Sega Bass Fishing to Virtua Fighter 3

[Hedonism Bot 2.0]

Is this a possible conversion? Also, does anyone offer this service?

it should just be a romswap

Thanks! Can I just reburn the roms on the board, or just get a VF3 romboard and swap it on? Sorry for the questions, but non jamma is uncharted territory for me.

Better look on eBay for a complete Romboard it’s about 100-150 dollar and saves the hassle of burning 40+ roms

 

[stj]

do you have a full set of windowed roms??
i'v never seen that.

I have a few model 3 games that have 40+ windowed chips I made haha its a pain

VF3 is Step 1.0 and Bass Fishing is Step 1.5
Can Step 1.0 games be played on Step 1.5 hardware?

 

[AMS]

@twistedsymphony they are both first release games step 1.0 Only

they never had a 1.5 release

only rom board change and ready to go

 

[twistedsymphony]

ah, you're right, I don't know why I thought Bass fishing was 1.5

 

[stj]

people tell me vf3 isnt great, wouldnt the fishing game be better?
i have a few vf3 boardsets - never even tried testing them!!

Na fishing sucks you also need the dedicated controller and the controller unit.

vf3 is a good game if you give it some time . Easy to upgrade to TB

and still looks stunning imho

 

[stj]

controller unit??
you mean it needs an extra interface??

controller unit??

yes, it comes with this giant bass rod and panel, the rod actually vibrates and such. I got it up and running, sort of- it’s fun but it gets old fast. I have one issue that I think is power or connection related, but I’ll go into it later.

thank you and everyone else for your help, I am just going to look for a VF3 romboard.

USA. I still have the cabinet and panel disassembled, I'd be more than happy to get you some pictures when I get home.

 

[stj]

damn - too far for a romboard exchange then.

I'm sorry for rebooting this thread. It is possible to modify a Model 3 Step 1.5 for working with Step 1.0 games? I have a Virtua Fighter 3 rom set I would like to make work, xD

I also want ti know if a burnt Model 3 Step 1.0 GPU board can be resurrected using components of a Model 3 Step 1.5 GPU board.

I know a Model 3 Step 1.0 only differs in the GPU board, since the CPU board an Rom board are the same.

No sorry you can’t exchange model steppings

 

[Tailsnic Retroworks]

No sorry you can’t exchange model steppings

I know that. I only asked if the GPU board of a Step 1.5 could be transformed to 1.0.
