[ukvac] Mortal Kombat tech...Help!
Just acquired a Mortal Kombat...original Midway boards in generic cab...
Gameplay is fine...the problem is with the sound...
SYMPTOMS:
Sometimes, when switching on, you get a brief burst of intro music, the rest of the time, nothing...
I have yet to hear ANY 'correct' sound during gameplay...you just get a variety of things:
1. Nothing
2. A continuous tone
3. A continuous 'synth-like' note
4. A continuous or sporadic 'buzz'
NB: All connections *seem* to be OK.
Running the onboard diagnostics generates similar anomalies:
1. NONE of the diagnostic tunes play AT ALL.
2. Sometimes, you hear a continuous 'buzz' (as above), sometimes not.
3. Sometimes, when switching between sound diagnostic options it will generate the correct 'switching' & 'select' tones as the joystick is moved...other times, nothing at all...
I have tried resetting the machine, checking the connections, etc, but that's about it so far. Any suggestions?
Regards
Alan
