I got a vs upright cab. The PCB had the Rp2A03 on the on P1 side with no other roms and SMB roms with a Rp2A03 on the P2 side. I removed the Rp2A03 rom from the P1 side now the SMB will not come on. Bad thing is I sold the Rp2A03 Rom to a friend thats 300 miles away and just figured out my game won't work now. I have swapped the Rp2A03 to the P1 side but the game still won't come on. After researching on here it looks like I need 2 RP2A03s on the PCB for SMB to work. I plan on going to the Winston Salem Auction SAT. If anybody thats going to it on here that would meet up and sell me one that woud be great!!!

Matt, I did that the game plays although there are graphic errors like jail bars on the monitor. Any idea what that might be?

No, sorry. Could be RAM or addressing... that's a tough one to remotely diagnose. You could try posting a pic an maybe someone more familiar with repairing those boards could steer you in the right direction.
 
Do you have another chipset from another game? Populate the other side with another game, and it will work.

I did this when I had the Vs switcher installed in my UR and had no issues with SMB.
 
I have another Chipset but don't have a ppu or ppi for them. Just put those on the other side of the board?

Yeah, the PPU only controls the colors so you should be fine.

EDIT: What do you mean by PPI?
