Unemulated game - Woodpecker

(1/5) > >>

daeven:
I got my hands on a Woodpecker PCB in a generic cabinet.  It is listed as an unemulated "most wanted."  Upon boot, I just get a beep from the speaker every second, and the screen showed a sort of test screen.  There is no response to test buttons/switches, but I have not tried to change the dip switch settings.

My uneducated guess is that the ROM(s) are bad, but I'm looking for advice on where I can go for any troubleshooting advice, or a reputable person I can send it to for repair/ROM reading where I know I'll get it back.

I may get hooked up with RGVAC if it is the place to go.

You should just send it to the Mame dumping project.  That guy is an expert and could probably easily figure out what/if there is anything wrong with the board and how to fix it.  And of course hopefully he could dump it too.

I agree with this 100%.  It's your best chance of getting a pro to look at it for free, and you would help the community out.

I'd be willing to look at it for you if you're in the US.  Also, if it's complete I'd be willing to trade a pacman bootleg for it.  I likely have one here with the same pinout that would slide right in.  Do you have any pics?

You're one of the MAME dumpers?
