PCB board Blitz 99 / Showtime question

[RonnieC312]

Ok...  I bought what I thought was just a Blitz 99 PCB board.  I installed it in a Showtime Cab (which I bought from the same guy who got it at an auction).

Noticed putting in the PCB board it said Showtime / Blitz 99 on the harddrive.  Looked at pics of the Blitz PCB board and it looks NOTHING like what I have.  Look up the showtime Board it is what I have. 

I go into the test menu there is nothing to switch to showtime.  I looked up the manual for showtime/blitz and it said there should be an option after you put your coin in.  Well there is no such option and it just boots up into Blitz start up.

how can I get the showtime game (if possible)... help please!!!

that looks like a sportstation 2000 PCB; thought you picked the game after the coin drop?

The major difference between it and the regular blitzz 99 vegas/seattle board is the PCI slot on the end with a voodoo video card in it

if it is a dual game after you put your coin in it will ask you if you want to play Blitz or Showtime.

Mine just boots up into Blitz.... on the harddrive it said showtime and blitz on the harddrive so im thinking its a dual board.

It is possible that someone put different software on the harddrive.

I have NO idea but im sure that is VERY possible.  Just wasnt sure if there was something on the board that I was missing or something to switch.  But that is possible wizard.

Could I just order a harddrive from online?...  I know I can order a Blitz 2000/showtime imaged harddrive.  Will that work with my board or how does that work?

I have A blitz Manual and maybe a hard drive if your interested. I sold my machine about a month ago. I never played it once so I couldn't tell you if there were any options enabled or disabled. It was given to me.

I would first check in the settings menu for something. As for the hard drive you could follow the directions below but just for a .chd file of your own game. I had to do that for a San Francisco Rush boardset I got without the hard drive. The directions are aim for a compact flash hard drive but the directions don't change for any style hard drive.

I think im just going to spend the $25 and get the imaged harddrive and not worry about it.   If its $25 fix for both games that seems like a pretty good deal to me.  So I emailed the guy on ebay to see what harddrive I need.  I just need to go look and see what PCB board I do have.

So I hope that works lol
