I working with a know good PS (from another game) and a know good monitor.
When I boot my Donkey Kong 3 it does some weird things.
Sometime it boots normal..then flips and locks up.
Sometimes it boots flipped and just stays there (locked up)
Basically any time the screen flips the game locks up
If I let the game sit (locked up) for 5-10 minutes the next boot always boots normal
When it finally comes up normal the game will play fine (for days) as long as you don't shut it off..then you play he game of booting it until it boot normal again
The self tests (RAM and ROM) come up fine
I've reseated all the socketed chips on the boards..the ribbon cable and the rainbow cable
I've been to brasington site and read over his "flip" page but know pertain to the DK3 board
It sounds like a power issue as i would image the board pulls the most power at boot
Any ideas?
