I'm a little baffled. I won a ebay auction last month for some MCR III boards for my discs of Tron. I got one set right now that was a 'Root Beer Tapper' which I've burned and swapped roms so DoT would work. And I still get the graphics glitch. I get my boards in the mail today and as I look at the MCR Cpu III its much larger than the one for Root Beer Tapper / DoT. The new board has Spy Hunter Eproms in it. Can I assume I can use this CPU in DoT. The model number on the board is A080-91442-M000. Googling doesn't show any information for this CPU. Any input would be wonderful.

I've seen that one multiple times. To me It says it will work. I don't think the cpu that I got originally will work for DoT but somehow it boots to an attract screen. The CPU board looks like the ones you put in Tron machines. Where as the new one I got is huge! With Spyhunter roms... Anyone with DoT post me a picture of what your board set looks like... I'll post a picture today of what I got.

did the root beer tapper pcb work?

I was looking at the page, and I thought timber was the same boardset as tapper.. Timber is a future project, so that has me a bit confused too.

Root beer tapper should be the same pcb as regular tapper.

tapper, Spyhunter and discs of tron should have a slightly larger rear boards compared to the top board.

Bet I can do right now is this long shot pics of discs of tron.

Pcbs should stack offset left and right a bit. Hard to see in the pic, but top board is equal to middle board on the right side, but its about 1" smaller on the left.
 
Thanks for that shot. From what I'm seeing I may have either the wrong video board ... I got a MCR III super video board. Grrr... Maybe thats why I see lines though my sprites...

Atleast I can see how the game goes together too... Mine was gutted all the way..
 
getting discs of tron ready for cax is my next project. Probably going to work on it on saturday. So I can take better pics of it if you need to see something.
