Missing Background Elements

UPDATE: It works perfectly in the Retron5. I have no idea why.

My copy of Double Dragon was pretty dirty inside. I gave it a good scrub and cleaned the pins but I noticed it had missing background elements in-game. I cleaned it some more and then added flux and solder and reflowed the chip. No improvement at all. I then did a continuity check and all pins beeped out correctly.

What ya'll think? Faulty chip?

Summary:

Cleaned with IPA twice

Reflowed chip

Continuity on pins and chip tested good

No background elements in game.

Gadgetwrap arrived today for my PT2

I got the glass screen protectors. Installed easy and also came with a clear soft body wrap too. So far so good!

I went ahead and put the 1.20 community firmware on my GSG. I can get Atari ST games to boot fine and pulling up the onscreen keyboard to start a game is pretty easy to do.

However I cannot get controls to function. I tried Arkanoid for instance and can't move the paddle. All settings for controls are stock and match the readme.

Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.
