My games are shaking

[mavrick5]

I have just had a chip put in my PS1. When trying to play my backed up games, the screen is shaking so much that I have 3 images of everything on the screen. I was told that this is due to the age of the television. Our TV is about 12 years old.

Is this true?

I am going to try plugging the PS1 into a newer TV (about 2yo) tonight.

Also, what is all this talk about patches, etc. (I am new to this). I have original copies of Spyro 1, 2 and 3 as well as all the Crash Bandicoot games and some other games. Am I correct in assuming that I cannot play a backed up copy of Spryo3?

Any help greatly appreciated.
