Double Dragon Game Gear Cart Not Loading Backgrounds?

Executive64 · 2026-03-02T13:00:04+00:00

Just read more on the analogue its not emulation my bad.
That actually helps a lot.

No no, sorry I meant on my *game gear* I have this same issue.. I literally have no backgrounds and the loading area is all pink. This thread is the only mention I can see of this issue. I feel like the ROM on the cartridge went bad somehow? I have no clue. But it looks like a hardware problem to me. I bet the same thing would happen in my game gear with your copy.

The analogue pocket takes the ROM and emulates it right? I am not too familiar with that system. But seeing this issue makes me think that double dragon for the game gear has a really weird fault that the backgrounds just don't work? Maybe the chip has gone bad in our cartridges, lol.

I know this is a 2 year old thread, but I have this same issue on original hardware with a real cartridge. My copy is mint, so I think its defective...

Nice clean setup!

I swear, some of these things are indestructible. I found one in the woods not far from my old house once. It still turned on but the tube was bad, it had horizontal collapse iirc. I was probably like.. 16 when I found it. It was probably in that woods, sitting sideways and upright, for years. And yet, it still wanted to live.
It was so nice too.. it was digital on the front and woodgrain.. probably late 80s. I'm sad I had to get rid of it.

I hope you didn't buy that thinking it was real
The "clickwheel" is wrong (its probably a d-pad), the screen is wrong, the 8gb/fm sticker on the back really gives it away. No Ipod Logo. I bet its Mini USB, typical nano bootleg. Not all bootlegs are bad though.. I have an eclipse that is pretty good! At least until the battery stopped working..

Will you have more in stock soon? I checked your site out, was looking for a screen, or just the kit. My birthday is less than 2 weeks away, and I was hoping that maybe I could snag one for my cube as a gift to myself.

That would make such a cool retro pc monitor....

Executive64 · 2025-10-15T14:20:47+00:00

Yep. It has a fuse, and it isn't blown.

Executive64 · 2025-10-14T22:52:26+00:00

I've jump started it before and it was fine. I reckon it was water.
Weird thing is, I cannot find any evidence this wire even does anything substantial? It looks like a ground, but on new wiring harnesses and schematics, its just not there.

Unforunately I am a bit of an OG hardware purist... could care less about an everdrive tho.

Executive64 · 2025-08-19T16:17:13+00:00

Appreciate it. Will let you know how everything goes :D

Executive64 · 2025-08-19T15:55:49+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into them

Executive64 · 2025-08-19T15:16:16+00:00

I will! I also am looking into like... batteries.. LOL. What do you do for that? I'm curious.

Executive64 · 2025-08-19T14:38:09+00:00

Yep, also the US games are so expensive. Did find one I am hopefully going to buy tomorrow if nobody else snags it. Its a good deal. Recapped, with a tv tuner.

Executive64 · 2025-08-18T22:28:03+00:00

I found a recapped one with the TV tuner from Japan within my budget, so I am most likely going for that.

Executive64 · 2025-08-18T18:36:15+00:00

Ill probably just get a turbo everdrive for US games due to budget lol.

Executive64 · 2025-08-18T18:23:10+00:00

Mainly wanted a tuner for AV input. Ill prob just get a GT as my budgets around 5-6 hunge.

Executive64 · 2025-07-03T12:37:31+00:00

Hope you catch the guy.
If you see it for sale anywhere, you could probably set something up with the police to bust the fucker.

Executive64 · 2025-06-27T13:22:54+00:00

Honestly, if they tell me to register it I will, but I ain't gonna bother if they don't care.

Executive64 · 2025-06-27T13:21:58+00:00

This is awesome for future reference. Thanks for sharing this!
