I had to replace the board on my 4 slot since it was giving the B240 error. But if it is only Strikers not working, its most likely the cart - sad to say.
But you already knew that, you are a wiz with cabs.
Yeah. This one's a tough call though. Z80 errors are usually the motherboard or cart slot, but like you said, other games work. I want to believe the mobo is OK, but the previous owner had it mounted poorly under a lot of stress, and it was running serious over-current (like 20% too high voltage wise). Toning the voltage back to the correct levels fixed the graphic issues on bust-a-move, but not the boot error with strikers. It would seem odd (if it was a motherboad problem) that 2 games would work fine and just one would not, but the pin arrangement is a bit different on strikers than the other carts, so it's not impossible that the cart is OK.
At this point I want to test the cart on someone elses motherboard. If it still errors out, then obviously it's the cart. If it works, new motherboard it is. I don't care which one I have to replace, since I got this cab for a steal.
