Hi Karl,
Both boardsets exhibited the same symptoms so I figured problem was elsewhere. Deflection prob? No hardware or mathbox errors on either boardset, I have access to another set of boards which I will try and get a hold of. I don't notice any jumpiness with the Tie fighters during game play but I do see the scaling. Had some problems getting the vids to play smooth, uploaded them from one of those Flip video cameras.
Thanks,
Rich

  Hi there,

  Are you sure it's not a board fault? The Tie fighters, etc look awfully jumpy in the videos you have posted, they are not scaling correctly as they move around the screen. Have you put it into test mode and run the mathbox checks?

  Cheers
  Karl.

    Hello,
    My Star Wars game has developed a problem and I was hoping someone here might be able to help diagnose. First off the boardset is fine, swapped it out with a friends and problem still existed. I completely rebuilt the deflection board this past summer. High Voltage is right on the money. When playing game I see a vertical white stripe on left and right of screen during explosions and death star blow up. On attract screen right after the Star Wars blue logo as the green letters in the story line scroll up the screen the letters appear mashed together at botttom left and right on screen. I took some video showing the problem, the vids are located here:

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rich
