Picked up an ex-Popeye that's been converted into at least 6 other Unisystem games through it's life, even has a lightgun bracket on it, but when I hook up my Dr. Mario board, I get blinky brown screen, like a NES going through power-on/reset cycles if there was a dirty cart in it.
I put Dr. Mario back in the dedicated Unisystem cab, and it works fine. Huh? Vs. SMB and Vs. Tetris both work FINE in the Ex-Popeye! I don't get it. Looks like the PSU is wired differently and the edge connector for the bottom appears to be wired differently as well.
Am I risking my boards by doing crap like this, and is there enough difference between the way these two cabs should be wired that Dr. Mario wouldn't work while the rest would!?
