Got this untested Konami Salamander from the UK I eventually found a shorted capacitor atĪfter replacing the capacitor the audio was loud and clear again. Now audio could be heard for a short second and then silence again. I soldered a little metal wire to bridge the gap and booted the game again. I guess that the operator had some form of voltage measuring device and somehow broke the track at some point. Checked the JAMMA edge and found a broken track. Nothing came out of the 3403, so I eventually found that there were no +12V input on pin 4 of the 3403. Using my audioprobe I found that there were music been generated by the YM3014 at 4M and FX from the YM3014 at 3M and then going to the OP-AMP 3403 at 4N Redid the procedure, hot air station to remove the ASICs and then soldering again and lo and behold, the game has good looking graphics once again 🙂īut I quickly noticed that there were no audio at all. (forgot to take a picture)Īfter having a conversation with caius (thanks again for all your advice) we opted to do another transplant but with a better looking ASIC. Some graphics appeared, but mostly scrambled characters and when coining up and pushing start, the game reset. I noticed that the top of the ASIC had a brownish discoloration, but I didn’t know if it was toast or not, so I desoldered it with my hot air station and soldered it onto the Robocop board.Ĭonfirmed that there were no shorted pins on the ASIC and booted the game, but unfortunately the transplant did not help. I had a broken Midnight Resistance board (not the previous repair) that had this ASIC, so I opted to transplant it over to the Robocop board.
#SUNSET RIDERS SPRITES CRACK#
So now I tested the ROM board with it’s original CPU board and game booted but the screen was almost completely black apart from some graphical elements like the energy bar.Īfter visually going over the CPU board I found that one of the custom ASIC L7B0072 had a crack in the center of it. So I started pushing the EPROMs in their sockets and after that the game booted up. I had more Data East pcb’s around so I could test the bottom ROM board with one of those CPU boards and it was also not working.
As a result, we felt this list deserved some newer games to showcase the huge variety of games this genre has expanded into, as well as some other classics you might not normally think of as run & gun games.I got this Data East Robocop pcb from a friend that was totally dead. Updated March 13th, 2021, by Gene Cole: The shoot 'em up genre has gotten tons of options over the years, but this format has evolved in plenty of ways that make the definition of a run & gun game vary wildly from person to person. To pay tribute to this fine genre that will hopefully see more love in the future, here are 10 of the best the genre has to offer. However, the run and gun genre does get some love in the indie scene with great games like Blazing Chrome and Cuphead. RELATED: 10 Canceled Shooters You Never Knew Existed A perfect example of this is the run and gun genre. Run & guns have a set amount of stages that you must work through by dodging, shooting, and taking out bosses, amounting to a somewhat short experience, something that wouldn’t fly in an era when games cost millions to make and over $70 to purchase. Thanks to the massive budgets and need for a return of investment in the game industry, there are some genres that really don’t get any love.
