Would an audio amp cause a board to not boot?
Well I ruled out the inductor as the issue. I might have an issue with one of the audio amplifiers
Also subbed. We should start a dead battletoads club.
I just picked up a working one ($300 plus shipping ouch). Should be in soon and can compare to see what is faulty with the board. Ill keep you posted.
I'm wondering if these have a time bomb on them like the CPS2 games. If I recall correctly there is a battery on the PCB. Could be there for more than just saving operator adjustments.
Now that I think about it I should have compared the ROMs on your board to the MAME archive. Perhaps the MAME ROMs are decrypted bypassing whatever might have failed because of a bad battery.
Maybe...
I was thinking the same thing and checked the battery when I first received the board. The battery was at 3.6v. Im going to double check to make sure.
I checked it too. Doesnt mean that it wasnt swapped out before you got the board though.
Makes you wonder.
