    MV-1 FZ not completing bootup

    Got this one with color ram error that i fixed by replacing the ram, but it just sits on a black screen, as if pause dip is set. It goes _thru_ the green screen and does not sit on a calendar error or perhaps it does, but there's no message.. The unit appears to wait for something, which...

    Blast City MS2930.. HOT burns up, help :)

    I hate HV. Still, looking at this for a friend, he needs his vertical cave shooting fix... :) This is a MS2930SE chassis as noted on the tube, with no OSD but everything is done with pots & dips to set it 15/24/31K etc. The horizontal output transistor burned up when he turned it on a day ago...

    Blue's Journey - no sound

    Wondering what can cause this.. 1. Looking at the boards, it seems the M1 rom is wired directly to the cart edge with no logic in between, am i right? 2. Am i correct in thinking, a dead mask rom will cause the z80 not to do much.. So it would not play samples, or music or anything? 3. Any...

    Repopulating PROGBK1?

    I have a very badly broken Pulstar PROGBK1 board which seems to have issues with the PCM chip that are beyond my skill to repair / replace / swap. (The mask roms on it are fine though, i desoldered & dumped them to verify.) I looked at a donor board to replace this one, i have a TWS96 but there...

    Final Fight B-Board - Use 4x eprom instead of broken mask rom?

    So i'm looking at this Final Fight board for a friend of mine, and today i got my TOP3000 in the mail,and i dumped the mask roms to verify. I read the HN62404P (FF32M-8h) as MX27C4100 and this worked fine for all the other mask roms on the board, except the one a 8H.. So i guess it means the...

    4-Slot GFX error on all slots?

    I've repaired a fair bit of stuff in my time, but this 4-slot has me a bit stumped today.. It has a single gfx error on all carts i tried, on all slots. This shows up as a vertical line in all graphics. ('Sprites' seem fine). Here's a pic on the Nazca logo for BTG: I checked both boards...

    Anybody with Irem M72 board expertise?

    So, i've got this Dragon Breed M72 board, and heard that it can take other rom sets. I did a little digging around, and the security PAL's for the games / mobo seem universal for at least these games: Mainboard: M72-8L & M72-9L same for: Air Duel, Mr.Heli/Battle Chopper, Dragon Breed, Hammering...

    j-gamesnow.com strikes (read:spams) again

    Bootleg Gallery up and running again.

    I've just put it back online, had some tech problems at the previous host :) http://www.jamma.nl/gallery/ I'm not adding any 'older type' pics soon, the server is in php safe-mode so i can't easily add pics. Besides, there's more than enough examples of classic piracy on my pages allready. I...

    Neo Bios question

    I've owned a 6-slot for a while, and a mini 1 slot. I took a closer look at the bios chips today to see if i could fit a uni-bios in there. Turns out my 6 slot has a snk-eprom SP1 bios in it, and my 1-slot a snk rom with SP2. I remember someone selling this SP2 bios on ebay claiming it allowed...
