My SNES is braindead this morning. I went to play some games on it, and I was welcomed with graphical glitch galore. I went as far as to take the thing apart and reset the cartridge connector, even reversing it, but no change in behavior.
Symptoms are as follows:
Street Fighter II: No title screen graphic, just a bunch of huge flickering pixels... (as it tries to do the special effect, then the graphic disapears all together).. Game itself still plays fine..
The Lion King: Background sometimes loses place, and just bounces back and forth horizontally, like it's forgetting where it's supposed to be.. Random freezes also occur.
Super Mario World: Game runs fine with only the oddity of the screen flashing brighter sometimes, only 1 frame out of 60 frames, and completely random. Seems to only happen at the world map.
Unless someone here knows what this means, I think my SNES is braindead, and is ready to die on me, which would stink, because this was a "rescued" SNES (previous owner trashed it very badly, he was a Sony fan...)
I was going to get Castlevania, Dracula X for it, but I'm afraid that game wouldn't run at all, with all the graphical effects it does...
Oh, and I did check the power supply.. Working fine..
