Are there supposed to be lines running up the screen with Genesis?
Einhander:
I have the original Mega Drive Model. Is it normal to have lines run up and down the screen? Never noticed them before.
Megatron:
Those are the "Blast Processing" lines, so YES, they are supposed to be there.
Megatron:
...Nah, I'm messing with you. No, those lines are not supposed to be there so...somewhere there is a problem. Check your connection and try different games, if you get them with all, it may be your AV cable. Other than that, it may be the mega drive having trouble with a steady output. I suggest checking games and (if possible) cables.
Are you playing this on an HDTV? Because that me be something, too

I second 'HDTV as source of the problem' - a Samsung HDTV I had a few years ago stuck a staticky looking line on the right side of the screen playing PS1 games. It was a weird issue that I've literally only had with that TV.
