Am still going over my soldering and checking all the connections etc.

Damn :(

Its also possible those big caps might not be needed, you could try jumpering over them to see if it makes any odds...

I'll give that ago as my soldering seems to be ok after the second inspection.

"finger on board" time then... see if any places on the chip change the video output which touched...

(my diagnostic powers are awesome ;) )

Obviously my finger does not contain the force as it also made no difference

Well it does look like all the colours are there, this seems like something isn't connected causing issues... Could you take a video what is happening ?

Sure - Let me do that

Hold on - Now this is weird.

I just put the board back onto the perspex to stop me knocking the 33R resistors around.

Plugged it into the HxC etc and forgot I had Magic Pockets on auto boot.

Well that booted and the screen is perfect for the game. Not all the screens worked correctly booting it though there were some black screens.

Very odd.

Let me do videos of both.

hmmm, on desktop, does changing resolution do anything ?

I thought that too. Changed res and it still has that purple dark mode.
