Well I've decided to give board repair a go and pulled out an old 1943 PCB I received from someone a few years ago, the game boots and parts of the game look normal however all the player, enemy and power up sprites are either messed up or the wrong sprite all together. I've seen all sprites with jailbars, the right half of the player plane duplicated for the left side of the plane, the shell bullets changing from shells to stars while shooting etc.
If the game is left on for a while however the issue starts disappearing.
On 1943 what is responsible for displaying the sprites? would that be the z80, the eproms or the ram?
Also my PCB seems to be different from the normal one so would mine be a bootleg or a different revision? Most of the text is in Japanese so is this a Japanese board revision?
