Arcade Rom Patcher (V15)

BTW @GadgetFreak : There's an extremely cheap Gardia bootleg on KLOV right now; it's pretty rare as a bootleg but maybe studying it could help you add the game to your multi? I'd get it but I already found a real one a while back, and I'm probably gonna get hit bad with tariff stuff.

That was a System 2 bootleg. My multi is out of room in it's current form (16 slots) but I could do a new design that uses a larger eproms to double the number of slots. At the moment my rom maker software allows you to select Water Match instead of Wonderboy and swap out 6 of the games for alternate versions. So with the extra slots they could all just be available. But there is work to do to sort out the rom banking side of things and to be honest there just not seem to be the demand.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I'm from Buenos Aires, and I'm trying to get two original Sega Choplifter boards working. They're missing the custom 8751 315-5151 ICs. I burned MAME ROMs onto them, and now I'm getting the message "IC CHECK" on the screen, and then the board shuts down. From what I've researched, "UNPROTECTED" MAME ROMs don't work on real hardware. Is that possible? Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. Thanks a lot.

Muy buenas, soy nuevo en el foro, soy de Buenos aires, y estoy intentando hacer funcionar 2 placas choplifter originales de sega, que le faltan los custom 8751 315-5151, resulta que grabe las roms de mame y ahora en pantalla me sale el mensaje "IC CHECK" y luego se apaga, segun estuve investigando es que las roms de mame "UNPROTECTED" no funcionan en harware real, puede ser asi? alguien sabe como solucionarlo? nose si el mensaje va en esta parte del foto. muchas gracias

Did you burn all roms from chopliftu (including sound roms) and replace the mcu with a z80?

Thanks for replying. I only flashed the three CPU ROMs (epr-7152.ic90, epr-7153.ic91, and epr-7154.ic92). I didn't flash the sound; I left the 8751 socket empty, but I kept the original sound EEPROM. The sound EEPROM isn't in the Chopliftu.zip version. Should I flash it from the other version? Or which unprotected sound EEPROM is it?

gracias por contestar, grabe solo las 3 roms de cpu (epr-7152.ic90, epr-7153.ic91 y epr-7154.ic92) no grabe el sonido, en el socket 8751 lo deje vacio, pero el sonido deje la eproms original, en la version Chopliftu.zip no esta la eprom de el sonido, deberia grabarla de la otra version? o cual seria la eprom de sonido desprotegida?

I don’t have this pcb myself but I looked a bit into it and it seems you have two options. Burn the unprotected roms and leave the mcu out, or patch the roms with rompatcher and build the adapter pcb for the mcu. So it looks like what you did should work, but you might try the second option and see if that does anything different.
