War Final Assault uses the Durango system board which can run Gauntlet Dark Legacy but not Gauntlet Legends. http://gamemaster14.blogspot.com/2015/02/atari-vegas-arcade-information.html?m=1

that's a shame but for Gauntlet Dark Legacy I don't have a suitable security PIC and I won't get it anywhere

Actually, War Final Assault can run on either a Vegas or Durango CPU board. The fact that Gauntlet Dark Legacy can run on either and Gauntlet Legends can only run on a Vegas CPU board is still correct though.

Judging by the pic, it looks like the CPU board is a Durango. It's possible to find a reproduction PIC for Dark Legacy on ebay but those were sold as a kit along with the bootrom and compact flash.

well then I wonder why @olum64 couldn't get his to work. The CHD in MAME should be fine for the image. Folks sell whole kits for it too, e.g. https://www.arcadeservices.com/compact-flash-cards.html

better description may help.
not "it doesnt work",
but more, is there a bios screen / error message.
and does the drive get accessed.

I'm looking for a War Final Assault control panel if anyone has one for sale.
