Ok, I know i have posted a thead about my raiden 2 problems

http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115011&referrerid=10721


But I just turned on my board and where before there was nothing, just squares moving up the screen and no sound or response to coin or test switches. NOW it is working, albeit with shaking graphics that vibrate rapidly.

If i could put up with the shaking i could actually play it, but i dont understand what could cause it to be dead one day and semi-working the next?

Does anyone know what the shaking screen could be caused by??

i dont have a meter to check it. Do you think it could be too low?

could this have cause the game to die like it did. not enough power to the processor?

well in the absence of a cab (sold all of mine now :( ) i guess i cant play it, as I have a MAK supergun with one of those sealed external 12v psu thingys.

Grr! pesky 5V!

With your new meter you may be able to fix some of them

Yeah, perhaps!!! Thanks for the info, I was so sure my Raiden 2 was busted, I will check that is in working order, and then probably auction it off. :)
