The pictures didn't do it much justice.  There is more contrast when viewing directly.  There is a Yellow and an orange and those look blended together in the pictures I sent.  I think some of that was lost in taking the pictures.  Bubble is playable as a little blue drop floating around on a lighter blue background.  Sounds like you've lost contrast somewhere.

dabone:
Yeah, my board is nowhere near as good video quality as that one. Maybe a capacitor on the board is going, but they are all surface mount in the video section, and I have no idea of the values.

dabone:
I used hot air to reflow the caps near the video out port (C33 thru C35) and that actually brought back the color.. weird.

I was also having a issue where the board wouldn't startup all the time and would take multiple power cycles to boot.

Replacing C2 (10uf @ 10v) cured that.

jbserra:
That is great information!  Thanks on the C2 heads up.  Mine occasionally does not boot as well.  Guess I'll have to take a look.

Now if you're savvy, see if you can figure out how to keep the high scores :-)

Thanks!

So I adopted one of these and was going to replace the monitor but while I was testing it out i pressed the reset button.
once you do that the unit stops working then at a random time minutes or hours later it will start working...

any thoughts?

Has anymore made a ribbon cable to jamma adapter for this?
it seems to be a ton of the still out there lol
