bjk7382 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I just got a Chuck Norris/Artillery Duel xonox cart off of ebay. The Chuck Norris works fine, but the Artillery Duel looks and rolls like a PAL would on an ntsc. They came from Illinois so I doubt it is pal. I have a solaris that rolls too. Could this be a bad rom chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 The colors look right though, it's probably just defective. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 It is NTSC but with the opposite problem. While PAL carts display too many lines for most NTSC TVs, Artillery Duel displays tool little for some NTSC TVs. The framerate isn't 60Hz as it should be, but ~65Hz!

bjk7382 Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 He has already agreed to an exchange. So is it the cartrige or my tv? It sounds like from what Thomas is saying that it will work in som NTSC tvs but not others? The guy also told me that he tested it with no rolling. Seems very strange.

+Mitch Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Yes, it's your TV. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 Okay, I just tried it on the security camera tv monitor I have hooked up. It displayes it fine that is very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 It displayes it fine that is very strange. Nah, only very bad programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 This is a known issue with Artillery Duel. Many newer TV's freak out due the incorrect number of scanlines and display the way you describe (both of mine do this as well). It can be solved with manual vertical hold.

bjk7382 Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 It displayes it fine that is very strange. Nah, only very bad programming. Well I think every tv sold in the 80's had a vertical hold so I don't think they could have predicted this issue with newer tvs, could they? It probly is programming though because no other game does this. Damn that Xonox. So did they have a team of monkeys working round the clock writing this game.
