Hey guys, I just took delivery of a Swords Of Fury. Game plays completely correct, but I have a few issues.
1: The game is outputting all the appropriate sound effects and dialogue/voice, but there is no music. I've confirmed via a bunch of youtube videos what it should sound like, and everything is accurate except there is absolutely no music (it's not quiet, it's just not there at all). Another odd thing is that sometimes when starting it up I am getting a loud buzzing (not like the quiet buzz/hum it normally has). Changing the volume makes the buzzing louder (as well as the voice/dialogue)
-This problem was there with the previous owner.
-I installed new sound board and new driver/cpu board, both with new roms...problem is still there. I initially thought it was just a fried rom, but that seems to not be the case. Both boards purchased from K's Arcade (http://ksarcade.net/), Rottendog CPU board and Williams NOS Audio board, both with new roms installed by K's.
-Checked continuity on the wiring and it all seems to be good as far as I can tell. I jiggled the wires in their seats to double check that, but they seem solid. I also jiggled the wires on the volume pot and no change.
2. The previous owner also stated that the 4 panel display was garbled (yet still receiving information). I confirmed this, and replaced the display with the appropriate Xpin LED display. The problem is still there.
-I checked continuity on the entire wiring harness and it seems good, also jiggled the wires and no changes. Problem is the same when I reconnect the old display.
-I can see the entire two bottom panels, but some of the digits are randomly faded a bit darker than the normal ones (but are still faintly visible). The top two are basically just displaying pieces of what is supposed to be there (it scrolls, and changes what is in each digit, but it's unreadable)
-I can get into the menus and pretty much figure out what I'm changing, as that is in the lower two panels.
Fuses are all good. I have made no changes to the power or aux power boards (could this be the problem?). Game plays completely fine otherwise.
Any help would be great! Thanks.
