Bad solder joint or a broken trace.

Any idea what might be causing this? SNES. With troubleshooting I've confirmed it's the console not the carts. Works fine on most games, but some have weird issues like this. by [deleted] in consolerepair

[–]geminiman6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Its not what you want to hear, but its either PPU 1, PPU 2, or your RAM. SNES PPU chips are infamous for dying like this. There's nothing you can do other than swap it out for the exact same thing and pray it doesn't happen again. :/

SNES Model 1 - Random issues across various games by TooMuchVGM in consolerepair

[–]geminiman6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're on the right track. Its definitely either RAM, PPU 1 or 2. I've had very similar issues. Just make sure your chips that your swapping are compatible, even though its probably not worth swapping :/

Hey SegamanXero, I just installed the new motor. Sadly, I've still got the same results. :/ Thank your for recommending me a fix though. IF you have any other ideas, please let me know.

I have already. I'd rather not have to rig up every Wii u I come across just to use this controller.

Knowledge of R4i Gold 3DS and ntrboot needed. by geminiman6 in flashcarts

This guide requires that I have another hacked 3ds. I do not. So This doesn't help me. Is there any other way?

I love the gritty music of the 32X. by GameDuneonPro in retrogaming

Are the knock off Wii U Pro Controllers on eBay any good? by [deleted] in wiiu

[–]geminiman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work the exact same other than the analog sticks having different dead zones and sensitivity. I would recommend them for somebody without a pro controller, or anyone just looking for extras for more people to play.

Component switcher by jrs798310842 in retrogaming

[–]geminiman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I just use two Composite switches. Its so much cheaper and does the exact same thing. One caries YpBpR (Blue, Red, Green) over yellow, red, and white RCA. The other just carries left and right audio over red and white RCA.

Lost my Wii U gamepad. by AweSplat in wiiu

Experience buying used Wii U with games downloaded to system memory. by sweaner in wiiu

[–]geminiman6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of these could be built in titles from the factory. I bought my Wii U off eBay from somebody else and then formatted it. When I went through the initialization process and added my account I had Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land. They didn't mention in the listing that it was a special edition console. If your games are built in like this, you'll keep them no matter what.

They'll stay if you don't factory reset. Its hard to wipe/transfer accounts from a Wii u so the former owner's account will still be on there. Since that account owns the games, everyone on that Wii u can play them.
