 2 + briefcase, so the problem was definately with the other glitched card, not the console. After this I gave the glitched card another try and it still glitches / crashes. However I then tried the glitched card in the coregrafx 2 without the briefcase setup and it works fine. I'd never thought of trying the card out on the just the core grafx (without the cd rom connected).

It seems very strange that a card will work fine on th core grafx but will be a glitchy mess when used in the briefcase setup.  

Anyway, finally I get to play this lovely game.

I had that happen to me with my arcade card. The culprit was an improperly seated Chosado, make sure the contacts are perfect and try it again.

I've got a copy of new zealand story that i've never been able to pass level 3 on.
it just decides to not load levels, it shows the level # and the amount of  lives like normal, and then goes blank
any ideas?

[nat]

Honestly, this all sounds like the result of dirty contacts.

Keep in mind, sometimes it's the contacts in the console's cart slot that are dirty as well.

[farankoshan]

Yup yup. Nothing that a good cleaning can't fix. Go for it. At this point, you've got nothing to lose.

[Edmond Dantes]

I tried cleaning my Galaga 90, and the card port (which I didn't suspect was the culprit anyway because my Street Fighter II works just fine).  It still glitches.

Only thing I can think to do is get another copy of the same game and hope its not glitched too.

Does anyone have any idea why my dodgy copy of Dungeon Explorer glitches and crashes in my breifcase setup but works fine when the core grafx is detached.

It's not a problem, just a mystery.
