UPDATE --
After reading the tips from RabbitTroop, Xian Xi and Wyo _vr4
I separated the legs that were jointly soldered and reflowed them best I could (first return to electronics\PCB soldering in 15 years)
I also cleaned the board a bit again as it seemed....sticky....yup insert imagination here.
swell as cleaning the contacts again but still only with electronics contact cleaner as Brasso and DeOxit still in mail.
Results attempts -
1st -Game plays perfect sound and all then crashes to a grid screen after first round
2nd-Game plays perfect but crashes after second round to green screen
3rd Resart- Game plays perfect up to 4th fight when Terry puts BillyKane through a speaker for the win with a Power Geyser and game crashes.
----I reclean board and contacts again and examine solder and then replace cart back in to 6slot MVS again------
4th-Game plays perfectly and Billy Kane whoops my ass over and over and over again(play time 45mins)
Tested game agin this morning seems fine. I hope this is the final verdict but i will use Deoxit when it arrives this weekend.
Thanks for getting me to this point I really do appreciate the help.
Usually two bridged pins is a problem, but here it's fine. The bridge is on an unused hi-z data line.
Thats more useful info thank you.
I'd fix it either way since I see scratches between the joints and if the trace that runs between them is scratched then it would be shorted to those two pins as well and would affect a low data line on V2.
Fix it and if the problem is still there upload higher res pics.
I believe you were correct in you assessment there was a mark below the solder between the other 2 legs to the right which was right on top of a trace i cleaned it best iI could with my copper braid and iron.
Cleaning should be done by hand only with a light brush. NEVER use a dish washer, that can leave build up residue from a weak rinse. I restored a completely damaged Metal Slug 3 mvs that had this dish washer look to it. It no longer has graphical issues.
I use hippie home made Dishwasher detergent in my Machine could that be the problem ?
Is the music rhythmically correct, or are some instruments perfectly fine? I suspect that the samples (instruments like the guitar, piano, drums, etc) sound bad while other ones (synth leads, bass) are fine since they are synthesized on the YM2610. If it is like that, but the voices all sound okay (for the most part) then probably this is an addressing problem on the sound ROM. If all samples including voices and SFX are scratchy or annoying then it may be a data path problem. Compounding the situation is the possibility of both.
the music sound like there was interference like not tuning in a Radio station well or being to close to a military or rescue tower with feedback. The voices from what I could hear over the choppy loud music were fine and the FX sounds were good as well. the graphics were perfect to memory
