Here's the deal, I bought a Raiden Fighters cab two weeks ago and a Donpachi PCB from the trade section here last week. Finally got the game today and put it in only to get this:
Sound and controls work just fine but obviously the monitor isn't playing nice. Any idea whats wrong? Off the top of my head I'd guess my monitor isn't compatible and I'm screwed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Some arcade monitor have built-in auto-syncing so you wouldn't have to worry about that. But in your case, mortified_penguin, it is a sync issue at best. Just look for the pot trim adjustment for the h-sync one and slowly adjust it until the screen correctly displays the on-screen graphics to your liking. Easy as pie. ^_~
The more you learn the tricks of the trade when delving into the arcade PCB hobby spectrum, the more knowledgeable you'll become. ^_~

Find the monitor adjustment board and adjust the vertical hold.
It's probably behind the monitor bezel on that cab (..ask the seller).
Raiden Fighters v.sync rate is 54hz, where as Donpachi is roughly 58hz. With any luck you can adjust the v.hold on your monitor just a tad and it will sync with both games w/o having to adjust it every time. Plan on having to make adjustments (contrast, image size, etc) when switching boards though (different hardwares). That is normal.
