Unconverting Eight Ball Action back to DKJR -------With Pics-------
ElfShotTheFood:
Hopefully I will be able to pick it up tomorrow. I'll definitely post some :pics just as soon as i can get my grubby hands on it.
so what happened to all the various rom chips that people removed from good games to make eight ball action. i played it recently and well it kinda sucks. should i pick up a marquee to go with the chips and the cp art and see if anyone wants the set?

Don't waste your time or money on that one, nobody will REALLY want it.
Convert it back to original and keep the Eight Ball ROMs for nostalgia sake for yourself.
(or use them to burn something more useful) ;D

well i was trying to be nice to the poor game.
ok, so eight ball action scores a 2 on klov because nobody wants it hehe
the marquee for it is on eBay for $3.99 plus about $8 shipping. is seems like a good idea to have the marquee and cp together, but who knows.
could i burn the eight ball action roms back to dkjr? i know there are diy rom burners for network card rom chips, could it really be that easy, I'm guessing no.

Possibly.... I'm not sure on what size and type each of those games used. (probably the same)
But I would just contact somone like: HOBBYROMS.COM
Here's the manual for the Eight Ball conversion. It might give you a better idea what all is changed.
EightBall Action Manual
Do you have the two board or four board pcb set?
Have you had a chance to find out about the nameplate tag on the back of the machine?

This is incredible info that i did not find in my searches
:notworthy:
thank you very much.
unfortunately i haven't heard back from the guy that has the game, he said (in a brief phone conversation) that he is on vacation till the 4th and that he would call his son to find out when i could pick it up, and call me back. haven't heard back from him yet.
thanks again, if your ever at the jersey shore let me know, I'll buy you beers and some ribs and wings at my dad's BBQ shack.
