I've searched and found threads on this subject, but I didn't see one that had an actual conclusion. I have one of the earlier REVs that has the screen collapse between P1 and P2. I actually like the way it looks, but there's also a problem where on certain levels, the spot killer kicks in and the screen goes blank for a fraction of a second. In one of the Tempest or WG6100 user faqs it mentions this only happening on the figure 8 levels, but it happens on others as well. In fact, if the X-Y on the board is adjusted so that the image fills up the entire screen (as described in the Tempest manual), it happens on nearly every level. So, I've adjusted it down, but it still happens more than I like. The listed fix for this was to replace the ROMs with REV 3. Has nyone actually done this and can confirm it fixes the collapse issue? Also, it says the REV3 ROMs are 32kb, so there are half as many. Do I just put them in every other soicket (ROMX, 1, 3, etc.)?
