Having an uber wierd issue with a new pf2x - when i plug it into any video output device via the super famicom i have flickering video on the screen...

its color / but flickers all over the place (like interferance or something)...

when plugging a japanese cart right into thet super famicom i am using i get no video problems - it only occurs when i plug the pf2x into the system...

i'm sure i have the right power supply going into the pf2x (floppy drive works and loads games - it even holds them in memory like it should do...) and the self test gives me OK's all the way - weird eh?

Anyone got any suggestions?

Have you tried it with a European or American Super Nintendo instead?

not yet - only got the sfc here - but i can try it @ the weekend with a euro and a modded euro model (it needs a NTSC lockout chip tho Wink

but i'm sure i can pop a US/JAP game in the top and it may run?

Have you tried cleaning all the connections on the SFC and GDSF7? After a few years of my copiers being put away in storage for a few years I had some video problems as well. I used a universal system cleaning kit and then everything worked fine. I use a SFC system and NTSC TV and GDSF7 NTSC.

Have you tried cleaning all the connections on the SFC and PFX2? After a few years of my copiers being put away in storage for a few years I had some video problems as well. I used a universal system cleaning kit and then everything worked fine for all my copiers. I use a SFC system and NTSC TV, SPFQ, PFX, PFXT2 64M, DPF, GP2+, SWC DX3295 and many others. They all worked fine after that.
Also using to weak of a power supply omn the SFC system can cause issues.

thanks doctorbackup - yea i cleaned out the pf2x with some isopropyl - but still the video problems persist- i bought a decent powersupply from robs web shop so i'll see if that makes a difference Smile

i'm sure its a power issue now... thanks for the help!

just in case anyone else has this problem -

its fixed now and the issue was the super famicom's power supply was not giving the copier enuff power - once i got a better power adaptor for the sfc the problem went away...
