Recently acquired this Clutch Hitter System 18 board: I've desuiced the board by replacing A4 & A6 with decrypted ROM's and swapping the processor out for a 68000: The game runs but the graphics are severely corrupted (same as when i first fired it up before desuiciding): Anyone know...

Welcome fellow Kiwi, I joined up a few weeks back, I've also got lots to learn with a few Aliexpress parts also on the water. There's some interesting projects and posts on here. Just about to attempt the MVS cart conversion to Golden Axe i read recently..

I'm in the process of building a test rig and I need to connect the video output from the arcade board to a Chinese converter board. Does anyone know if there's a suitable connector for RGB, Ground, and Sync (see image below), or if I should just solder directly to the pins? Thanks for any help!

Hello everyone, I've been lurking in the background for a while and thought it was about time I registered! I typically collect arcade PCBs from the early '80s to the late '90s. This year, I'm focusing on fixing all the broken stuff, so I'm hoping to get some support from the community here...
