your pcb definately has some issues, the tie fighters are stretching all
over the place as they move, this is not a monitor deflection problem, if
you are not seeing any divider or mathbox errors, you might want to try
another AVG chip as this could cause what we see in the videos. AVG chips
are notorious for being bad, so i'm thinking that maybe you used one avg
chip on two boardsets? that would explain things..

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
