I'm actually not 100% sure if this is a problem with my cart or if it's just normal. Basically the intro and battles are fine, they don't have this issue. But any other part where you control Mario I get this weird line graphical glitch that makes it kind of look like it's raining. I just finished swapping the cart to an English eeprom, but I'm pretty sure it did this before I did the rom swap. Did I just get a bad JP cart or is this just normal? If not, is it fixable? e: here is direct capture to give you an idea. It looks like this on my display as well. e2: Actually do you think this might be an issue with the outer pins on my 62 pin connector or maybe just a problem with my Super Famicom in general? Here's some footage of it as well, you can see that the lines go away in battle http://a.pomf.se/tfircp.webm
I Have the exact same issue , did you find wath causes this ??? I have another snes system and the game plays fine on the other so I am pretty sure the problem is the snes itself and not the game cartridge do you have any clues to share ?
Look up "SNES vertical lines," there's a thread for that. Plus, when you swapped the rom, did you remember to put the voltage at 3.7V?
Hey, just wanted to say the cart was fine. I even bought a second cart and it had the same issue. Something was wrong with the Super Famicom itself, I tried reflowing some chips and the pin connector on the SFC and it didn't help. Swapped in another SNES PCB and everything worked fine. Only thing I didn't try was swapping the pin connector, I'm not sure if you need to desolder it on the SFC but it didn't just pop off like it does on a regular SNES. This is the only game that I seem to have issues with on the original SFC PCB, even games that use those same outer pins (Yoshi's Island, Star Ocean) had no issues.
