Hey there, just got a Popeye board that plays okay, but the characters are all weird like they are mutations or something. I've attached a couple of pictures. Olive, Popeye, and Bluto all three have some weird stuff going on.

I figured it might be a connection, so I reseated and cleaned every single socketed chip and reconnected and cleaned all the wire connections, too.

After a little research, I'm guessing this is a ROM chip issue.

Anybody know any quick fixes for this or some advice? I don't have a ROM burner, so how much will that run me to get a set made for this game?

Thanks for any help you can offer.
