I will get a video later tonight. As for a broken
neck board, this monitor was working perfectly before
I moved it to Zaxxon but, like I said, the game it was
tested on was a horizontal side scroller game.

As for a sync dip switch, I'll have to look and see
but right now I don't know if it has one or where it
may be. I know where the two sets of dip switches are
on the top pcb board.

I noticed something that may make its behavior more
clear. When the game is playing it seems like items
are split. For example, in Zaxxon there is a tank/gun
looking thing that shoots at you. The top and bottom
parts a split apart and in different location onthe
screen. I know video would help describe this. I
will make one later.
