Monitor problem with Tekken 3

[kryptonian]

I have a standard jamma cabinet, the only game I've had in it before was bubble bobble and the picture was fine.

Now I've just put Tekken 3 in it and the picture is messed up - it's like there are the picture is been put on the screen 3 times but there are squahed, ie one at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom. My first thought was to mess about with dip switches, but I don't have a manual and can't find one on the web. My second thought was that it could be some sort of sync problem?

Any help please guys?

Well, it was the horizontal frequency that had shifted apparently, so after turning a few dials on the monitors pcb, i got it sorted. I didn't think it was a monitor problem at first as bubble bubble ran fine, but it was.

And as I didn't have a plastic screwdriver and didn't want to get electrocuted, i used a bank card.

If you still want the manual, you can grab a PDF from:

Bizarrely, they have manuals for Tekken 1, 2, 4 and tag - but no 3...
