Hey there! So I got myself an Everdrive GB mini and I wanted to see how it looks with the capture software but when I boot up say Mother 1+2, I noticed that some pixels flicker here and there and sometimes screen tearing. I set the software display to GBA, is there anything Im missing or is this something internal that needs to be fixed?
Really appreciate for any ideas!

I can check for you if this happens with other hardware...
Is this the Japanese copy, or the English translation? And if it is the English translation, which game has been translated of the two?
Does this happen with other games as well?

It was the English translation for both games. I tried out F-zero GP Legend and Tetris GB and it still happens. It also happens when Im in the everdrive's menu as well.

Hmm... I cannot reproduce this. Does this happen with regular GBA cartridges as well?

Yes, it does the same thing with regular cartridges as well. I took a recording of what it looks like to kinda see what my issue is.

Does it also happen if you switch the screen that you are sending your GBA game to?
This seems like some sort of installation/hardware issue...
Maybe loopy has a better idea of what could be wrong?
