Mr Do!

Blank screen, Blanking line to output colour proms always enabled. Trace back to 74161 in timing circuit – output stuck, input clock all look OK – replace chip and picture appears.

Blue video only – The video lines are controlled by three transistors near the edge connector, checking these revealed that 2 were not giving any output although inputs were changing. replaced these and full colour restored.

If you put a Mr Do in a normal Jamma cab, then the picture will be upside down. This can be solved many ways, but one is to change the program code – If you wish to use Mr Do in a standard vertical Jamma cab, then you need to Click Here to get the updated images.

    Capacitor burnt. (game board), particularly at C37 the capacitor was showing signs of extreme heat. Replaced them all with 22uF 25V axial electrolytics. No Speech / Some SFX missing. (game board) Output from speech chip SC01 was OK, as was output from IO Custom (X3). checked transistors in output stage and 2N4401 was faulty. (Q2)…

    The board originally failed to get into the game, instead resetting just after drawing the ‘MISSILE COMMAND’ logo. Test mode faired a little better, managing to report RAM OK, MAP OK and ROM OK before resetting. Ram and Rom checked out OK using the Fluke. Measuring various CPU signals revealed that the interrupt seemed very…

    Ran through self test OK, came up with chequer board screen and then reset most of the time. Occasionally would start game, but with credit noise continually playing and credits rapidly counting upwards. This is caused by CPU 4 (E5) not running properly. checked the eprom and ram (C5,D5 and E5) and ram was faulty….

    Altered Beast – Colours missing, no reds, other colours looked like diminished palette (like windows in 16 colours) – used test mode to perform ram test, and one ram chip identified as faulty (I10). Replaced this and red was back, but still reduced pallette. Looking at colour circuit, and it uses resistor arrays driven by I11…

    One of the guns on a Time Crisis 2 was no longer registering shots on the screen. Following checks on wiring, cleaning lens, etc. it appeared that the optical sensor (opto) was dead. This is a small PCB in the gun, 2421961100, pictured above. I couldn’t find any schematics or information about the parts used,…
