Don't think he has the ability to re-shuffle/customize your modified ROMs. I tried combining the ROMs but they don't match up with anything the seller was a local guy, bought it from one of the "ebay like" local online sites. I gave up on this since there is no way I can manage to get something up running on this board because of that PIC and none of the ROMs seems match to anything. This is a typical repro from China (or Spain or Italy) which uses un-reproducable parts from "not so popular" games (another reason that they are now rare and have high collectable value). May be to protect the bootleg from other bootleggersĪnyway, the A and C are originals. There is this PIC microcontroller which I don't know its purpose.

no code or numbers on them) and lastly, the idiots soldered one of the C-board connectors the other way around (I mean one of the notches on C-board connector needs to bend it to get plugged in)Īlso, it is not a 100% copy of any known Capcom B-board. Third, the PALs are not officially labeled (i.e. Second, when you hold it, you feel its repro, lighter green solder mask, poor solder job. How I can tell?įirst, there are no Capcom logo or B-board number silkscreened. The photos can be misleading because it is indeed a good repro. It is not originally manufactured by Capcom (or whoever the official PCB manufacturer for Capcom was back then). Is there a way to determine the type of the C board asic by examining the program ROM the B-board is indeed a "back-then" (around 90's) reproduction. The C board PCB is a 88622-C-5, just like the Final Fight C board but the ASIC is not a CPS-B-04 (tested on my FF didnt worked). I've read some MAME source code on the net mentioning a bootleg B-board with PIC but the title was Street Fighter not C&D.ġ) Can I convert this into something else? Such as Ghouls'n Ghosts?Ģ) Do you think it would worth dumping the ROMs before I decide what to do with this? (May be they are already in MAME, don't know yet)ģ) The bootlegger scratched out the C board ASICs model number on the chip. I understand this is an adaption for the lacking Q-sound but the loop is taken so short It really sounds annoying. The only problem I see with this half-bootleg is that the music in levels are looping. The sprite priorities are OK (Better than the single PCB bootlegs).



It plays the C&D with correct name & logo (Not a "Dinosaur Hunter"). The B board is a genuine bootleg, not a convert/hack, with a PIC16C55 microcontroller on it. I knew it was a bootleg but the price was OK for just a working A board, a spare C board and sh** load of EPROMs.
