Hey guys, wondering if I could get some insight into a problem I've been having with my Neo Geo. I just hooked it all back up today to a newly purchased Sony Trinatron CRT and I've been getting a lot of flickering with the picture. When I got the machine a couple of years ago the picture would occasionaly flicker but only once or twice and only during certain game intro movies - never in game. Now it's very common.
I've tried both the original Japanese 110v PSU and my locally sourced 220v power pack, connecting it up to the TV with bog standard AV cables and through an XNEO-1 box, different games - no dice, still get nasty flicker. The only thing I've noticed is that if I move the PSU's plug whilst it's connected in the back of the machine and powered on (not pulling it out, just rotating it) I'll get the flicker or complete system reset. Could it be a dodgy power connector on the actual Neo Geo board? Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's driving me nucking futs!
