Like @Apocalypse said.
 
Wish I found this thread before shelling out $100+ for a junk conversion just to salvage it for the dash A board. Oh well, atleast I know my other A board is just a 3 buck crystal away from 12mhz. You guys rock as always.
 
hy.

also want to swap the chrystal at my Boards. not easy to find them here in Germany.

and i also Need to swap the 3.5 mhz chrystal. any recommendations where to get hese.

thanks

and and by the way is there a way to see if the new chrystal has any effect?
 
So long as you know the donor crystal is good! I assume that cps2 A board is dead, because if it isn’t please don’t kill it. Just buy a new crystal, they’re cheap.

I don’t have measurements on me but I think this is the right size: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/ecs-inc/ECS-100A-120/X126-ND/79217 regardless I’m sure you can find a new crystal.
Did you ever confirm that this is the right part number for the swap/fix? Working on repairing and hopefully upgrading some dead A-boards. I think I have 3 laying around.
 
@acblunden2 I haven’t personally confirmed that one works, this looks like the only one tried by anyone here. But i would bet you the cost of the part that the one from digikey will work, if you wanna try it! I’m pretty sure the dimensions are right but I don’t have my calipers nearby...

I tried an oscillator from Farnell and it didn't work. This one was recommended in the other thread and I can confirm it worked fine: https://www.ebay.es/itm/401396958941
 
I changed the xtal and the 68000 cpu for 12mhz variants. Also, added a heat discipator to the CPU, SF2HF or Daimakaimra work like a charm using that A board.
Not sure about any other "vanilla CPS1" games that are expected to be 12mhz.
