Hello Everyone,
I just sacrificed a beat up Fatal Fury 3 (Japanese) home cart to be the host of a Blazing Star home conversion. The conversion went pretty well except for one aspect... Figuring out the correct jumper settings. You see, this was not just a straight one for one jumper swap. It took quite a bit of experimenting before I got it right. Anway, here’s what I’ve got so far.
Here’s a snapshot of the game in action. (Note that the cartridge still sports the Fatal Fury 3 label). I’ll be working up the insert and label later this week.
Details...
You do not need to change any jumper on the SAC PROGBK1Y. Just move the “V” and “P” chips from the MVS cart board to this one.
Now on to the CHAR256RY Fatal Fury 3 board. Move all of the “C” chips from the MVS board to this one. Also move the M1 and S1 chip. Here are the correct jumper settings:
Jumper Setting
1 off
2 on
3 on
4 off
5 off
6 off
7 off
8 off
9 on
10 on
11 on
12 on
13 on
14 on
15 off
16 off
17 off
18 off
So basically, you’ll need to remove jumper 16 and add jumpers to 13 and 14. You should find that the others are already in the correct position.
Here is a low resolution video that I captured of the game's intro.
