Ok well I have a backup board for my hypersports, that has always kind of worked, but had weird sounds, messed up high scores and such. But it played fine.
so tonite I get a hair up my a$$ to pull all the socketed chips clean the legs, blow air in the mounts on the boards and see if that helps.
well on one of the chips I found 2 bent legs, bent flat to the rom, so there was no way that they had been inserted properly. sweet I think, there is my problem.
well I continued cleaning the rest of them, and put the one with bent legs back in properly.
Now it's worse! characters standing in the wrong place. Cannot even enter my initials properly. what gives?
