# UK Road Trip # - Rolling Thunder from Namco !!!

[DarthNuno]

go back on work    

Well I still have the sound problem (no sound at all)  

According klov.com regarding this game :



Ok, well le'ts have a look at these caps' :



I'm buying new ones, same values of course :



Opps, I don't have unsolder tool close to me yet    , so I quicky replace them just to check if it will fix the sound problem...



...It doesn't  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Ok, so I presume the main amp chip is dead ? Let's order a new one. Here it is :



It's not an easy one to fix on pcb, so I'm asking my brother to do the job, and clean my previous job on caps    



Done ! Looks better isn't it  



YEEESS, the sound is back !!!      

I clean the marquee :



Cool, there are pins with 220V where I can plug the new TV  



One small bug left : some bad pixels on title screen and on the score, :



...but it's not a problem at all  



Now, the Rolling Thunder slide show ... in action

Happy to see sounds are back to life

those old PCB's  
too old to be reliable...

...listen the beautifull music in the short scene between level 1 and 2      

Note the gameplay, very simial to Kung Fu master I think  

[DarthNuno]

Got today a board 100% bug free:





no more graphics bug  







I'll try to fix the first pcb, in order to have a good *spare* pcb

real beautiful  cab
but the old monitor?

[DarthNuno]

Thanks for the link Fred    I plan to get a Rolling Thunder II and a Jamma swith, in order to play both version inside the cab.

Igor, the repair of the original in now in my 'to-do' list, but not in my 'must-do' list      Because I have now on that cab a brand new TV, setup like a true arcade monitor

[Igorstellar]

him this I see
I prefer to mend the original monitor if this is good conditions of use

I always look for old monitor to mend those that I have

this because I try to preserve the more possible the originality of the game
but this is one opinion of mine  
in every case ....... congratulations for this restauration

pretty good idea
despite the fact rolling thunder 2 isn't really interesting compared to the first episode. Colours are much brighter but the evil guys look awfull
