Recently got a Taito cabinet with Final Fight on the CPS-1 board (no suicide). The cabinet was for cheap, but of course torn up. Not to mention the electrical wiring was horrible; a switching power supply was used to replace the bad Taito Power Board, but was just simply tied into the service outlet on the cabinet by just shoving stripped wires in the socket. Even the monitor was just tied to those same wires with no ISO, so I feel that has a lot to do with the issue in this picture.
Half the colors are missing, and its not my monitor! I used a different monitor on my Konami cab that I got a month or two ago....it has a pretty picture =P and an ISO!
Anyways I figured since these boards come in sections so they could be used interchangably when need be. So I already had another Final Fight board that was good. I took the Rom board off the bad one (with that 3rd mini top board) and put it on my good one and the colors were good. So the roms are not the issue, nor is that 3rd mini board!
But of course the game functions, I have a feeling that the monitor's live charge could of messed up some of the components on the main board with the JAMMA edge connector. I've inspected the board some, but see no scorch marks.....figures since its working....
Anyone have issues like this before? Or know of where the issue may lye?
