Hey all! Just out of curiosity, has anyone had an issue with their Hi-Def NES' freezing? Mine has done it a lot, HOWEVER only when I'm using my EverDrive N8. I thought it could be a bad SD card or old firmware so I bought a new one and updated to the current firmware... and it still freezes. Specifically, when I'm playing Zelda 1 Randomizer, but it's frozen playing other vanilla games as well.

Could it be a bad cap? I haven't replaced them yet. Or perhaps the power supply? Maybe even the EverDrive N8 itself?

Any help would be amazing! Thanks in advance  

EDIT: For the record, the Everdrive did freeze once on a stock NES... that was a long time ago and has worked flawlessly since.  Also I modded the NES myself, and I don't have any issues playing actual carts.  Only roms on an Everdrive.  Randomizer freezes almost 50% of the time now   I stopped using the Everdrive for Hi-Def NES burn-ins because it was having a semi-consistent freeze that didn't happen with a real game. I have both versions of SMB3 and it'll run all day and night with either of them but often when I load up the game on my Everdrive and leave it on the World 1 map screen it will be locked up in about 15 minutes. Other times it will be fine on the Everdrive and run for hours with no issues but I've done a lot of testing and the freeze definitely only happens on the Everdrive.

So last we left off, I was stuck. There was no way to get game mode running on my Samsung set and not have the humming noise. I was able to replicate the humming outside of game mode through a couple of different sound settings, movie and clear voice. My conclusion was that in game mode Samsung had locked the sound settings into either one of those and there was no way to disable them. My theory is that if Samsung produced a firmware update that would allow the sound settings to be changed or locked it into a different sound preset, things would probably be fine. However, since both the Hi-Def NES and GCVideo are pretty niche products it's unlikely that they would want to invest time, money and effort into addressing this.

Ultimately, after a lot (and I mean a lot) of back and forth with the folks I bought the original set through, Newegg, I was able to exchange the set for a Sony XBR55850D. It's not as good of a set overall as my original Samsung, but it does play everything Hi-Def NES and GCVideo related perfectly in game mode, and judging by recent news it won't be peering into my living room like the Samsung. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=138177 2017-02-20T20:39:05 -05.00 Game-Tech-US 568 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=138177 2017-02-20T17:03:12 -05.00 Game-Tech-US 568 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=138177 2017-02-20T16:58:22 -05.00 Game-Tech-US 568

Thanks! Yes. I've tried various HDMI cables that I have and even bought a new one. I also have a switcher and tried that as well, no joy.
He, I had a similar issue when I first connected my Hi Def to my LG smart tv. I also had a low hum on my tv. After trying other cables, power cords and checking if I soldered the new capacitors correctly, I found it was an audio setting on my tv. I began messing with my audio settings on the tv, I noticed that I had a setting called Clear Voice II that was enabled. After I disabled that setting, the low hum was gone. I suggest u try turning on and off all your tvs audio setting and see if any of them fixes the issue.

If I hit a wall, I'll send it back. So that said.. anyone have a recommendation for an alternative to this 55 inch KS8000? ]]>
