Hello, Monster maulers <<<--->>> Gaiapolis Dragos.

Hello, Escape kids and vendetta both share the same motherboard ONLY, with some IC's being populated and other missing, depending on the game.So conversion between the 2 games is possible. Premier soccer, from my memory, runs on a dedicated HW, so no conversion possible. The second PIC is...

Hello, The role of the SuperCap is to keep the work ram powered (the samsung ones in your pic)while the pcb is not powered.Its only role is to keep the credits you have coined up the machine, and perhaps to keep the high score. Dragos.

Hello, I have checked at my postal office/customs and they allow me to ship to you by "small parcel" service. That would be 15$. No international letter.The custom K051962 i can give to you for 10$. The custom is fully working, i will remove it tonight from a crime fighter pcb.So total would be...

Hello, Aww, Hawaii, im in Europe, the postage is going to be a real problem.Everything that gets shipped out of EU, gets strict control at customs because of some incidents. I will go to customs and ask for shipping details, then i will let you know. All in all , i think i can help. Have a...

Hello, I think i got one here, let me check for sure. What is your location ? Cheers, Dragos.

Hello, Ouch! 20,77 £ for the shipping in an envelope? way too much.... Hi.. May I know what it does? can it provide clock at any 2 frequency at will? ------>>> it seems this board is based on this family of IC's : cdce913

Hello, Oh, and i forgot another detail worth mentioning: My Squash ROMset running on /2 PCB, wont run on /1 PCB, it gives a quick flash, then a matrix of dots, then nothing...... So clearly the software does some bootup checks, and it doesn't like the new "host" HW :( For the record, about...

Hello, Indeed i have transplanted the FPGA's from /1 --->>> /2 PCBs and viceversa. The graphic issues moved along with the FPGA's (/1). You are thinking in too modern times.Back in the times FPGA's, especially ACTEL, TI and QuickLogic were programmed by blowing fuses "polyfuse" . I was...

Hello, After a silence for a while, i have returned with some more info, regarding of course, the gaelco PCB's and especially Biomechanical toy game. The news are half good and half bad.The good one is that i have found what is the difference between /1 and /2 boards.The bad news is that...

Hello, I have installed the new PAL/GAL supplied with the file but the game plays with EXACTLY the same graphics corruption.Makes no noticeable difference. Now i have the proper 27c801 EEPROMs, i just need some time to get them installed on my /1 pcb, and test Squash on /1 pcb along with that...

Hello, Thanks for the HQ pics Sp33dFr34k.I have tried again that wire patch , but it didnt work.When i install the wire patch, the sprites gets corrupted, without it, only the tilemaps are corrupted. Looking again at the Squash /1 PCB and scratching my head, that wire patch doesnt make sense to...

Hello, This thread has been brought to life concerning useful information. I have seen myself that wire patch on Squash /1 pcb.I have tried to install the wire patch on my biomechanical toy conversion /1 pcb. I havent suceeded to fix the graphic corruption.It seems that the wire connects the...

Hello, Thanks for the response. Indeed i have looked at mame's gaelco driver and @apocalipse is right: the two decryption parameters are different, For Squash = 0x0f and Thunder Hoop =0x0e. My guess is that those different parameters(values) are hard-coded in those 2 fpga's, or by pcb design...

Hello, First of all i want to say thankyou to Darksoft, neocps1, and many other who made possible and available in the wild this conversion (biomechanical toy) Now, i had a go to make myself a biomechanical toy game conversion.I have a Thunder Hoop pcb laying around, and i had a stab at...
