Killer Instinct Dual Board
- Thread starter Estenze
- Start date
I have a few KI Dual kits remaining to put up for sale later. These are the leftover PCBs I had that I built out to a kit.
With that said, can anyone confirm that they got a KI2 PCB working with neku's U98 boot rom to run KI1? If so, did you only change the EPROMs and HDD image to KI1 with no modifications to those? If we get confirmation, then I don't see why KI2 PCBs can't use the same kit. Difference will be the U98 concatenation with the correct boot roms for each game. KI2 will just use the stock anyIDE U98 boot rom and KI1 will use neku's. That's how it sounds like it "should" work. If there's any pitfalls for this logic, let me know.

Amazing work @nekuHello guys,
It's been way too long since my last post and i have great news to share!
As zouzzz hinted, the website for the custom bootrom/multiboot hardware project is finally live: https://www.killer-instinct.net
The latest stable build 2.0.1 of the single boot variant is out now and ready to download!
On the multiboot side, the hardware is still cooking, but here's the exciting part: starting today, you can grab the 2.1.0-multiboot beta bootrom along with a modified MAME binary (Windows x64/arm64, Linux x64, macOS arm64) straight from the website!
Just hit the soft reset combination (UP + START + FP) to bring up the selection menu.
And it gets better, 2.1.0-multiboot beta ships with a brand new redesigned bootstreen and a completely reworked multiboot selection menu. I can't wait for you all to see it!
Give it a spin and let me know what you think

Ran it in mame and it works great
I do hear a bit of audio drop
Anyone else notice this?

Should not be different from the kinst machine.
Sound roms are unchanged, still bank switching.
The MAME modification implements the bank switching and the hardware switcher driven by an IDE command.

Anyone have one of these pcb’s complete they wish to sell?

The game contains code to display two types of hint when losing a game.
- Generic hints
- Special moves about the character you lost with (3 of it)
The code was disabled in the final release of the game by returning immediately in the pick/draw hint functions.

Does anyone happen to have any eeprom stickers for KI and KI2?
Is there any for a DOM module for the HDD image?
Thanks

Excellent work; I really think there are still more hidden things that haven't been enabled.The game contains code to display two types of hint when losing a game.

I was watching the video of the beta version and noticed quite a few details in it.
The intro is different, Cinder's name is "Meltdown," Spinal's laugh is different, the character selection music is different, the font is different and the character animation display lasts a bit longer on the versus screen.
Is this hidden in the game's code?
It would be truly amazing to have the beta version.
