answered my own question. YES this will run on standard JAM hardware.
NO it will NOT run using 29F040 (I thought I could use these instead for testing erase WAY faster and program in 15 seconds instead of 2 min), I went back to 27c040 eproms and it booted right up.
Only problem I found on...
@Asure does this have the ASIC defeat built in to play TE on reg JAM hardware? I tried burning UJ/UG12 and put them in a working reg Jam with scaler version 1.5 installed and it wont boot.
I didnt burn any other roms yet, I thought it should boot with just UJ/UG12 and possibly fail the rest...
I am guessing that the jumpers are for different size / jedec / non etc settings but wanted to understand.
I have correct settings for Hammer Away, but was hoping someone could explain what they do and why they are different.
I have been messing with getting a bunch of games running on the 5987 daughter card and the first batch all used the same size roms so the jumpers are all the same.
Then i got into a different game (Hammer Away) on original hardware and the jumpers are way different.
The only difference I can...
sidenote, when you do get time to poke at this, if you can look at doing bloxeed at the same time also, I think that is the only other joystick game that seems to be on the smaller daughter board also.
No rush, your work is always appreciated. I can use my original Alien Storm for now, I just think its awesome to have these roms available in case someone wants to make no MCU/FD68000 games run on either daughter board.
I know I speak for the whole hobby when i say Thanks in advance for...
If you are looking for MW roms to compare, they are listed in this thread I did using CH daughter board also

I found an old post from @apoc that says exactly what I figured. This fix is above my paygrade but hope someone has already done, or can take a look and see if they can make adjustments per Apoc.

Yes it is possible BUT game...
I am trying to get AlienStorm to run on a 5987 daughter card.
I have done similar conversion as done with Moonwalker AnyRomboard name / location swapping, but when I boot it up, I get jacked up sprites.
I am assuming the "standard" code will not work since my original Alienstorm has the smaller...
I just got my first Gnet today shipped from EU. Had some trace damage I fixed and is booting up into the game it came with (CF card).
These cards you have listed above look like PCMCIA? How would I program these instead of CF cards? I have a USB->CF adapter for the regular cards, would I...
