OK, thanks to the talented and awesome local413 we were able to track my Joust board problem down to the CPU board. It looks like it starts to go through the intro sequence, but then stops.
We swapped my defunct CPU board with his working one and everything was golden so we are certain the problem lies in my CPU. In addition we replaced the Decoder RAM and CPU RAM on my board with known working chips and still got the same pattern so we can rule those out. It just doesn't seem to boot/load.
Any ideas? Does anyone know the startup sequence?
I feel like we are so close!
