Data East MLC SYSTEM conversion possible?

Here is what little I know from my street hoop cart. The whole assembly splits in half seemingly to a mother and rom board (Which kind of negates the name). A couple roms are socketed, in the case of street hoop you can update revisions with those roms. The rest is soldered from what I remember. I can open it for pics if that would help.
 
Bought a conversion MLC from Sheep - from what to Skull Fang I dont know but here are the pics.

Wow, all those games look just awful haha. :P

Avengers In Galactic Storm / Cosmic Avengers
Dunk Dream '95 / Hoops / Hoops '96
Skull Fang
Stadium Hero '96

Pre-rendered sprites sure, but if your going to pre-render anyway why not use a texture?

Oh yeah, they are completely horrible, lol. They are like hot garbage.

I have Vapor Trail, Wolf Fang which are pretty good

the follow up is Skull Fang which just looks horrible.

But mostly got this to see what the conversion was about.

For anyone who has tried a conversion of Stadium Hero '96 to Skull Fang. Is it possible by directly burning the dump files in mame and quitting 146 security custom?
 
Hi again. The conversion is possible. Only a few tips. These boards doesn't have WE signals, so you must put them at hand with a cable. Remove the 146 custom, make the WE signal union (pin 1 to +5V) and also lift the pin 44 on the 2 YMZ sound memories (WP signal, is a bit crazy in this board on that zone)

Do you still have the 146 custom ? Would you sell it
