Good news!
A helping hand has appeared and the namco board is now on it's 3rd and final revision.
I was working on it that hard yesterday the heat sink fell off my processor - the fan was going that fast LOL
Lucky the work was saved
The parts list is close to final = only the main connector left to add and a few mistakes to fix / error checking.
The jat stuff has been dropped due to not worth the cost in roms and nobody can understand them...
Of cause jap versions can be substituted in the spaces. Rom space is very tight due to the high meg count.
The wait is not over... a couple more months yet
____________________________________
Final features;
Games list is:
1 Knuckle heads
2 Numan Athletics
3 F/A
4 Tinkle Pit
5 Cosmo gang
6 Emeraldia
7 Super World Court
8 Exvania
Keycus in hardware for real RNG and less hacky roms
2x backup ram 'profiles'
You can have 2 'defaults' setup for horizontal / vertical cabinets.. or 4 player and 2 player cabinet (no messing about with test menu's each time)
The backup ram can be easily dumped so can share highscores and other things like trojan parts of the board such as key customs / bios. And Debugging
Storage : 13x 27c322 roms - not 3 volts flash rubbish
Possibility for expansion / onscreen menu someday but the board will come fist.
