OK so the first board I have is a 2 Board Donkey Kong, basically the characters will sparkle in and out. Kong Has lines going through him and there are times that Jump-man will disappear like at the bottom of the stairs.

The Second board is Captain America and the Avengers. Everything is fine except the characters are muffled everything else will play fine.

My question is for both boards I cleaned every rom and Edge Connector, does this sound like a bad roms issue? And if so what roms on Donkey Kong 2 board set and Captain America is used for Characters so that I can order the replacements?

Thank you all this is the best forum ever.

try the simple things first, clean rom legs and reseat roms, usually works for issues like that. Try that first.

Riptor will probably know, and have the roms for that board and he is local to us.
 
Before I posted I went through every Rom and Cleaned and re seat them both still have issues.

Usually when I pull roms to clean the legs, I also verify them in the programmer. Once they verify then I look at the ram for the character and usually replace them. If that doesn't work then I start to look at the supporting chips and clock signals to the ram chips. You probably have ram issues and replacements usually fix this.

Also try doing a search for repair logs and you will find lots of good info for them games.
 
for the DK it sounds like this is the possible issue.



if you need it repaired hit up darthi8nt.

This was very helpful thank you. Does anyone know what roms control the characters on captain America and the avengers?

Depends on what you mean by 'characters'. Are you referring to characters, as in the 'characters' of the alphabet? Or characters as in Captain America is a 'character' in the game?

As 'character' is an ambiguous term, it is common to refer to 'tiles' and 'sprites' when discussing different types of graphic objects.
