Im sure this is common knowledge to everyone but me lol. I was playing my Games tonight and started a twoplayer game of tempest. I noticed that when it switches players it displays PLAYER ONE or PLAYER TWO and right before the game screen comes back up the PLAYER ONE or PLAYER TWO text looks like its melting like wax toward the bottom of the screen. whats causing that?

It's actually caused by a later rev deflection board on the monitor. They came out with Rev 3 software to correct the problem.

If you have a Rev 3 or 4 board you can strap it for 2732 roms and burn yourself v 3, or you can change out your deflection board.

P314 is the early version, P327 and P339 are the later. Not sure if P327 has the problem but I would assume so.
