Hi everyone. before I went to work today I got 6 VB Games and 2 copies of Wario Land.

It’s working but theres a problem.
Between the levels there are bonus levels where you can get coins and hearts and stuff like that –

There are big red lines in the sides. they only happen on these levels, other than that the game looks beautiful.
Its not very bad I can play but I just want to ask – anyone seen/knows about that? thanks for answers

I want to add that its only happen on this game, and its worse in one copy and better in another one.

Even though it might seem very unlikely to you, it sounds very much like the glitchy display problem to me. I always test Wario Land when repairing displays on that very screen you are describing as that can show you problems that other games do not.

I agree… it’s unlikely to be caused by the cartridge. I usually use the Mario Clash intro to test displays… since you have that game as well, I’d recommend watching the entire intro and see if the problems pop up as well.

Double check your system and clean out your games.

I would have to agree with what everyone is saying so far. It may be the work of your ribbon cables in your Virtual Boy. They tend to create many lines across the screen due to them having a certain part on the ribbon cable that’s not having a perfect connection because of the age of the material that was used to make the signal strong. Lucky there are many methods too fixing the ribbon cables to make it run correct again and we have some people here that can fix ribbions cables to high performance with a permeant fix. As I said though, they’re are many methods to fixing them. Some are non-permeant though. Your Ribbon cables don’t seem to be bad (If that is the case) they are just starting to get there or it could possible be something else. I think it’s the ribbons though :/ It’s a common problem that Virtual Boy’s get, A LOT get it sadly, even mine have it.

No, not a lot of them, all of them 😛

You and the OP should get your respective displays soldered (or do it yourself if you have the skills).

@JoePassive: Even if it’s not the cause of this particular problem – which it probably is – it will eliminate one possible cause and let you track it down with known-good displays.

Yeah, I need to do that! Only if I had the skills to do it myself though. I really want to learn how to do it but I’m not sure if I’ll do it correctly as it’s suppose to be. I think I have the materials to do it too.

Time for some free advertising 🙂

I’ve been doing solder repairs for some members here, feel free to PM me if you’re interested. I live in the USA. I believe TheForce81 up above also does repairs still, but is in Europe which will be the better option if you live there.
