First photo looks familiar (sometimes this line flashing) - that I noticed many years ago.
Last two... Maybe, I saw. I'll try tomorrow to load and watch.

Who found this say many programs with similar loader (title name under the screen) produce same bug. I'm never see same :oops:

One quick idea, I'm not sure it is change anything: short circuit R12. Usualy we do this when made a turbo machine, this adjust something with the video RAM timing.

Yep. Fast Food has same effect.

R12 - shorted. Nothing changed.

Can you make detailed photos from your motherboard? I will look for a similar one from my spares and test it with these programs.

Here photogallery: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oduseq994r1t9s2/atC8Cvyc5-

I don't remove PCB with memory, because I don't have currently soldering-iron to put it back.

Some photos from other side here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kckg3wa3inocrub/AgKLQn--Qt

Don't problem, I think the CPU, video RAM ICs, memory multiplexers are the most important components about the problem.
This is look exactly same. Now needed to find which machine have this board :oops: I hope not sold these under the many years after this photo made.

I will try to make minimum version from the know "bug-generator" programs, for example only keep the LPT and screen build parts. If the minimum programs also make a crazy screen for you, then possible change something or other something, etc for detect which Nick settings generate bugs. If we know the specified settings then can thinking about what do this in hw level.

But it is will be later, I'm currently busy about the SD Cartridge software :oops:
