Hey guys I have a new board I got and it has a pixel problem or graphic sprit loss if thats what you call it. On the health bar you have pixel loss always and on certain stages it has the same problem and on some characters too. Can the roms be replaced maybe with a broken board or burned? Or is the board toast. The board isnt messed up (no missing components and its authentic capcom with the three layer pcb layout and everything. I know its the board because other games work fine.

This could either be bad ROM's like you suspect, or maybe a bad RAM chip.

To figure it out you could swap ROM's with another SF2 board, or get an EPROM programmer, dump the ROM's and compare them to what MAME has. If they all match perfectly, then it could be a RAM problem, and most programmers have a way to test RAM chips also. If it's not either, then the problem would be harder to find, but not impossible.
