This CPS2 was sold as „Clear-ROMs (kein Phoenix Screen und anderer Tütellüt)“ – thou: Not one original PROM, and Sound is fucked [playing the wrong samples]. Probably a early http://cps2.avalaunch.net/ conversion.

 

I was under the impression, that the roms were not decrypted properly. So, updating the roms would be the second task.

This is how I got it: Sound just wierd.

Everything seems to be ok with the solder points.

 

palchip on 9f: What does it read?

Revision of board. There I got it. Here I should have found the culpit.

 

still thinking the roms are bad.

 

Info from the seller:
It was converted using this article: http://ikotsu.blogspot.de/2010/01/progear-capcom-cps2-cavecapcom-2001.html

… but I found, that it was using the completely wrong PAL-Chip. It is a D, instead of a G. I looked at the wrong PAL. There was already a GAL programmed as G.

 

So, options is either selling it on, or repairing it. Will try to get a GAL programmed. Looking for a GAL16V8B-15 .

 

Original part is PALCE16V8H-15

cps2G

 

Reburned GAL.

 

 

 

fixed it with the old wire trick.

because it was rev.4
