I have a really clean Irem Skins Games (us set 2) that is ...not booting. aka the black screen
Power is good, cab is good with other boards, etc. I was about to start probing but thought, we not check the roms?
Almost all of them are good, except mt20-ho-a and the maskroms @ c0,c1,c2,c4 (sharp LH532 which thanks to https://snescentral.com/chips.php?chiptype=MASKROM and TwistedSymphony's EPRom cross reference, tells me they are 27c2001) and "da" ( ic8 ) (which is a sharp LH534 aka 27c4001) which are all reading as what I believe is EMPTY? (FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF...).
I burned the 4x 27c2001 and the 1x 27c4001, expecting a miracle when I boot the board and ... nada. Same nothingness.
So my question is this: What could have wipe these masksroms?! and what else could it have taken out? (like a PAL?)
...which I guess would not help since mame is saying :
