Nothing like trying to find chips from fairly uncommon games. :( |

A little more information I found out on these chips. Early runs of Gorf were shipped with a heatsink on the lower chip, but not on the top (as shown in the pic above). There was a high rate of failure in these chips, so on later runs, they shipped with heatsinks on both chips. |

Your best bet is to search for those boards that have this chip, that are "too far gone" or non-working for sale cheap. Then just cross your fingers that one of those boards has a working chip and scavenge it. |

The generosity of people in this hobby is amazing. A KLOV member saw my post looking for the custom chip and sent me one for free. He said it was a thank you for the great job I did on the Gorf restore. Plugged it in and the board set is working perfectly! :applaud: |

Some new photos for the gallery... And one of me with my new Gorf t-shirt |
