Ok so my 72 pin connector is not the greatest, so as I was trying to get a game to finally boot up while mostly getting gray screens (I have my 10NES chip disabled) it booted up with garbled graphics, powered off temporarily, then powered back on with the game now running just fine. Can anyone explain this symptom to me? Is there something going bad in my NES? I'm using a Sega Genesis Model 1 power supply with 9V, 1.2a
It almost seems to me like a short or something. I was using a Famicom to NES adapter, I've never seen it do this with a regular NES cart, at least not yet. Does anyone recognise why it does this sometimes? It only started doing this when I moved my NES to another room that has a high wattage oil heater that's on the same power strip (it's a heavy duty power strip from Home Depot designed for power tools).
