All I can say is "in theory".
Sprint 1 and Sprint 2 have the same PCB, I have examined the boards side by side, but it would still take a real pro about 30 hours and several custom chips to convert one.
And that is the root problem, most of those Atari B&W games had custom chips on them. To get the customs you would need a Dominoes PCB to begin with, at that point there is no reason to convert the sprint one.
I'd just emulate it before I ever tried to convert a Sprint PCB.
ChadTower:
Agreed, because then you've just raped a working Sprint PCB in a case where the goal is to save a b/w classic.
Emulate it, then if you ever come across a working Dominoes board, put that in.
Stingray:
It's not often that one gets the chance to agree with Chad and Paige simultaniously. I'm glad I got the opportunity to do so today. ;)

OK. So a Dominos PCB FINALY shows up on e-bay. Todd from Tnt amsuements was the seller.
Look for what it went:

I'm sorry but I couldn't justify more money than $105,- for a game like this. I'd rather mame it then pay so much money for the original board....the game just is too boring....
I'm still sad though. I really hope the winner has the original cab and needed this PCB like me....
RayB:
Poor guy.
Hey a local game collector here has MAME and do you know what game his daughter says is her favorite out of ALL that MAME has to offer? That's right, Dominos.
