A friend sent me a suicided GA2 to install the decrypted ROMs onto, I've burnt them all (I used the original EPROMs because I know they're the correct type) and I just get a black screen on boot. I've removed the security board since it's unnecessary and I thought that may be causing the problem (though if it doesn't matter/doesn't cause any problems I'll put it back just because it looks more complete that way)
Any ideas @Apocalypse ? I'm not sure where I've gone wrong, straight black screen suggests suicide, not sure what else it's likely to be. Board is super clean, looks barely used. It does have another daughterboard attached but this looks like it might be for 3/4 player?
I also removed the coin cell battery on the board, no change with or without it, though I assume this is the suicide battery and it's long since dead.
I did notice that the original ROMs (looking at the MAME driver) were Japanese region - but before I burned the replacement decrypted ROMs I confirmed that all the other ROMs were the same.
