Hi,
I'm looking at a Spider-Man board that has a strange issue. It plays voice samples out of place (you hear "Hawk Eye!" when you throw an enemy for example)

All sounds and music are present and correct, it's purely a voice issue. All ROMs have verified good.

I want to replace the PAL on the ROM board to rule it out but there is no dump of it. Does anyone have a 315-5442 ?
 
I have the Spider-Man here if you need anything.
 
Will be a faulty ASSP or 5385 addressing chip.

Sadly spares are in short supply (got 4 here that work great with no / bad sound)

Same problems with system 18 but no 5385 to go wrong on there.
 
I've got a donor board here I can use with a bad 5385 if the ASSP is shot. Is the ASSP or the 5385 the more likely culprit?
 
50 / 50
It could be a 'regular' problem like dead lines but never is sadly on this board.

Also there's 2 types of ASSP make sure the silkscreen 'IC ID' (pinout) match from the donor.
 
Yeah I've run into dead 5385 multiple times :( didn't realise something as minor as what I'm getting here might be that but it makes sense.

I remember looking and noticed they weren't on a Mega Drive or anything common :(
