Hi folks;
I've got a Spy Hunter i've been messing with forever. Power supply puts out good voltages, I've got 5.1 volts at the chips on the board stack. I cleaned all the chips and reseated them, and bought new SCSI cables from Bob Roberts and installed them.
Game plays great, and passes self test (I guess, it just cycles through the color screens?)... but when you're playing, every few seconds a piece of the background shows up in the wrong place. For instance you'll be driving down the road and they'll be a tree in the road! Little blocks of the background in the wrong area. Makes it pretty hard to play!
Any ideas? I've heard the CPU pcb controls the backgrounds. Does this sound like a Ram problem the self test wouldn't pick up?
