Are you using the board on a supergun or with a cabinet? maybe there are problems with the power supply?

Regards.

Have you tried adjusting the vertical hold? If you can't get it to sync it's probably a bad PPU on the A or C board....those things die if you look at them wrong.

If you can't get it too sync there is no point in troubleshooting the color ram. Toss it in the dead pile like the rest of us CPS1 collectors :loco:

i tested my power supply ( used in a cab ) i have 4,90 volt and 12volt , 4,90 is not enough? it run perfectly with my 2 slots mvs and hyper 64 board.
i know the tip for vertical hold, nothing to do with this,
bustedstr8 , where are located the chips you talk about? how can i recognise them?

thanks for helping , anyway!

Are you testing at the edge connector or on the components? That's low but probably unrelated to the problem.

EBINSUGAWA,

i tested on the jamma edge and on chips when the board was running, same voltage.
i will try to increase a little bit voltage to 5v , but i don't think that change anything, i' really angry with this board!
best way is to find a cheap cps1 working A board or compatible complete game, and test swapped A boards ?
i looked on ebay but i don't want to spend 130 euros or more for a simple cps1 game like street fighter 2.
maybe xian xi or channel maniac can help, but ship it to them will be a pain ( from belgium...pricey huh..)

I have a working SF2 if you're interested.
