Hi!
I have an MVS 1F that I bought as a parts console.
TLR It has blocky graphics and it is missing the sprites/ corrupted graphic issue + Bios music keeps looping with no background music. S
1) Cleaned the board and took a fiberglass pen to the areas of corrosion around the board.
2) Removed old battery and CR2032 battery modded it
3) Put Diag bios in and used a Diag cart and all tests passed.
4) Unibios popped in and it works and gets to the main screen of the 161 in 1 (And other games)
a. Where things start to go wrong is when I actually select a game
b. Bios music loops over and over, sound effects work but there is no music
c. Graphics get super corrupted and Its like I am playing an atari game where one of the Sprites is a block and I am fighting another block (I can see some overlayed sprites like health meter on SVC Chaos
5) Cleaned the cart slot with DeOxit and a credit card/paper (Super dirty)
a. No fix
I ordered a z80A because I am wondering if that could be the issue?

Didn't see my exact graphic issue.
I'd think I'd have a RAM issue and it would be called out via the Diag bios. Even cycled a few times and it kept passing the test
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thinking it could be a z80 or graphics chip. (Hope its not like a B0 or larger SMD IC... but, hey, its all in practice so no harm or fear if it is)
Any help is appreciated! You all rock!
Thanks
