did you check them against known good dumps? see if the checksums matchreflowed all the C roms and CMC and got no difference. I started pulling the roms and checking them. I find it interesting that with any C rom removed parts of the image are lost over the whole image. Makes me think the CMC is seeing every C rom. decoding properly only when all C roms are plugged in.

You can socket the board.I see you've completed the majority of them so you may as well finish.awbacon - is there a good place to get confirmed good dumps? I've been checking against the mame version
Big bear- vancouver canada yes its a mvs cart.
I started socketing the roms but it seems like a tight fit. Is it as good idea to socket on this board?

ouchQuick update. Pulled out 5 of the 8 C roms and they're all good so far. ran out of solder wick so will have to wait till I get some more. Getting scared they're all good but will see. 3 more to go...
Thanks for the offer big bear. Will def hit you up if I find a bad one. I also have a bad king of fighters 2000 with an exploded crc chip. let me know if you have one of those, and what price if so.

If you need a replacement CHAFIO,let me know.I can leave it populated with the KOF'99 roms already in place.Update. Pulled all the C roms and they're all reading back good. Gonna check the traces again but it seems to be another bad NEO-CMC...
