I need some help ruling out problems with my NES.
After watching Little Miss Gamers review of Startropics, I was inspired to dust off my NES. It had been stored in a box for about a year and a half since it was last played. So I hooked it up, and was greeted with the "normal" problems I get when playing an nes game.
But then I discovered that it isn't so normal. It seems that the best picture that my nes could put out is one that shakes. It smears from the top, and becomes offset to the perfect (as in where they should be) active sprites. For instance, I'd start off in Super Mario Bros. and mario would be about a half inch off the shaking ground. Also, as soon as I run to the right, the speed would slow down dramatically.
Could it be my AC Adaptor(rated at 9 volts, 1.2 amps)?
Is this something that a brand new 172 pin connector would fix?
If the problem is something internal and beyond me, would a Yobo NES clone be something to look into?
Thanks in advance.
