Hi!
I recently purchased an "untested" King of Dragons B+C CPS1 board (which, of course, turns on dead ) and, giving it physically looks pretty good and battery reads around 2v, I'm assuming it's dead and needs revival.
Now, I've done this before with a Captain Commando board, but when I headed to the dead battery society to grab the "replacement" rom images I encountered 2 doubts with this board...here hoping someone can help
1-I haven't got a clue of which of the 8bit/32pin versions it is: US 910910, ETC910711 or ETC90805. Is there any physical way to check it on the board? Will the revival work if I replace the eeproms with a different version?
2-My board has less sockets than it seems it should have. Checking some images on google it seems it's missing one whole column, but no eeproms are missing though. It's like the eeproms were placed in a smaller B board (Captain Commando Style) instead of the larger ones (Carrier Airwing style). Should there be any problem with this? Is it something common when it comes to CPS1?
Here's a picture of the board itself:
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
