Hey there, just been having problems with my MK1 SS displaying lines after about 10-15min of play. I had a quick look around, and couldn't find too much info on this issue. Could this be my PSU overheating as I've seen mention?? Has anyone else had this problem, if so did you find an easy fix apart from leaving the cover off lol? Thanks.

Classic PSU overheating there, this is why the later JAP Model 1 Saturn's had some extra venting on the side next to the power supply.
You can either replace the supply for a newer unit, or figure out a cooling strategy for the inside of your system (case fans and/or heatsinks)
Just try and get some very low consumption fans as you dont want to be pulling too much juice from the power board.

a thought and possible idea just dawned on me, you could in theory create a surrounding box perhaps out of perspex and other materials and get cold air circulating in the space around the saturn kinda like a console fridge, that way theres no modification to the saturn  |
