Title: Gamemaker CRT color issue
Post by: Phan000 on November 22, 2021, 06:44:04 AM

My gamemaker has an inverted color on bottom right corner of screen.

Only during gameplay, disappears when door is opened, and does not appear in attendant mode.

The red glow is coming from the magnets in the coin mech. 

I tried switching coin mech, but issue persists.

Is there any way to solve this?

You will need to degauss the monitor to remove the color area you are talking about.

3 ways to do that -
A degaussing tool
A drill motor, diy
A gun type soldering gun, diy

I have used a soldering gun with good success.

I am not familiar with the drill motor diy. Might need a magnet. Google if you need too.

PM me if you would like instructions on the soldering gun way if Google doesn't help.
