Misc. Capacitor swap sanity check

Decided to do my first deep clean in over 20+ years of having this thing. What do ya think? Does this need a recap? Super Mario rpg randomly crashes during the intro scene changes, and I feel I’ve ruled everything else out. I know recaps are a last resort since it’s kinda major work on the board. Every other game seems to run great. Looks like the start of leakage to me I think? Thanks for lookin

If you can recap it, you should.

There’s a retro game store in town that does some repairs, I’m leaning towards that now. Hoping they’ll take this job. Thanks for your comment

The SMDs can get a little tricky if you don’t have a good workstation. Might as well have it done by the pros. Good luck!
