Yes, but I've checked other (none AA) carts and the Supercharger. Both
cause waaay lower distortions.
E.g. the latest Thrust+ Platinum cart has way more distortions than
the very first Thrust cart (v1.3) from Hozer. Starting from the 2nd
cart from Hozer (v1.4), the distortions show up.
The title screen code is always 99% identical, so where does the
difference come from, if not the board layout?
Have fun!
