I picked up a broken Strikers 1945 PCB and set to work troubleshooting and restoring it. It wouldn't boot because of a missing cap. I cleaned the board, added the cap back, and fully recapped it (long-life 105C rated caps), which got it running minus foreground sprites. It came right back to life after repairing some bad pins on a mask rom and I've been loving the hell out of it.

Great job man, looking good.

I have a Tengai board that is missing sprites on characters and a simpsons board that wont boot, gives me a flashing white screen. You want to try and fix those?! :D
 
Postimg.org is down so the KLOV images are lost, so here are the before pictures:

@Darksoft Could you run a bulk find-and-replace on AP to replace all occurences of the broken postimg.org with the working postimg.cc? That would fix the thousands of pictures that I've uploaded over the past few years. I went through and fixed about 20 of my threads, but there are a lot of random pictures I've posted that will still be broken.
 
UPDATE wbb1_post SET message = REPLACE(message, 'postimg.org/', 'postimg.cc/') WHERE message LIKE '%postimg.org/%'
