130xe video glitches?

[+-^CrossBow^-]

I've mentioned this to a few others, but as I'm new to the 8-bit line and especially the games this could all be normal.

 

I've linked below a quick vid I made showing graphic glitches with Crownland and another game titled as Fairy Castle. The title screen on Crownland really goes crazy when the music kicks in and I noticed the glitching was essentially in time with the music. However, I did NOT record any audio with this video capture. 

 

My 130xe is NTSC and stock with the exception of the UAV that was added. Fairy Castle shows that issue with the main character sprite disappearing, only occurs starting halfway up the screen and completely disappears in the upper 1/3 of the screens. It sorta follows what I see to the main character sprite on Crownland as well. The last section of the video just shows me loading up a game through the FujiNet, but you can see the vertical bars that I still have and how they are mainly visible on dark blue backgrounds. Is this normal behavior given I'm using an NTSC 130xe?

Probably an issue of trying to run PAL graphics on NTSC machine. Ergo, this is normal behavior.

This is likely the issue, I just tried Crownland on the Altirra emulator in both PAL and NTSC mode. On NTSC it displayed the graphic glitches just like in @-^CrossBow^-'s video and when I set it to PAL the graphics on the intro screen seemed just fine with no glitches.

Thanks guys for trying it out. I basically figured this was the case. Too bad this enormous list of games doesn't really tell me what will or won't work LOL on my 130xe! BTW to make sure it wasn't some random issue with RAM or something, I've had the memory test running since before I posted this and I'm still green across the board so I'm guessing everything on this 130xe minus the right shift key is good to go.
