Supergrafx White Screen when trying to play Daimakaimura

[shadowman]

I've just received my Supergrafx today, mainly just to play Daimakaimura and eventually 1941 when I track down a copy. The console also came with another Supergrafx game Battleace. I've hooked the console up to my TV and firstly tried Battleace. Worked fine. Next I took my copy of Daimakaimura (which was brand new and sealed) and opened it up. Plugged the game in and all I get is a blank white screen. I've looked around a bit online and made sure the Supergrafx was set to "Mode 1" which as I understand is the required mode for Supergrafx games (either way, neither mode 1 nor mode 2 allowed the game to boot up). I also tried a couple of standard PC Engine games and those work fine. So at the moment I don't think its the console, as every other game seems to work and including another Supergrafx game. So at this stage I think its probably Daimakaimura, which is strange as the game is completely spotless, I'm quite stumped as to why it doesn't work.

Is there anything else I can try?

Page doesn't load for me, but assuming it mentioned changing the switch on the top side of the Supergrafx between the "I" mode and the "II" mode then yes. I believe its all down to the game though, everything else I put in the console works with Daimakaimura being the odd one out, I've tried cleaning the game with Deoxit and rubbing alcohol but had no luck with either. I'm guessing the game is DOA which is a real pity...

Yeah, that's the page I viewed myself. I've managed to pick up a fairly inexpensive loose copy of Daimakaimura that I'm hoping will arrive in a week or two which should hopefully work, as I've tried everything else but had no luck what so ever getting the one game to work.

Ok, second copy of Makaimura arrived and that doesn't work either. So I now think its the console not the game (my copy of Shinobi also white screens, and I can confirm that works fine on my Duo R). I've tried cleaning the console and card slot and the best I got was the title screen load up all corrupted, so it could be anything from a bad solder joint to something seriously broken on the console. No clue at this point
