On Capcom’s Magic Sword for the CPS‑1 board I have graphical glitches on the character sprites. Not on all sprites — for example, the enemy sprites do not have this problem — and only depending on the color settings. See the photos: with color 03H there are no problems; with color 04H the defect appears as vertical lines on the character sprite. The fault is on Board A (the CPU board), because swapping it with another one makes the defect disappear.
Any help/advice would be appreciated!

I've the same issue with my Magic Sword, the A-board is faulty, a dead custom to replace.

In your case, it may be just a dead RAM on A-board, you should check.
