Master System Freezes
Post Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2022 8:42 am
Hi all

Brand new member. I just bought myself a Master System Power Base with Alex Kidd built in but after 10 to 15 seconds it freezes everytime.

Does anyone know of this issue and if so know what a fix would be?

Thanks i advance people

Leigh

Does it behave the same with other games too? Or only with the built in alex the kidd?

Does it always freeze at the same spot in the game, or is it random?

I only have the built in game at the moment.

It freezes at the same time even if I don't start playing the game. It freezes at the same time on the demo play

Ok, so its freezing after a fixed time from power up but doesnt matter if you start the game and play or just leave it to run through the demo.

When its freezing does the screen go black, or does it just stop with the game play on it?

Once it freezes, does it start back up again if you switch it off and on again? Or do you nees to switch it off for a bit before it will run again?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to piece together exactly whats going on.
