Hi, I recently picked up a PGM IGS and a copy of Dodonpachi Beestorm but have had no luck in getting it to work correctly on my Pana/Sigma superguns. I致e cleaned the contacts on everything (both cart and system look new), tweaked the voltage to no avail. I get missing or garbled sprites at the start of the game and error messages within seconds of the opening level. The PGM system boots up perfectly so I知 thinking its a dodgy cart.

I have no other cartridges to test the system with. First foray into PGM, anyone else ever had/seen this problem? Apologies in advance for the crappy pics, thanks

Can be a dodgy cart.
Also faulty RAMs aren't rare in PGM mobos.

You need another motherboard to test. I would bet it's a motherboard fault and not the cartridge.

I've had two in the past that showed similar on screen messages.

EDIT - Have you checked for battery acid leak? Are you 100% sure everything is fine in that area?
