Another patch that you will need you to replace a ram chip, its the 8218 ram chip at H1 (next to the four program roms) with an NV version such as DS1220, M48Z02, U63716DC etc.

Until I did this patch I didn't realise that this game keeps the top 50 scores even though it only ever displays the top 10 during the attract mode. This game is really wasteful in the way it uses its ram! Caused me some issues finding enough continuous spaces for the extra large high score table, my first two attempts were getting corrupted after a random number of games!

The patches below are compatible with the Mame rom set DoRunRun.

To reset the high score table enable freeze, ground pin 6 of the edge connector (component side), when powering the board up.

As with all my High Score Patches, please post a reply or click thanks if you find this patch works for you.

2764.p1

[b]0124: change these bytes  FF 17  to  17 12[/b]

Note: If you want to use Do! Run Run on a Universal #8339A board (Wild Ride) you can apply the following patch as well.

2764.k1

Code:
[b]136A: change the byte  C8  to  C9[/b]

[b]
[/b]

[b]137E: change the byte  00  to  FF[/b]

Necro bump! I don't have the knowledge or kit to patch ROMs but would love high score saves on my Do! Run Run. Would anyone be able do provide me with a ready-to-fit kit? Willing to pay, of course.

Maybe not a kit, butt if you could find the right NVRAM (any 6116 compatible device should do) then I'm sure I could do the ROMs... No board to test them with though, so they would be supplied 'blind'.

update - Just edited the ROMS 2764k1 and 2764p1. Done in 10 mins and saved.

Thanks for the offer. Apparently it's just one ROM that needs to be patched and someone has kindly provided me with the patched file.

I Guess if the patched ROM works in mame then it should work on an original PCB?
Scratch that. I wasn't thinking. Lol

I'm not having any luck getting this working and wondered if anyone has any suggestions?

I have what I believe is an original Do Run Run board so just replaced the p1 ROM with the patched version made with Arcade Rom Patcher. I've replaced the ram chip with a 6116 NVRAM and also tried a DS1220AB. All I get is a static screen of yellow of 0s.

As a last resort, I also replaced k1 with the patched version for Wild Ride. Still getting just a static screen but a high score table did show at one point.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Just discovered that my board has the Japanese romset (dorunrun2 in MAME). Does this matter regarding getting this HSS patch to work?

Edit: ah, I see it probably does make a difference. I'll try again...
