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.

    Glitched graphics. Screen changes as board is flexed. Moved around board pressing chips until pressing the custom surface mount chip at B6 changed the effect. Noticed that the corner most pins had come up from the board. After an unsuccessful effort to resolder them, I used some enameled 38 swg wire to solder from the…

    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…

Chip select signals to these were toggling as expected, so I needed to identify which ram chip was which….

    Missing Chip. This was a converted moon cresta board. The IC at 1.2S (shoehorned in sideways between rows 1 and 2 by the sprite ram) was missing. This was not featured on any schematics I had, so I traced the connections to see what it could be. It basically takes the output from the sprite…
