I think that I am having problems with the character rom on an original DD board. This is what is happening:

The board was working earlier today and when I hooked into the arcade monitor this started happening. Is this a rom issue that can be remedied? I was really hoping to the this unit restored back to it's original shape.
 
I just picked up a double dragon board that looks a lot like that, only a little worse. On mine the title screen looks perfect, but then that happens during game play. I figured I had some bad roms, I was gonna try to buy a broken board and swap them. I hope the guys here can help you. They really know their stuff.
 
I'm in the DFW area down in TX. Any takers?

I'm told it's a 6116 RAM issue. Now if I could just spot them on a 20+ year old board.

They're about the same size a ROMs, probably soldered to the board, and will say something to the effect of 6116-15 or maybe another part number. 6116s are common and had a lot of crosses... of course, I can't think of a single one off the top of my head right now for some reason...
 
Oh good. Can you post a pic or something?

Would it be easier to just replace the board at this point?
