Hey, everyone. Just stumbled upon this forum, and looking forward to learning a lot.
Mostly out of impulse and curiosity, I just purchased a Tekken 2 arcade PCB from an online store I use frequently. They've been around for a while and are well-established, but this is the first time I've seen them sell arcade hardware. I also picked up an Axumworks Supergun Mini, but otherwise, had all the other analog equipment I needed to get everything hooked up. (Please ignore those "newbie with too much money" fumes...)
When the game boots, there are a number of graphical issues: vertical blue lines across the whole image, distorted sprites, missing artwork, etc. I did some research and it sounds like these sort of visual issues could be caused by bad capacitors. Cleaning the JAMMA connector with 1UP solution didn't help at all, and I don't see any signs of leaking caps or corrosion anywhere. I posted a few pictures - one direct photo, and one of the video output through a scaler - and would like to get confirmation that this is the issue.
The listing has since been taken down, but I'm 99% certain that the PCB was explicitly listed as "working" or I wouldn't have purchased it. The storefront still has a handful of other non-working PCBs up, and they're described and priced as such. Just wanted to confirm from a cabal of experts before I hassle the seller with a return.
Thanks, everyone.
