The PGM is designed to work at 5V. Yes,12V is used as well.. BUT this is ONLY for the Sound Amp chip.. and to go into the 12V to 5V voltage regulator for the DSP / DAC chip. (You CAN make a PGM run with ONLY 5V just incase you didn't know) So at the end of the day is STILL a 5V system. When...

The 3.3V FLASH chips WILL DIE in the end. You May do damage to the PGM Motherboard.. but that's less likely... Bad sound / Corrupted GFX / Weird stuff are signs of the Flash chips dieing.... PLUS your not Killing / Using a PGM game cart to make Fluffys PCBs. Thats a HUGE Plus in my book. I...

The BIG issue is they run 3.3V Flash chips with 5V I/O data. Which is a bad thing!! "REAL Fluffys" PCBs (Which I build / and Sell) are ALL 5V Chips.. so doesn't have any issues! @shelcoof Did you see my youtube videos on Fluffys PCBs etc??? Tim.

Sweet, Well you know were to grab me when you need help etc :-)

@shelcoof I have a ton of info on my site. If you need some spefic help. Just let me know. I have a Discord server you might be keen on as well. I'm always here to help out another PGM user :-) Tim.

Have you checked FB Neo ?? I was sure i dumped some new roms versions ages ago... All my Roms were added to FB Neo first.. i don't know if ALL were added to MAME in the end... Depending on the ASIC 27.. you can't upgrade any versions to any other version. I know it has come up a few times with...

I thought it was interesting as they used many of the Rom Dumps i had done. I guess that was easier then getting roms from IGS / easier to run in FB Neo. I have reached out to IGS several times... But never got any reply's.

You would be surprised how often that happens....

@Fluffy . I think a different company made the Switch games / conversions. I was sure that was the case when people were looking to them using Final Burn Neo Illegally. I have no idea what the FB Neo team did?? Since it was clear it wasn't legal to use it....

Yeah there was a time were IGS was having supply issues with eproms. So they made the "adaptor" boards instead. Some are flash while some are MASK roms. You can still put 27C322 / 27C160 in there if you need to mod them at all. I have spent years scanning in PCB and Art as well. Art i really...

I presume you have cleaned the contacts on the Cart??

I presume other games work fine with your Motherboard?? T.

Cool. When your ready.. let me know and i'll print out this New version :-)

Hey @nnap Finally got your case all printed. So far the fit is REALLY good. But the gap between the top case and the Program PCB (Component side) isn't quite right. On one end its almost perfect.. but when you follow it along..the gap gets bigger. Something is holding the PCB up. Plus its...

Still printing... But the TOP is done. Its day 2 of FORD car repair.. so will tell the printer to print the bottom while i'm working on the car.
