Thanks for the feedback on that. It's a good possibility. These old components seem pretty hardy. I might bust out the air compressor for this task :-D

I have an Atari Dig Dug board that's a bit rusty and crusty. The PCB looks fine but a lot of the DIP chips have corroded pins. When I initially got it, it wouldn't boot. I've slowly been getting it back to operational order, but my troubleshooting skills are limited. All of my ROM chips should...

Picked up a MK II PCB knowing it was broken as something to provide a challenge to learn how to troubleshoot a jamma pcb. Was it a smart move? Probably not, but hopefully I can still make it into a good learning experience. I do not yet have an oscilloscope, so I haven't done any testing of...

I recently completed a Pang!3 conversion to Final Fight. After working around issues caused by myself, it's running great. However, it highlighted an issue with my long A Board that I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting. I also have a CPS Dash board for my SFII CE. I'm not seeing the...

@ack You're the man. The capacitor at C55 got squished by a Taito F3 system + cartridge because I have less than optimal storage conditions. One leg is pulled out, but bending it back got the board to boot. So apparently it wasn't the capacitors after all. So I guess yay, but also I'm am dumb...

Thank you for that response! I finally got my test rig setup in my shop. I checked all of the 74 logic chips on the board and they're all pulling 5.1 volts. I don't have any better voltage control at the moment as I'm running a pico-atx power adapter to an el cheapo supergun "cbox" breakout...

I see the other WWF Wrestlefest thread below, so if this post needs integrated into that post, please do so. I just didn't want to hijack someone else's thread. So I had a working WWF Wrestlefest, but the audio had a horribly annoying buzz (Interestingly enough, I picked up another one for a...

I did end up lifting the chip and re-soldering it and all I got for my effort was nothing but a black screen :P For the size of the chip, I don't feel like I applied excessive heat or applied heat for too much time and I definitely didn't lift any traces. I'm just going with that the chip was...

Minor update. I haven't had a chance to make a video, but I don't think that there is any sprite render/rom data issues. With the exception of one potentially flaky pin on one of the rom chips (although I did get it to read on my T56 after fiddling with it and I'll re-burn a copy once I get...

I'm trying to troubleshoot a Street Fighter II CE board. I pulled and dumped all of the roms on the B board and they match the parent MAME set (with some minor variation in ROM naming like roms #'s being swapped???). However, I'm not familiar with the bodge wire C-Board modification. I've seen...

Absolutely. That looks like a fantastic recommendation. Thank you!

I'm just posting here to share my thanks and gratitude to those who shared images and information relating to this conversion. I was able to successfully convert a Jan Jan Paradise to Cyvern and it's awesome. That being said, this likely is the most shoddy, embarrassing...
