    Here is what the 32 is doing. Seems to play games fine just vertical all over. I gave both cart slots a good clean and still get the lines with 32x games. Genesis games seem to work fine with no lines. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    I bought this to mod in s-video which I just did but still have the lines. So this happens with composite and s-video.

    I captured a quick video which should show the line a little better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI8nPTtp2ik

    Try plugging the av cable into the genesis, if the video is clean (aside from the missing 32x sprites of course) then the 32x probably has vram problems, otherwise I would suspect a genesis compatibility issue. BTW which genesis are you using, I have found a lot of weird bugs happen when using some versions of the genesis 1.

    Could be the video cable with noise. Depending if you're using a high quality cable, could be as simple as that.

    Video comes out clean so I guess the 32x has an issue. I tried this out on my model 1 and model 2 genesis. If the AV cable is in the 32x Genesis game run fine with no lines.

    I tried swapping cable but got the same lines. I guess the 32x is just faulty.

    I don't have any issue with games stalling either. They seem to be running fine. Doom run and I only get the lines in the boxed gameplay screen the out edge has no lines at all. Knuckle Chaotix has the lines in when the sprites are on the screen. I guess this isn't something a full cap replacement could fix huh? That was going to be my next try.

    Also wanted to say thanks for the replies I appreciate the help.
