Title: Duo-R Flicker and CD Load Error [Solved]
Post by: that1crzywhtguy on February 14, 2017, 12:37:43 PM

Not having the best of luck over here again! Just got another Duo, this time an R, from yamatoku-classic, and this one (even though listed as tested) has issues too. Hu-card games seem to run fine, but the CD portion doesn't seem to work at all. When I try to load a cd game, it blinks and flickers, makes a weird sound out of the speakers, and eventually says load error.

Here is a video of what it's doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtcq-7oB4Lk

This is probably just a cap issue, right?

Thanks!

Nevermind!

I was using an aftermarket genesis 2 power adapter I bought off Amazon. It appears that it didn't produce enough power or something, cause when I used my real genny 2 power adapter, now it works. That being said, there are some weird graphical and sound glitches now, but I think that warrants a new/different post.
