Hopefully it's just a socket issue with one of the chips. Reseat all those chips on the video board and inspect/clean legs as needed. And, make sure you have 5V on both boards. You have two power supplies and they both need to be working.

My PPII had a garbage on the screen at boot and it turned out to be a couple of bad custom chips which was not easy to figure out for me. I had to send the board out.

Well, typical "bullet proof" mods for Pac-Mans are repinning the edge connector, replacing the fuse holders, rebuilding the power supplies on the PCBs, and capping the monitors. Do you need to do all of that? Probably not.

For Nintendo cabs, typically you just have to cap the Sanyos. The original PSUs are typically pretty reliable.

Once you cap that CRT, it's gonna last forever. Especially in a home situation. Don't worry about it.

Have you looked at Phoenix Arcade?

I agree that original is better, though.

That's a cool game! I tried that in MAME before. I like it. NICE SCORE>

Yes, the MAME roms should do it. They were dumped from the original PCBs.

Laws? Are there laws against selling digital or TOS created by sellers like Steam?

If you're REALLY interested in starting with the basics, then getting a FANTASTIC understanding of what's going on within these CRTs, sink your teeth into Randy Fromm's 4 part series on CRT Monitors:

Agree! I watched every minute of those videos. I learned a lot!
