    Default 3DO Graphic Glitches

    I really need some help on this one. I had a PAL FZ10 with a busted laser and an NTSC FZ10 with a busted PSU. I swapped the PAL PSU into the NTSC FZ10. Most games work just fine but some have major graphic glitches. Need for speed has massive glitches and cant be played, you cant see the characters in alone in the dark 1 & 2, Graphics are skits in Killing time. Other games like doom and wolf 3d, sf2x etc all work just fine. Now when use the pal mobo eith the NTSC laser, all games run just fine. Since i dont want the letterbox effect i'd rather use the NTSC mobo. Any suggestions? So,,,,, Ntsc FZ10 with PAL PSU is what im dealing with.

    You put a PAL power supply in an american 3D0? The power supply is probably expecting 240 AC instead of 120 AC, and as a result is probably only outputting half the required voltage. That's my guess.

    Im in a PAL country so the power outlets are 220-240. The supply to the motherboard from the PSU should be exactly the same. All my NTSC consoles have PAL psu's like the dreamcast, saturn, ps2 etc, they all work just fine. The 3do doesnt,,,

    Anyone here ever opened a FZ10? Coz you'd know what I mean.

    Technically speaking we are looking at 2 motherboards running of the same PSU

    well big der to me

    I have this working fine, an ntsc FZ10 with a Pal powerboard. They do produce the same currency like every other console ive owned. My problem was the Ribbon cable from the PSU to Mobo, all good
