Can you identify a Data East JAMMA board???

[Fozzy The Bear]

Hi Guys....

                I aquired a Data East game board today. I think it dates from somewhere between 1990 and 1994 But I have no idea what game it is. I can't seem to find the serial number listed on the web anywhere.

The Board identification number is: DE-0380-1  Serial Number is:009859 the three eproms on the board all have KX stamped on the silver sticker on top of them.  I don't have a JAMMA machine to plug it into, so does anybody have any idea what game this board is

Best Regards,

Nothing else written on the roms besides KX?
And there are only three of them?

What is the sound chip?

Hi Kev,
             Thanks for the reply.....

Nothing else written on the roms besides KX?

One reads: KX stamped on the sticker and 01-2 Data East
One reads: KX stamped on the sticker and 00-2 Data East
The other Eprom is over by the sound section next to the YamahaYM2151 FM Chip and reads: KX stamped on the sticker and 02-  Data East

There is also a small daughter board by the two program eproms marked DE-0388-0

Hope that helps....

If you dump it, you can do a romident against the MAME database.

Searching at MAWS, I was able to get it down to 64 games using Data East and the YM2151.  Maybe could of gotten it down a little bit more if I had the CPU type.

Yeah... I could do... But I don't really want to disturb the roms on the board unless I absolutely have to. Which is why I was asking on here first. But thanks for the suggestion.

I gather you checked 'ionpool', hence your guess of when it was made.

If not.. ionpool lists some details close to yours.  IE http://www.ionpool.net/arcade/board_numbers/DECO_Board_List_V1.8_(Jun-8-01).txt

I would say yours could be listed somewhere between 'DIET GO GO' and 'CHAIN REACTION' (however, some of them are cassettes I think)

Do a search on-line for any pics of these gameboards and see if you can match them.

Good Luck

YUP!! Thanks!!

I got that far and then haven't been able to find any pictures of the boards anywhere to compare them.

OK. Cheers.

I also checked crazykongs pcb pics, but none their either. DOH!

#edit#  Here's a KNOWN NEOGEO MVS GAME LIST up at System16.  Looks like most of those games we think it may be, are NEOGEO... unless some of them are on both pcb and NEOGEO.  I don't know if they ever did that though... I'm not a full bottle on that side of things!

If that's not the case... looks like your list of possible games narrows considerably!

That one may not be dumped yet....

I browsed looking at all the actual ROM designations on MAWS.....
Narrowed it down a bit to 1993, possibly late 1992, with that audio chip and the "K" series ROMS, the closest I found was Fighter's History.... KZ00-1, KZ01-1, KZ02-1 (obviously not correct, just narrowing it down) http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/fghthstu
And it falls in the "range" we were looking at on the Ionpool list.

They have a game from around that time that starts with a K: "Karnov's Revenge". However I'd expect the chips to have KR rather than KX. BUT maybe it had a different name in japan or europe? Karnov's Xtreme Revenge? HAhahaha

LOL    Nice theory but it was called "Karnov's Revenge" over here as well.  Thanks for all the help so far guys.

I'm still not certain which board it is. I guess the only way to be really certain is to plug it in to something or to dump the roms and examine them. It'll probably turn out to be a fighter of some sort, because they were so popular around that period.
