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.

    No picture, Hole blown through LOPT. Had problems tracking down replacement – little tip given to me by Hantarex engineer – you can use the LOPT from an MTC9000 as long as you cut pin 2 off. (If you leave it connected, you will get a direct short to GND)
