Konami X-Men Graphics Problem

[2huwman]

I turned on my 4 player X-Men cab for the first time in a few months, and of course a new issue presented itself! All the sprites have 4 or 5 vertical lines surrounding them, and follow them around as the sprites move. Everything else works fine.

Thanks for any suggestions.

First thing to do is to go into test and do the maskrom check.

Yeh looks rommy to me !

Thanks guys, I'll check that.

Yes you were both right - mask rom error:



1H is soldered to the PCB - do I basically need to replace it with a new chip or can it be reprogrammed?

Replace it with a 27C800 eprom that's programmed with the data from mame. Cut the old maskrom out and desolder each pin one at a time so there's no risk of pcb damage, at least that's how I do it.
