Hey everyone, just resubmitting this post. I don't know if it helps doing so, but here it is. thanks!
I fixed this guys coffee mat star battle for the most part. Lots of things board wise wrong with it. Might have been lightning or who knows what. Anyways, I've fixed I\O problems, sound problems and down to one last thing. One of the roms output pins isn't behaving properly and the IC itself is getting hot. I can't keep it on to do much troubleshooting so not to further damage the chip. I've tried reading the chip and programmer says it reads fine but....either it's reading wrong or it's programming the one wrong. I have a feeling it isn't reading it properly since it's getting hot. Does anyone have the correct rom file or can someone read theirs and send me a file. I'll happily pay.

thanks a million!

any chance you had a chance to get your coffee mat up and running?

thanks!
