I can play the game fine until I reach this screen on level 2. It seems to always do this or some thing similar only on this level. http://youtu.be/X336A19lC_I

Any ideas on what the problem is??? Is this still an eprom issue?

Thanks!

hello, i have read about this problem. i believe it to be a rom.google..donkey kong technical info... its the braze site..that should help some!!
 
The DK tech site doesn't seem to show the problem I'm having.

Last night I cleaned/swapped out a few chips, and so far (keeping fingers crossed) it passed the first test. I played it for 15 minutes without any issues/glitches.
 
Dirty pins on the ROMs and PROMs are common problems on DK/Jr/3 boards.

Another common problem is corrosion down inside the sockets. If you look down in the sockets with a good light and see corrosion, replace the socket.
 
Today she fired right up with no sprite or playing issues.. Now if I can just make it past the level 3 elevators lol.
