Help this man out; I want to play as the color swapped characters and as all of the Jackie Chan variants. :buttrock:

We need the true ending, too! Fayk beat the game, and all we got was a Splash Screen that read, "to be continued."

The real ending is just an animation of JC eating the wax paper from some meat buns.

No spoiler tag for ending reveal? I am disappoint.

Seriously tho-I was hoping you would weigh in. Is what I'm asking for possible?

If it uses the same board then I don't see why not.

It should be doable, but there may be one problem. MAME has U13 listed as MCU data. This may be a sperate ROM
chip, a MCU with a self contained windowed eprom, or a OTP MCU.

My only worry is if the MCU is an old and hard to find OTP device.
Post a pic of the MCU @ U13 and lets see whatcha got.

Hmm, maybe an 8751. Popular on older boards, hopefully it's been dumped.

Luckily it has been dumped.....but I don't think its an 8751 because the file is 1Mbit and the 8751 only contained 32Kbit ifc.

Just for grits & shins; since I had it unwrapped.

This is biggest PCB i've ever owned.

W/ only 6 playable charas, and static backgrounds...I'm trying to figure out just what they did w/ all this real estate.

Finding it hard to believe, there was only enough room for a "to be continued" end screen. No credits, no nothing?

Looks like an easy ROM swap, u13 is a common 27c1001. You may want to add a socket or two if some of them are soldered directly to the board.

Mega necrobump, but in case anyone else tries to do this, the only trick is that the 164 and 165 ROMs change from 27C2001 EPROMs in Kung Fu Master to 27C4001 EPROMs in Fists of Fire. MAME source doesn't mention this, but the ROM sizes tell the story.

Go show Demon Thorsten who's boss!
