Hi, I have a bootleg of Golden Axe that won't boot. On the screen I only see the white background with some strange symbols.
The CPU is freezing. the data and address bus are blocked. the clock is present. The reset line is active high.

I suspect the red marked GAL is faulty.

Do any of you have the dump of this chip of this PCB?

This board is a playmark version, probably worth dumping the roms too as it will be a full new version i think.

Due to the unusal board, it will be hard to track down an identical one to copy the chips.
The normal / common golden axe bootleg is not on this board as you know.
 
Hi,
I don't have this bootleg, sorry.You said there is a post on JAMMArcade about this particular bootleg but I cannot find it.Can you, please, point it out?Thanks.
 
You contacted me in private as well saying :"I read a post of yours where it appears that you have a bootleg like mine. I would need a copy of the GAL that is under the CPU. Would you be able to read it and send me the read file in JED format?"

So, would you be so kind to say where you read this post from me?I can't remember really.
 
Mi hai contattato anche in privato dicendo: "Ho letto un tuo post in cui sembra che tu abbia un bootleg come il mio. Avrei bisogno di una copia del GAL che si trova sotto la CPU. Potresti leggerlo e inviarmi il file letto in formato JED?"

Allora, saresti così gentile da dirmi dove hai letto questo mio post? Non ricordo bene.
Era un mex che avevo mandato ad un'altra utente e per errore l'ho inoltrato anche a te.
 
OK, no problem.If I ever come across this bootleg I will dump the PLDs and upload them to the PLD archive.
