[ukvac] supergun problems
I've got a guy with a supergun who says the screen wont hold (ie rolls) on his SFII but all his other boards are fine, also SFII works ok in his cab. Ever come across this ?

You mean youve never had this problem in all the pcbs youve dealt?
Some put out sync at slightly "wrong" frequencies. TVs/Amiga monitors
are set to accept a certain range of sync. If the signal is a little low
or a little high for this range, you have to tweak the presets inside the
set to get it lined up. I have a few that do this, and a second monitor
with the internal controls a little more accessible, so I can check the
board is actually OK. This is not a problem in a cab, where youd expect
to have to do a little setting up, but on a TV or SCART monitor, things
arent always as simple.
Konami boards seem to be the worst offenders on my rig.

Most people who buy our boards dont use them in superguns !. I have a supergun but have never had this problem, could it be something to do with the TV, eg some tv's handle it better then others ?

Pete is right in the first instance, some TV's and monitors (especially
amiga monitors) only accept a certain frequency range, when i first
converted my commodore 1085s monitor for use with my supergun no games at
all would hold, apart from 'The Final Round' (which is pants anyway ...

I opened it up and found the pot relating to the hold and messed about with
it until i got a stable picture on at least 3 boards... I now have close to
40 fully working boards, and they all work flawlessly...

So, solution? Unless your friend is willing to prize open his set and tweak
the pot, I suggest he gets another telly.. If he has a cheap make of telly
then there's your problem, i wouldn't trust a SSangYong, or Daewoo, or
Thompson, or Hitachi I've found them to be on the whole exactly what they
are sold as. Cheap and cheerful, but that's just my observation That
really is the only solution..

seeya!
