Re: Space Duel Missing Thrust and Explosion Sounds

That was it! Put the capacitor back in and the sound problem is cured. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Solarfox. Now,...on to the Black Widow board....-Malcolm

If everything else is working except the explosion sounds, I think it's
highly unlikely to be a bad ROM. I'd think it's much more likely that one
of the POKEYs or its associated circuitry isn't working properly...

Try swapping the POKEYs at B3 and C/D3 and see if you get your
explosion sounds back while losing some other sounds. You could also try
swapping or replacing the LM324 quad op-amps at B5 and D5.
