Title: Minty Gyruss board troubles
Post by: jessiewonka on May 28, 2015, 11:32:22 pm
A minty nice board arrived from a KLOV user, but my first tests are showing this:

When coined up the screen redraws removing the Gyruss title but no game play.

Hoping it's an easy fix, loose rom, something obvious, but so far I've not been able to make a difference.

I pulled all the chips on both boards, including the Konami chips twice, cleaned with an eraser, watched the screen as I pressed on chips and the board. Zero difference. : /

Can't believe I'm looking for a fourth time for a board! The first is likely beyond my skills, at least for now. The second was a boot, sent back. This was the third, and for the cost I really wanted it to be ready to go.

IF I find one for you, its gonna f' ing work when it gets to your house.
Lemme check around this week.

on a lighter note..  you might send one of those to get shotgunned by Eldorado games or something.
I know ,, I know.. it might cost. but still better safe then sorry.

Haha, thanks man. : )

If I run into another long dry spell I may just do that with the original board that came with the cab.

What is the original board? Is it legit? What's going on with it. I know gyruss pretty well and might be able to help.

The first board, the original, is the one we discussed here: http://www.johnsarcade.com/forum/index.php?topic=2200.0

The second board was a boot, returned.

The third board was this thread, returned.
