X'eye issues

[substantial_snake]

When I boot up my x'eye using an urban strike cartridge the game fails to start.

I get a single screen which says "produced or distributed by sega etc.etc." but no game.

Any ideas?

Try cleaning the cartridge. Sometimes you'll still get the license screen but no game if the connectors are dirty.

Second that advice. I was getting that on all of my 32x games until I cleaned it up.

Picked up another genesis game to test out on the X'eye, Garry Kitchen's Super Battletank.

The game boots up but im getting no sound from it period.

This is strange because with no game inserted the X'eye version of the Sega CD boot screen displays fine and plays it own music track, and if I have a music CD inserted it will play that just fine as well. (still have yet to pick up a sega CD game)

Ill be picking up a few more games this weekend but until then any thoughts?

The only things I could see is messed up is either something is wrong with the genesis portion of the X'eye or the genesis portion doesn't output audio over the built in VGA output. Either that or its a compatibilities issue with the system, I have no idea weather that is the case but I know that some of these combo systems did have issues with certain games.

Edit: I failed to note that I had tried cleaning both cartridges and I didn't notice a change. Urban strike still fails to boot and super tank still has no sound.

(sorry double post)

I've acquired a few more games and ive noticed a pattern.

Everytime I use a game that wont load past the start screen I get a momentary white flash when I turn the system on. Im not sure if that helps or not but there it is.

The Sega CD portion seems to have stopped functioning now, the system fails to boot to it whenever I don't use a cartridge.

After testing a few games none of them have sound except for Sonic 1 and I have no idea why. That being said Sonic 1 freezes shortly into the game, similar to anything else that actually loads onto the system.

I really have no clue what the problem is, anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Sega CD now functioning...again.

What kind of power supply are you using? The official x'eye or cdx perhaps?
