That's a nice haul of PCBs there Tom. What version of Xmen did you get? 2/4/6 player.

Do the Mortal Kombat PCBs require -5v?

Do the Mortal Kombat PCBs require -5v?

My X-men is 2P, but it has the connectors on the PCB to wire up two more controllers. There are 3 socketed EPROMs so I'm assuming it could be converted to 4P just by swapping EPROMs? Haven't looked into it yet. I know the 6P is a completely different PCB and I think you actually need two 6P PCBs linked because 6P X-men was split across two screens.

I've got -5v wired on the JAMMA connector. I don't know if the MKs require it, but it's there. The only extra connections on the MKs are for the HP/HK harnesses.


EDIT: Got some Konami X-men help from hobbyroms.com. I bought 2 eproms from them to swap my X-men to 4P mode. After swapping the eproms it gives a rom 13b failure during the startup test. To finish the swap, you have to hold down the service button during a cold boot or reset. 13b is the eeprom configuration memory and it needs to be re-initialized after swapping eproms. Unfortunately, the 4P roms don't have a freeplay option like the 2P roms.

Pardon my cross posting.





Saigo No Nindou/Ninja Spirit, IMO one of the best games Irem ever made. I had a bit of a scare when it first came as it appeared to be non working. But it was just a loose ribbon cable between the boards.

Irem mania continues.

Here is Undercover Cops: Alpha Renewal version. I have not photoed the entire pcb because it has windowed EPROM chips. Thankfully covered now. This version of UC Cops is Irem's later re-release/upgrade of the World version, which was incomplete and missing features the Japanese version had.

Was it Irem flashed that you know of or custom flashed? It's been a while since I've played that game.

I am not entirely sure, I suppose there is a small possibility the second board in the set is a boot but I cant be sure. Here is the info I do have:

Bottom board is marked as M92-E-B and has a "Dong A Electro Design Group" logo on it.

Top board is marked M92-A-B, has the following numbers: 05C04170B1, MDK321V-0

All marked made in Japan.

A few new additions:

Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters CPS2 orange phoenixed:




A favorite of mine, I'm glad to have it.

Air Raid (Seibu):





A very interesting little game. Not emulated properly in mame, basically unplayable. It's an earlier game by Seibu Kaihatsu, the makers of Raiden. While crude by comparison, the roots of Raiden can be seen pretty clearly in the gameplay and enemies.
