The board itself looks super clean (no broken traces, missing parts, leakage, dry solder joints, ect.......). I cleaned the three ROM chips (and sockets) and reseated them.
Sound & control work perfectly however there are graphic problems :/
PCB runs at 5,25 volt. -5volt and 12volt are there and spot on.
First my PCB then a MAME shot how it should look like:
As you can see a lot of stuff is missing on screen. Some enemies like skeletons, zombies & bats are visible. All the enemies that are not visible can damage you. The first endboss is also not visible (I can't get past this endboss of course so I don't know which errors occur during the following stages).
I found this video online:

And the good man left his repairs in the description
Especially Symptoms 3 and fix 3 looks to be my problem.Symptoms#1 : Game resets in a endless loop (watchdog active)
Fix#1 : Replaced bad 74LS32 @L14.
Symptoms#2 : Now PCB boots but with missing sound effects and graphical corruption.
Fix#2 : Replaced two bad KONAMI MASK ROM 4M-16bit @J5 and @E17 with two 27C400 compatible EPROMs.
Symptoms#3 : Game now has full sound (music+FX) but still graphical issues are present, most of sprites are missing and other have vertical bairs across.
Fix#3 : Replacing both 'M5M4464' DRAM @H4 and @H3 restored graphics competely.
Any ideas ???
Help please.
