Spy Hunter Tech: What boards necessary for this game to pl..

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

O.K.... I'm stuck on a Spy Hunter I just picked up. The cheap squeak is
not making any flashes. At one point it did and failed. I put in a
known good working spy hunter board and still, no video and no blind
game play. Monitor comes with no video. What boards are necessary to
only produce the video? Just the main stack? Does the cheap squeak
deluxe board need to be functional for the video to come up? What could
cause the board not to boot? The power supply is putting out all
correct voltages. I'm stumped.

The game will run fine (after the startup error) with just the Super CPU
and the GFX board... you don't need the SSIO, or cheap squeak or absolute
position board or anything else.
