Got this pcb in the mail today has some weird artifacts going on in certain places any ideas? Voltage is fine grounds are fine connector is fine.

completely normal, I've had a board do the same thing. ignore it and play the game :p

in fact now I look at the pictures, the artifacts were in the exact same place also, pixel for pixel.

Changing the +5v on the power supply did nothing either.

my main concern is rom rot.

I don't know what the problem is, but that's definitely not normal. I've owned a few Espgaluda II boards and none of them ever looked like that.

must be a problem with a certain batch then because my off pixels were in the exact same place.

But I've also read comments where the exact same board that exhibited the problem on one cab, didn't do it on another.

Did you sell it yet?

Mine doesn't do that either.

What cabinet and what monitor chassis are you using?

I've heard some SH3 boards have problems with a certain monitor chassis, it happened on an MS9 29A on mine, Ibara never does it though, thats the only other SH3 I've tried.

The more I think about it, the more trouble I have wrapping my head around it.

Just by looking, it seems to be a pixel-level issue. That really doesn't seem like something that could be caused by any monitor/chassis interaction with the PCB.

Mine doesnt do that.

it was a joke.... mine doesn't either and neither did my friends.

Looks like a RAM fault to be honest, or indeed ROM if it never changes.

I presume it has nothing to do with Bloodflower's previous comment about software based screen positions on some different pcbs? : http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=29481

The fault only occurs in certain sections? ... does the glitch appear then disappear? ... how does the glitch behave if/when screen fades/scrolls? ... Is the glitch of the same consistency or does it get worse in certain periods? Does the color of the glitch relate to the color of the base graphic [it does appear to... being the reason I brought up bloodflowers previous suggestion - sampling problem?]

Beyond that, if it does a similar thing on another cab/supergun and screen I'd be tempted to get a refund as soon as possible if its ruining your expereince (probably not what you want to do, but usually better done earlier than later imho).

I just wanted to see if I could upload a video from my phone to Youtube.

It has spread to other areas in the game as well any where there is white text has blue dots in areas. The seller swears is was not like this and offers no help to me what so ever on this issue and basically told me to get Bent. I have since sent the pcb to cave to have it looked at and repaired. Not to turn this thread into bs but i asked the seller to help me cover some of these costs and i got got the shaft basically. Live and learn i guess.

Tonk i have not sold it as its a keeper for sure.

Dave it does this on all 3 of my astros and both of my cyber leads. Of course there all ms8-ms9's

I checked with Luca and the GFX ROM does NOT contain any of these artifacts.

This was checked on Espgaluda II, "2005/11/14 MASTER VER"

kernow · Post by **kernow** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 3:27 pm

It never spread on mine, was just as you showed in the pictures for months but never get any worse.

Board came back yesterday and appears to be in good shape. Thanks for the help guys. Thanks Kern for bitch slapping me around

But it is for sale now the dodgy sale to me and the sour ending of more money kinda turned me off to the board.
