    MV-1 FZ not completing bootup

    Got this one with color ram error that i fixed by replacing the ram, but it just sits on a black screen, as if pause dip is set. It goes _thru_ the green screen and does not sit on a calendar error or perhaps it does, but there's no message.. The unit appears to wait for something, which...

    Blast City MS2930.. HOT burns up, help :)

    I hate HV. Still, looking at this for a friend, he needs his vertical cave shooting fix... :) This is a MS2930SE chassis as noted on the tube, with no OSD but everything is done with pots & dips to set it 15/24/31K etc. The horizontal output transistor burned up when he turned it on a day ago...

    Blue's Journey - no sound

    Wondering what can cause this.. 1. Looking at the boards, it seems the M1 rom is wired directly to the cart edge with no logic in between, am i right? 2. Am i correct in thinking, a dead mask rom will cause the z80 not to do much.. So it would not play samples, or music or anything? 3. Any...

    Repopulating PROGBK1?

    I have a very badly broken Pulstar PROGBK1 board which seems to have issues with the PCM chip that are beyond my skill to repair / replace / swap. (The mask roms on it are fine though, i desoldered & dumped them to verify.) I looked at a donor board to replace this one, i have a TWS96 but there...

    Final Fight B-Board - Use 4x eprom instead of broken mask rom?

    So i'm looking at this Final Fight board for a friend of mine, and today i got my TOP3000 in the mail,and i dumped the mask roms to verify. I read the HN62404P (FF32M-8h) as MX27C4100 and this worked fine for all the other mask roms on the board, except the one a 8H.. So i guess it means the...

    4-Slot GFX error on all slots?

    I've repaired a fair bit of stuff in my time, but this 4-slot has me a bit stumped today.. It has a single gfx error on all carts i tried, on all slots. This shows up as a vertical line in all graphics. ('Sprites' seem fine). Here's a pic on the Nazca logo for BTG: I checked both boards...

    Anybody with Irem M72 board expertise?

    So, i've got this Dragon Breed M72 board, and heard that it can take other rom sets.

    Neo Bios question

    I've owned a 6-slot for a while, and a mini 1 slot. I took a closer look at the bios chips today to see if i could fit a uni-bios in there. Turns out my 6 slot has a snk-eprom SP1 bios in it, and my 1-slot a snk rom with SP2. I remember someone selling this SP2 bios on ebay claiming it allowed...
