Tech: Kick graphics issues

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

Kick/MCR boards are well known for giving graphics problems when they don't
have clean ground connections or only some of the ground pins actually are
connected..

However this normally affects the sprites and not backgrounds.

At least verify you have solid power connections in every place there is
supposed to be and see if that helps.
