Hi All - first post here!
I got a Street Fighter 2 (Turbo) cabinet that I have been restoring and it's been a lot of fun!
I bought some additional arcade boards on ebay and have been messing around with them and ran into a weird issue.
I have put SF2 (the original board in the cabinet) and Soul Calibur in and hooked it up with no issues. Over the weekend I put in "Marvel vs. Capcom" on the CPS2 hardware and while everything works just fine, the monitor is very "wavy" - and it wasn't this way on the previous two boards.
I think the CPS2 hardware is fine as I have a 20" CGA CRT at home and it looks fine on that (no waviness).
I looked at the chassis this morning on the 25" tube and it's a WEI-YA and looks fairly new - I was expecting/hoping that the chassis board would be old and I could do a cap kit and get it working as my google searches said that waviness was usually a cap issue.
But the real question is - is it common to see video issues like this vary board to board, and what steps can I take to figure out why the CPS2 hardware (tried a different A/B board as well - same result) is giving me wavy video?!
Thanks in advance!
Matt
