Unhappy please help me with my GC and Sony 29" Wega!

Mario Sunshine - Weird lines!? ***!

it only seems to hapen with this game but every time i play and i go into a place that had a darkish tone (especially in the jail cell bit on isle delifino) i get these vertical lines going down the screen, they are permantely there, i occasionally see them when i look up at the sky, they are about 2 inches apart and there are around 10 overall.

-I have a sony wega 29" TV (not crap)
-I have an offical scart cable

What i want to know is a fault with the game disc, which i doubt, or is it somthing to do with my scart setu por somthing? also on pikmin i ocasionally see images 'moving' behind the actual picture! its werid and annoying!

please some1 help me!

It sounds like interference to me... Esp with Pikmin. Not so sure about the Mario Sunshine one though. Have you made sure that all of the connections are secure? And away from any possible electrical interference?

Can you try and post a picture of this....might be helpful in getting to the bottom of it. I assume you're using an official Nintendo RGB Cable?

Then borrow a camera off a mate ^_^ Its odd to get images like that... For the Sony TVs I've heard about a green horizontal line at the top and... Oo-er... If memory serves me correctly there was a thread somewhere on Sony Wega TVs having "distortion/interference" lines somewhere. I remember it running while I was on the Toshiba Strata thread.

I think it could be this one... Have a read anyway. Plenty of info here.

Good Luck!
