well thats odd...

So, awhile ago I bought a Championship Bowling converted from a Centipede. But just the other day I found it for MAME, I noticed something a bit different from the version I was playing on mame and the original board I own (which isnt installed in anything so I cant go back and look it over. But from the pictures I have, the background is not the same color, on Mame its black, but on my board, its green. look for yourself in the pics below. I wonder if maybe there were different versions of this game.

Either that or not quite emulated correctly.

You could post on MAME Testers and Reip will probably take a look.  But it wouldn't be a bad idea to dump your roms as well just to be sure.

Could also be a bootleg rom\bootleg pcb?

[Malacus]

I dont think mines bootleg, as it says Romstar and Seta all over it, and i have the original manual.

Its probably just an incorrect emulation like 2600 said.

This is the only board I really frequent if someone wants to pass this along to whomever could use the info.

I'll report it, but before I do, are there any other differences you know of?

Not sure if you can dump the chips, but if not can you read the labels off them if there are any?

[Malacus]

theyre labeled the same as the zip archive except on this board theres a sticker on two of the chips that say ab1-009 and ab1-008 instead of ab-001-008 and ab-001-009. I cant cleanly peel them off to see what the original name was but i'd assume theyre the same.

here are a couple of pictures of the board, I also noticed in mame that under 'dip switches' there are quite a few, around 15 if i recall. My board only has 8.

[2600]

I'll post a note about it.  I'll refer them to here, but if they ask questions there I'll ask you in this thread.

[leapinlew]

Could it be a physical problem? As in the monitor isn't displaying color properly?

[Malacus]

i suppose its possible, but all of the other colors seemed to display correctly as far as i could tell.

look at the pics, it doesnt look to me as if theres a green hue.

but, i could be wrong, it wouldnt be the first time

Reip is fixing it, but has a question for you about another screen as well.

[Malacus]

yes, it never has a black background as I recall, except for in the testing mode.

I added the only pics of the other screens I have, but theyre still green.
