My XEXEX board just arrived in the mail, sold as tested working, but apparently not tested very well.
There are some missing graphics layers in the background, and some wierd glitches- if you power up enough, there's talking everytime you shoot. A male voice speaking japanese.
I know it's probably hopeless, but does anyone have any input on this?
I cleaned the edge as well as turned up the 5v, the rom test turns up OK.
I would sure love to fix this board rather than send it back.
Broken XEXEX board, any help?

I don't know if roms can be swapped to change between versions, but the difference between them is certainly important - the US/Euro version has a crappy energy bar and most of the weapons are absent, ruining the game i would say.
dpful: I don't have anything helpful to add, but I did buy a board from ebay seller yaton/y-plus technologies which played a long speech sample from one of the later cutscenes every time a weapon was fired - a male voice speaking japanese. I wonder if it's the same board, or maybe it's a common fault? Anyway I sent it back for a refund and I recommend you do the same, you'll find another soon as it's not exactly a rare game.

It has definitely got to be the same board.
That's bullshit that you sent it back and they sold it again as tested/working isn't it? Here's hoping that it was just a mix-up. I hope you got your refund OK-- I sent it back last week and am awaiting my own refund. They were very nice about it- said to just send it back and they would refund the money plus the return shipping.
I love the game, and am looking for another one.

Good luck - Xexex is infamously unreliable.
