Now my board is working nicely, I cleaned it up a bit today and replaced all the electrolytic caps, the sound has improved a lot, I'm just wondering if anyone else has one of these boards does your level select work in Tour mode? (by holding the joystick down when selecting Tour mode), when I enter the level select, the game is still running, but there is no Asterix, and I can't get out of that screen, it doesn't crash as the music is still running and player 2 can join but I just get stuck with no way out or to select a level. I am assuming it just doesn't work as it's a bootleg. but would appreciate if anyone can confirm this?
Thanks,
Chris.

Anyone have this Bootleg version, and know if the level select works in tour mode? I need to know if it's just because it's a bootleg or if it is another problem on my board, I also have a second problem which is not so bad really but I wouldn't mind getting to the bottom of it, when I turn my machine on the sound is playing up again, sounds like one of the channels isn't playing correctly but once the machine is warmed up it sounds ok, what am I possibly looking at here, I have replaced all the electrolytic caps so don't think it's that and fixed the reset circuit so I think the Synth chips are being reset properly, possibly a voltage problem?
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi, I have a similar board (also bootleg) but it has and addon board with a z80, rom and some more things.
The problem is that C4 and C5 capacitors are missing (bottom left in the image, at the right of jamma connector) and it resets continuously. Could you please check the values and report it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Sorry, I only log in from time to time, only just saw your question. I just had a look, they are both marked 101, I'm only an amateur with electronics but I think they are 100pf ceramic disc caps, hope that helps.
I took a picture, but apparently my image failed security checks, it was displaying all squished so I cropped the image and now I can't upload it :-( anyway they are definitely marked 101 with a line beneath :-)
Regards
Chris :-)
