Looking for a original Mercs or Three Wonders C Board

[Darksoft]

As the title says, if you have any of those C boards original (Three Wonders is battery backed) and you are in Europe, please let me know. I need to buy or borrow.

Thanks!

Does it need to work? I have one waiting for infinikey, not booting (W3)

 

[Darksoft]

The C boards need to work, I just need that. The A or B boards are not needed.

 

[Uroko Sakanabito]

Shit, i think the battery is already removed and i have no idea if it works 100%.
Will take some pictures later

 

[Hammy]

I have both original you are welcome to borrow , 3 wonders will be running decrypted / no battery however

 

[Darksoft]

Thanks for the offering. I'm talking already to someone baout the Mercs and the 3 wonders needs to be original.

I'll get back to you if the Mercs one doesnt pan out.

 

[Hammy]

No worries! The 3 wonders here won't be knifed up or anything just the needed pins lifted so no problem to put back should you wish.

I guess the king of dragons mystery is solved as it's not on this list?

How do you know it's junk? Physically damaged?

I believe DS is looking for one that's still on battery with the original security keys.
so junk = battery dead

What's stopping you from reinjecting the keys?

 

[Darksoft]

Which keys? The ones from Arcadehacker? I think some of these may have a bit or two wrong.

 

[Uroko Sakanabito]

Yes, i did understand he is looking for one that still runs on battery.
Mine is without and whoever removed it did a butcher job

 

[Hammy]

The chance of finding one on the original battery now must be close to zero...
All the CPS1.5's was dying/ all died off over 15 years ago and 3 wonders is earlier than those

Can't remember last time a working battery for any of this stuff has been seen (including pang 1 hardware)

Can you check your PAL chip? do you have RT63B ?

Looks like the keys / decrypts are all bad or there's a PAL issue:

I have seen one with RT24B PAL. Not sure about that RT63B. Never heard of it.

CPS1.5 seems to die more frequently but that may be because of the dual battery system

I have a Knights of the Round that was still running fine on battery when I got it and I’ve definitely seen System 16B CPUs still running on their original batteries. They’re still out there
