anyone with mega drive/genesis/32X expertise:
cartridge pin SL1 is not delivering audio *only* when my 32X is plugged in. i've
- cleaned the contacts on the 32X cartridge slot and inside the "cartridge" part of the 32X that plugs into the genesis
- replaced the ribbon cables connecting the two 32X boards
- checked for bad capacitors
- tried stereo audio injection via a cable that routes genesis aux out to the 32X AV out cable
i'm stumped... any ideas? boosts welcome

Thank you to everyone who boosts these dumb little ads I write. It is all that keeps me out of a ditch, slurping the moisture out of rocks for sustenance.
Why mask?
Before covid i used to get sick 2 or 3 times a year, knocked out for a week or two each time.
Since then i've been consistently masking indoors and on public transit. It's been about 7 years since the last time i was sick. I think i gotten sniffles twice since then, barely lasting a day, and that's it.
So this little habit have accumulated me about 6 months of extra quality lifetime, and counting.
That's one reason.
Time to close the 'puter down for the day. Sleep well all, when night reaches you 💤

A lot of devs are obviously struggling with complex communication problems currently, so as someone with a modest linguistics background, I offer this helpful template:

(last year someone raged about it being embarrassing twee Britishness nonsense and yes, that’s kind of the point, I wanted to establish a ‘day’ and deliberately picked something extremely trivial & uncool. I would probably find it mildly annoying if I hadn’t invented it!)
