I bought a Violent Storm PCB at eBay and found the "behaviour" a bit strange.
The range of the grabs and sometimes even normal punches is to wide.
For example, I often grab enemies that are not even visible on the screen and I don't mean because my sprite is at the border of the screen, but this happens even if I am positioned at the center of the screen.
This looks kind of ridiculous, because the enemy sprite seems to warp into my grab.

In Mame this problem does not occure. Can it be that this is because of the Rom Version? (Asian AAB. Mame Rom has AAC)
Does somebody own an asian AAC version too and can confirm the same problem?´
I hope this is not a hardware problem. :-(
 
Thank you for the fast reply. Unfortunately I don't own an eprom burner to verify the eproms.
In test mode they pass the mask rom check though.
Do you rule out a hardware problem? If so I would buy some eproms with the AAC version from someone I know. :)

maybe somebody near you can dump the roms and test them to get the checksums for them.

You need to know that the program is good B 4 you start testing for hardware problems. Without a good working program the hardware may or may not be working as it should.
 
Thanks.
I will try to find someone or maybe I will buy an eprom burner.
I guess as an arcade collector this is a good investment.

It is very good for testing the program roms and verifying the data in them. If you do get a burner then look at an eraser also. Many are going with GQ-4X and works good but there are some of us who will not give up the old Needhams pb-10 programmer.
