Toaplan Model 2 Conversion Info

[Reechard]

Pulled this board out of storage, need to clean it up, but wondering who wants to take a crack at a multi? I don't see any good conversion info posts for this set either... So if all else fails I'd like Batsugun or Sorcer Striker instead of the worst beat em up I've ever seen.

The boards are probably different enough that there's no easy conversions available:

You could convert a Teki Paki to Pipi & Bibis though.

I looked at this a while back. just about every game has a different memory map, which means converting would be a lot of work, and you'd end up needing to convert a specific target game for a specific PCB version. Most of the good games have additional modifications that would be needed for sound and there are other hardware variations that make converting not possible.

I'd love to get some of the Raizing shumps on cheaper board sets but best case it'd be a lot of work and more than likely not really viable.

I'd love to be proven wrong on this.

I appreciate the input guys. I've had this board for like 15 years now and I offered it to Apocalypse if he'd like to research it more fully, but it sounds like a "multi" would need to be on a per revision basis.
