@RndMnkIII Have you pulled all the chips and re-socketed to see if anything changes? Bad PAL might cause it too. PP/PP2 boardsets are a pain to chase down - this is a good repo for how to work through troubleshooting: https://t.co/gnTgyiEtkn

@pr4m0d @brandonarnold Great work and thanks for documenting the fix!

[Joe Spinelli @joespinelli]

@ObsoleteSony Yep

[Joe Spinelli @joespinelli]

@StrikeMist @Voultar In short, yes. In practice, cycle-accurate doesn’t always mean output-accurate… that comes down to the video/audio output chain tied to the FPGA and how faithful they are to the target system. Any multi-system platform makes compromises here.

@ScarletSprites @savetheCRTs_ @liretroimports “While you’re in there can I get a quick ohm reading?

[Joe Spinelli @joespinelli]

@ScarletSprites Oof. Dust washer placement aside, would you rather find a bad wico or a functional battop?

[Joe Spinelli @joespinelli]

@DigitalEclipse Awesome. Let’s get wordtris in next!

[Joe Spinelli @joespinelli]

@DigitalEclipse Wordtris someday, maybe?

@kurohouou Wow - looks great! Now for some mis-convergence in the corners :)

@usa_retro This is a good case to invest in the B&K meter or similar for discharges. You can reassign the big screwdriver to a more exciting role (the G07 filter cap)

@SlopesGameRoom This is rad. Makes me want to do a derby owners club-style setup

@ScottBonz What a world

@whoisJayOhh @ScarletSprites Issues with these are all $100-$400 problems max (PSU/PCB/CRT). Plenty of parts avail. Tbh the biggest problem is finding a buddy you need a favor from to haul it - they are super heavy even by arcade cab standards.

@andrewparker old banking habits die hard. my fingers are still hard-wired for a set of long-unsupported Windows macros.

@DisplacedGamers well done! always assumed it was some sort of necessary slider animation artifact.

[Joe Spinelli @joespinelli]

@premdawg @NoEscalators @JoeDSports Yes! I only remember it getting radio airplay but definitely had the play by play clips in it
