CHICKEN RESTORE LIKE A ROBOT (Berzerk) *IT LIVES*
ChadTower:
Deleted all berzerk derived objects, got the roms from mame 0.37, copied in the samples again, and now berzerk works. Not sure why before. Front end still not booting to 15khz... will try arcadeOS.
ChadTower:
With some tweaking and a couple tips from Peale, got ArcadeOS running in 15khz too. Now to tweak it for max performance, give it a little customization, and then get the sound working with the cab speaker. I'm going to poke around and see if I have any spare speakers of this size to swap in, too, since this one is a 30 year old paper thin cone.
Also ordered a couple Wico stick grommets and some new shafts, though those shafts will probably end up on other games.
SirPeale:
You can use some wire taps to get sound working pretty easily. Just wire a 1/8" jack with your wires, and use the taps to splice it in. When you fix the berzerk you can just remove the taps.
ChadTower:
I'll probably just solder onto the speaker tabs. Takes two seconds and won't cause conflict because I don't know that I'll ever run both the game PCBs and the MAME PC at the same time.
Man, I googled wire taps because I don't know exactly what they look like, and I think now I'm on the Homeland Security watch list.
seinologist:
How's this project going? Did you get the boards repaired?
I sold 2 sets of Berzerk boards on ebay this past summer and they went rather quick @ $175.
Any acid damage on the zpu?
