Help...my new Neo Geo is glitchy and unplayable
(138-in-1 board)
So I just picked up a nice Neo Geo with a 138-in-1 cart that was working when I grabbed it. But now that I have it home it's all glitchy and weird. Sound comes and goes and sometimes gets garbled. Text is often garbled and unreadable. Games start to play and then freeze after a few moments. It's a sad state of affairs.
I've tried re-seating the aux board, connector and the cartridge. Checked all the wiring and it seems fine. Checked the +5 and it's at 5.1. Not sure what else to check as I'm brand new to Neo Geo stuff.
I don't have a spare game cart to throw in there for testing unfortunately. Any other good tips for quick troubleshooting on this thing though? My kids will thank you. I will thank you.
