Title: Strikers 1945 missing sprites Post by: jessiewonka on March 21, 2015, 07:07:01 pm Just received this board in the mail, which looks in good condition, and sold as 100% working. I tried reseating roms but nothing helps, it just stays like this.

Great choice on a game tho. It is one of my fave shooters Title: Re: Strikers 1945 missing sprites Post by: jessiewonka on March 22, 2015, 01:15:44 pm Well we'll see how I do, next to no soldering experience, and just ordered my first gun. Can't be too hard right! : )
