This is a four board set. It came in my Cabaret. The game plays almost 3x speed and the image is the outside thirds of the screen multiple times.

The roll is from before I capped the monitor. This video is old.

The replacement boardset works fine in the cabinet and the power supply is fine.

There is some smoke on the CLK board, as if some of the componets are burned, although I cannot see anything burnt.

Here is the old thread, I stopped working on it when I got an extra board set. I want to get this working again too:

it would be cool to read and save all the roms incase it is a speed up hack that is not yet in the world.

i know darthi8nt is the master of the 4 board stack.
if you give up on it i would PM him.

good luck on the fix.

I would also say there is an issue with the clock and the doubled up / split images are probably caused by a bad counter. Have you looked the boards over real good for broke traces?
