The King of Dragons (910805 Japan) Decrypted

[nem]

While this might not be the answer you guys are looking for, putting back the decryption keys to the C-board with the ArcadeHacker method is really easy. You need an Arduino and a LCD shield. I just did it to a King of Dragons board and from start to finish it took like half an hour. You need four wires for key writing, one wire for +5V and one wire for GND.

Put a good quality coin cell in and it's good for another 20 years (or more, the original battery on my board lasted almost 30).

Unfortunately I lack any C boards that take a battery

i had this game with chinese labeled eeproms and sf2ce C board (assumed as conversion). logo after coin inserted have jailbars but the rest of the game intact.
jailbars are because conversion, right?

Is the Jp set still available somewhere? I would like to re-programme my Jp KoD board.

Sorry to dig this thread up, but a friend of mine had his kodj board suicided. Is the decrypted japanese set available somewhere?
Thanks
