    Midway (Williams) Y unit (Z unit and T unit) Discussion, Serial Numbers etc

    there's like a PAL chip the sound needs, towards the middle of the board. I want to say it's U1 but don't quote me lol if you have another Wolf unit game you can try swapping that chip. my MK3 board began life as a UMK3 and had no sound... the other parts board I got with it I robbed that chip...

    MK2 - UB11 and UB13 failed, game stops

    by design, yes, they stop on the first error they detect. I don't know what a UB11 or UB13 are off hand, but a lot of the major not-74xx-TTL parts on these games are seemingly unobtanium. like this is the only store I was able to find with what may be what is needed...

    Tekken 3 battery replacement.

    I was looking at my System 12 games and the one that's not near 3V anymore definitely is showing signs of swelling.

    Nba maximum hangtime pcb help

    I have a UMK3 with intermittent U13 ram errors. the background will do like a loop thing as you go left and right on the screen. I never attempted to logic probe it and see if any of the lines are showing bad. those rams should be tied to the Williams Custom Chip, like Asure said, it can be...

    NBA Jam TE - screen is darker than expected

    I think I had this problem on one of my NBA Jam boards, replacing the UA4 7407 chip fixed it if I recall. might be something to check.

    NBA Jam TE - screen is darker than expected

    yep those Philips caps unfortunately are getting very bad. Williams used these on their WPC pinball games also and the conventional wisdom within that circle is the Philips caps should be replaced, but the iC caps are fine. the latter were used more on Y-unit games, T-unit is when they made the...

    Trying to convert my US HyperFighting to JPN Turbo

    I hate to bump this thread but I bought a CPS1 set that had a C board with Japanese text and thought it would be fun to turn Hyper Fighting into Turbo JP. I bought 27C400 roms to replace the 10-13 roms and while I can see the TURBO letters on the title screen unlike random red and white...

    Terminator 2 U99 Issue

    yes, you need the sound board connected. assuming you don't have the boards connected, on T2 the CPU board ribbon cable goes to the driver board first and from the driver board to the sound board. always align the red stripe on the ribbon cable to the pins labeled 1/2 on the boards. [pictorial...

    Fixed: Converted NFL Blitz 2P to 4P w/ 49-way sticks. Mysteries solved

    I figure if you're asking about 8-way joysticks that you're probably going to run it with a standard res monitor like K7000. that's why you would need to change the resolution. if you post pictures of your monitor I'll be able to determine what you need.

    Terminator 2 U99 Issue

    it's a bunch of little PAL chips that are supposed to be for security in the vicinity of the CMOS. and yes AUTOERASE is U115. manual calls it a PLD Autoerase Ctrl. those are the same between NARC Z-unit and Y-unit games, as are the Custom Chips.

    Terminator 2 U99 Issue

    Custom Chip and AUTOERASE chip are different components. I've never seen T2 with the Custom Chip socketed. they're kind of a nuisance to work with. I stole a socket from a High Impact Football board a couple years ago and soldered the chip in direct, it's apparently missing a connection...

    Terminator 2 U99 Issue

    the 40 pin AUTOERASE chip by the U99 Williams Custom Chip(tm) can cause all kinds of weird stuff on Y-unit games. the original socket is single wipe, I don't know if it's corrosion on the legs inside the socket or what but you get a lot of mileage out of replacing the socket. especially if you...
