Hi,
I saw a copy of Prehistoric Isle 2 up for grabs at a decent price, and thought I'd take a risk on it. Well, I opened it up, and predictably saw eproms on the Prog board. Socketed eproms at that......However, looking at the Cha board, it's got its original Toshiba roms - NGH#255 (C1 through C6 + M1) and its CMC chip all soldered fine on a genuine SNK board dated 1999. The Prog board soldering also looks great, but it's a SNK 1994 board.
After a closer inspection, a couple of jumpers on the Cha board have been resoldered, and leg 120 on the CMC chip has been lifted, as well as a blob of solder replacing a jumper on the Prog board. Anyhow, just wondered if this is a boot, or a repair? Cheers for your help, and here's the piccies (sorry if they're bad...and for not covering the eprom windows....)
