spent the last half hour cleaning both cart and snes no luck still the same

probably going to save it for parts and get a new one off ebay for 30 bucks :-(

I'd say it's more an issue with the cart, but the only way to be sure is by trying with other games.

What method did you use?
I remember a friend of mine had given me all her brother's old snes games, but they were filthy as fuck; I had to several times strongly rub a Q-tip on some of them to make them work. Even then they would often crash.
Also if it's a problem of dirtiness, it would be pretty easy to tell by looking at said Q-tip (mine was black)

Play the game for a bit.
See if anything spooky happens.

Problem is that a filthy cart will end up dirtying the system's connectors too...
From my personal experience, scrambled graphics have always been fixed by cleaning the carts, so my only advice is to continue cleaning the cart (20+ years of accumulating filth might need quite some work), and to try other carts too as soon as you can.

Grab a credit card (or any card), cover it with some microfiber cloth (the ones that come with glasses for cleaning), rub some windex on it an slide that fucker down the cart port. Wwile it's drying, get a shit ton of qtips and rub the carts with more windex, drying with the dry end of the qtip. That's how I got all my games working fter I found my old snes. They were filthy as fuck.

where you having the same scrambled graphics problem?

I'm googling snes scrambled graphics and it could be a PPU problem Ram rpoblem?

Bitches weren't even booting. If you have themeans, open the snes and clean everything, the case, the mobo, the cart port, everything. Do the same with the contact points of the cartridge.
