No this is not what I wanted to happen
ChadTower:
Over here that's called an inductor, as SavannahLion mentioned.

And the round thingy that the wire is looped around is often called a Ferrite Bead. Whatever you call it, it performs the function described earlier (a filter).

SavannahLion:
I've always kind of wondered why some schematics refer to it as a Ferrite Bead and others refer to it as a Inductor. Now I know. ;D

Capcom sent me a mail back saying they didn't support boards anymore and to take it to a reputable dealer for repair.
Yeah thanks for that Capcom.
Ahh thats what it was suppose to be.
Looking at the above pics would I be better off getting one of those inductors or will it be fine with the resistor?
Thank

Given the location of where it is on the board, it looks like one side of it is going to a fat trace indicating a supply line (either source or ground). The other side looks like it's going to a connector.
In that scenario, the inductor is usually there to clean up high frequency RF or digital switching noise on the supply line coming/going through the connector.
If you don't see any problems, it should be OK to leave the resistor. Otherwise, you can try searching digi-key for an inductor that looks to be about the same size and has the same number of coils as any others on your board that look to be serving the same function.
Typically, the inductance value isn't critical as it just determines the passband of the filter. With a resistor, you essentially have zero inductance and are allowing it to pass all frequencies.
