Konami TMNT Based Hardware Conversion Question

[zionfarm]

Hey guys,

Looking for anybody that has done it or even if it is possible, at getting a The Main Event PCB and converting it to a Gradius III?
PCB list located here.

No, it's not possible. They don't have the same chips.

Konami changed up the custom chips they used on their boards frequently to throw off bootleggers. Main Event can’t really be converted to anything, but it is sometimes a good donor of custom chips to repair failed customs on spendier Konami boards. There isn’t anything that can be converted to Gradius III AFAIK.

Thank you for the heads up bro.

I figured that as I was looking at both PCB's and verifying with a friends board.
