Mr. Driller G Memory Swap

[St4rgalaqtic]

Have a panicuru Panekuru I got in a deal fully working. And I have a Mr. Driller G memory board pulled from a System 10 board that had cap issues. I am thinking I should be able to de-solder the Driller G Chips and place them on the board coming in. Has anyone ever done this?

On system 10 the game is entirely stored on the sub-board and the main board is generic and can be used with any game.
Assuming it's your Mr Driller G mobo that has a problem and the sub-board is fine then you should be able to just swap it onto the Panekuru mobo without issue.

As for ROM swapping the sub-board, not likely as the security wont match and there are several variants of the sub-board so the chips might not even be the right package.

The sub board and main were both damaged. I was planning on desoldering the rom chips off the sub board. But if the security is going to be an issue. Maybe I can desolder the caps off the working sub board and put them on the driller g sub board.

without knowing how and where it's damaged it's difficult to provide a good suggestion.

Caps are damaged from water, the sub board will work on my driller 2. But the displayed output is about half the size it should be.
