Exactly, this was a shot in the dark that kinda runs. Theory with pictures.
There's no point even thinking about gun nail or TD2 until macross 2 is fully working.
The raster is not the only problem, the banking is a problem and the I/o is a problem for some reason.
Yep. I have three copies available right now, more on the way. $350 shipping not inclusive.

Why are all you guys rushing to grab a donor PCB?
This may never fully materialize into anything but a proof of concept/theory.
Nothing against Hammy's skills, but I really don't see this running on real hardware EVER.

The conversion PCB is DJ Boy. I heard that one’s been going up in value recently already. I’ll sell mine for only $420.69.
Yeah, I was surprised when you dropped info on ESP Ra.De. -> to Uo Poko I was like, "dang Mike, why you gotta inflate the value of ESP Ra.De.? People are going to be scooping those up like crazy to convert to Uo Poko, now!"

many things are okay at a small personal level but get nasty when scaled up to mass numbers. One dark adventure becomes Gradius II, it’s not a big deal. *every* dark adventure becomes Gradius II, it’s a problem and kind of shitty imo.
Anyway, I’m curious to see if the raster width is configurable or not.

Man, there are some sick beats in DJ Boy...

I can't help but see some hidden joke in that price...
I like to 420, right before I 69 too... Smoke'n bowls and fill'n holes.
Be fast people... looks like it’s someone's lucky day: https://ebay.us/91zGGG
We should start a bounty pool to convert Capcom Bowling to Literally ANYTHING better.
Damn it, I thought it was Golden Tee, was so excited cause the board already has basically all chips socketed.

Easy SPDs with a trackball.
First the hitbox took the FGC by storm, next is trackballs. I see a future where SFVIII players are on dance stages at EVO.
Based on pictures of the PCB I expect that would be difficult... and the boards are so expensive that few people are going to want to mess with them.
I guess you could reprogram the main Flash through JTAG, but I don't think they are designed for many rewrite cycles.
Apparently Cave recycled dodgy Flash chips:

... which would make it difficult to convert games without making a board-specific bad block table.
Of course, looking at the cost of the originals and that they're using mostly off-the-shelf hardware I'm surprised that there aren't many bootlegs?
The sound ROMs would still need to be desoldered, reprogrammed, and soldered back down every time you converted a game.
Bootlegs/repro's/something would make a lot more sense than a multi. SH3 CPU's got discontinued, and finding them in large quantities isn't terribly easy.
