What's new
... or better : scan the manual for us to try and help :) :) :)
Doing that as well. But will take some time. 39 pages with two inserts and one fold out. Going to scan the fold out wiring harness diagram first, but that's also the most challenging due to its size.
 
Should i unsoldered and dump the sound roms? Say the magic world! :)
It is what it is, so not much point... Sockets on yours are not normal, and those are from the old game...

The question is, was this a factory conversion and the sound roms are re-used or done somewhere sloppy that did not change the sound roms...
 
I actually had this same passing thought last week, and I'm glad there is someone here taking on the endeavor of making one.
 
Struggled a bit to scan the documentation, but wasn't able to work on it much this pasts weekend due to work and life getting in the way of what's important. Still working on it, issue is my scanner is one I picked up to handle documents when I bought a house and it's difficult to get a clean scan from a manual of this size.
 
Still struggling with scanning. Am now understanding why all the PDFs of old manuals are so janky. Worse case, I cut the binding... but would prefer not to do so.

I used to have access to a nice copier at work where I could put a full manual in and it would scan it all and spit out a PDF ... did a lot of pinball manuals in the early 2000 that way! bliss. I feel your pain!
 
Not had free time of late, but am working out how to scan the documentation.

Think I have a working methodology but need to improve things a bit. File is just the cover plus first three pages as a proof of concept (and even then there's a skewed page). Settled on an 8x11.5 inch scan area. Have to do one page at a time with every other page being upside down and later corrected. So will take awhile to get it all.
 
They made me an "assistant vice president" at work, not sure what that means but I've had no time to work on this... still trying to carve out a day or so to scan in the manuals.
 
Congrats!!

Delegate the Neo Print work to a minion 🤣
I seem to not have minions, just a lot of meetings... I did pick up a "Dalmatians" pick label cart which is kind of interesting. Uses EPROMs in standard MVS cartridge boards (I added the stickers which is why they're a bit wonky).

Nice find, this one needs dumping too!

No V rom is interesting, must only have chiptunes!

I picked one up with betty boop label, but upon opening the card and dumping them all found that it was actually an art of fighting 1 board set :o
 
I actually just picked up a neoprint board along with another MVS board. Have no idea if it works or what I will do with it.
