Hello, Just got my FXPAK Pro and I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I keep getting frequent graphical glitches in the practice rom? I've used a fresh ROM to create the Practice ROM and recreated it multiple times to try and fix the issue. Is there something I'm missing which would remedy this? Thanks, |

If the graphical glitches are like flickering horizontal lines, it's probably a power issue with your console. With a SNES or SFC you eventually need to replace the electrolytic capacitors and the 7805 voltage regulator. There are a bunch of videos on YouTube if you're comfortable with a soldering iron. |

Hi, Thanks for the response but I don't think that's it, I think it's something to do with the ROM that's causing the image to become distorted. It fixes itself if I reset to a save state repeatedly but this can take an annoying amount of attempts. Doesn't make the practice very efficient! :') Describing the graphical issue is difficult, it's as though all the pixels have gone the wrong colour. |

I'd recommend running the diagnostics firmware to see if the cart has an issue. What you're describing sounds exactly like the issue I used to have with various practice roms. Mine detected an issue with the SNES PA. PA test is related to the B Address bus on the extension pins. Most likely bad solder joints on RA101, RA102, RA111, RA112. Redoing these joints actually resolved the issue for me. |

Thanks for the response, sorry to sound like a complete noob but I'm having trouble working out how I'm meant to organise the firmware files on my SD card. Do you mind giving me a quick rundown? |

Quick Update: Managed to get the Firmware to work but the PA has passed. Very odd. |
