Board has been decuicided, and was working perfectly fine up until a week ago - and needless to say it literally hasn't been touched/moved since the last time it was working perfectly!
Graphics and sound all appear fine game plays smoothly. I've re-seated all boards and checked roms are firmly in. Output from loom is definitely 5v. Extra wire on base of board seems good, and the trace between 30-31 is definitely cut (i can't fully test with a meter though)
During gameplay, the following issues are showing:
Settings screen comes up fine, and everything is good apart from the System Configuration menu that shows "GAME DIFFICULTY" repeatedly, and I'm unable to exit from it.
