Pulled out my MV1ACH for the first time in a little to test a new cart I got and I started coming across graphic issues. One consistant thing across all games I test is that the "Neo Geo" text is missing in the startup screen. Included some pics, anyone able to chime in?

I am thinking L0 rom, or NEO-ZMC2.
L0 handles vertical stretching, but the fact that you get alternating vertical lines on the solid blocks makes me think it's more likely the ZMC2
L0 is an SMD rom on MV1A, so you need a donor or bodge a DIP EPROM, even for just testing, and of course ZMC2 is a custom so you need a donor too, but at least these are common accross many boards.

Thanks for the leads! I do have anothe MV1A that has the calander error so grabbing donor parts shouldnt be too hard, in the meantime I also ordered another mb cheap that was the smaller model just to have it going until I can figure out the issues
