To clarify: I have populated on my pcb: 3a 4a 5a 6a 7a 7f 8a 8f 9a 10a 11a 11c 12c Strider-USA roms in Mame has the above roms, plus others that I don't seem to have on my pcb: 8h, 11h, 11e, 11f, 12b, 12f, 12h, When I look at the roms on the original board - things look similar: Then 8h...

My friend and I finally got around to messing with this. We checked the CPU roms (22/23) and those are identical to the ones in mame. So it sounds like then the mame roms can be used to change this from Strider-JPN to Strider-UA ? So that brings us to the next question - the Mame ROM set has...

Wanted to update this for the sake of others with this problem - it ended up being the drive I got was either defective or not compatible. I tried my friend's 256 dvd drive and it booked up. So I just bought the same model he had off ebay and it worked after that.

I have been trying to fix An a board I received in a dynamo style cab with a Magic sword stack in it. A friend lent me a board to he had in storage and it TOO is messed up. It was missing a PAL chip, and upon installing the correct pal, I get a yellow screen , with some jumbled graphics, and I...

Got a magic sword cab with dash a board. tested the b / c boards on a good a board and did not have the same problem Minor graphic glitches on sprites. My friend helped me troubleshoot and we are thinking a bad ram? I just don’t know how to go about troubleshooting that and where to get...

I purchased a dedicated namco tekken 5 machine locally that was unknown if working. When powered up, the ATX-style power supply shot out sparks, so we swapped that first. I adjusted the PSU to make sure it was putting out at least 5v proper when hooked up the the game PCB, as I was thinking...

Thanks for the info, everyone. I do have some friends with a rom burner, but not sure if they can do these type. I guess I'd have to double check with them to see what kinds theirs can do. I'm not sure if I have a B21 C-board - how would I tell? Is it possible to tell from the picture I...

I have a strider hiryu (Japanese version of strider) that I bought - described as having “reproduction roms” with “genuine A board”. So it sounds like it’s some sort of conversion. My question is - i don’t know anything about rom swapping etc - but would it be possible to swap out a few roms...

If this ends up being a kit that only requires an original "A" board - it seems ilke you could probably use a bootleg board ? I am looking at a Strider Hiryu that has "reproduction eeproms" as the seller put it, but "original A board" for use with this. Trying to figure out if the...

I just wanted to clear up - will these games that are fixed to work on DIMM, work with the CF adapter as well? Or are there different versions for writing to a CF card?

I have one for CPS2 ; would get one for CPS1 as well!

I've gotten the correct ID using NaomiCF off the card, and I try to write using the IDE reader on my old XP system - crashes immediately and says "CANNOT CREATE FILE" Then, I try doing the same on a newer system using a USB reader, figure I've got the ID off the card - input that ID, it starts...

I see ML MVS going for about $100-$125 + shipping. UMK3 about $300-$350 In the hunt $400-$500

Hello! I have a Konami Punchmania / Fighting Mania game. It has the Japanese version of the game. I originally got it with a blown out motor, and was lucky enough to find a motor with the same specs as the original and got it working. Looking online, I'm still kinda confused how this system...
