I need some advises with the TC2 I'm working on,

I've got a "link Malfunction 3 error" which is different software version on the left or right PCB. dose anyone know a way round this?
 
The version is on this little guy ... and they need to match on both of your sides.

as you can see, I have 2 "TSS 3 VER. B" which used to work but now I figured that one appears to be dead, not booting when inserted.
If I put the "TSS4 Ver. A", (edit: which is for a SUPER system23...so that might explain things), the game boots fine but is not the same version (A is 1.01 instead of B 1.00(weird I know)).

I went too fast and bought the "PNP 1 Ver. A" , seeing only the "Ver.A" thinking it would fix my issue but it does not even boot with it and now I see that it is for PANIC PARC. (15$ oh well)

So my question : Is it possible to burn/change the versions ? and who can do it ;) ... or who has TSS3 Ver.B or TSS4 Ver.A for sale ?!

Thanks!
