System 32 2p or 4p
Hi,
I have been offered a Golden Axe RoDA, I was looking for 3/4p boards but have one problem. I am under the impression that to play 4p with the System 32 the board needs an extra small board with the extra connectors. Is that right? Do all system 32 boards come with these board? Cause this one doesn't. Is that normal? If I buy the game how difficult would be to find one of these small boards? I have never seen one of these for sale.

Re: System 32 2p or 4p
Does the board you are being offered have original Sega labels on the chips, and many mask roms without any label?
Many people are converting these now, ever since i made a version that runs without the security board. A pic of the pcb would help.
You need the extra board for 4P fun. But i guess nobody is converting Spidermans or Arabian Fights.

Yup, I think it is a conversion. The board has only 5 mask roms, all labeled, the rest I think are called EEPROMS (no window just plastic black). I didn't know these conversion where that common... Damn I wanted a 4p RoDA.

I picture would show us what we need to know.
There's a lot of plastic black mask roms (at least 10) on the original. It could just be missing its 4P board.
These conversions popping up is a side effect of the de-suicide roms that i made. Don't pay too much for these conversions!

Re: System 32 2p or 4p
Black mask roms are the same, just no 4p board and quite dirty. Can't it just be a conversion made with those black mask roms? I'm not sure what to do, I don't see 4p for sale in the foreseeable future.

Mask roms are not programmable. If you have original maskroms, it's not a conversion. You have a legit board with de-suicide repair (decrypted/unprotected roms).

The game pcb is 2p 3p & 4p selectable in the test menu.You can't buy a dedicated 4p version.zumbito
I don't see 4p for sale in the foreseeable future.
The multi palyer i/o attached to the cornor of the motherboad is sold with the pcb as it was with spider-man and arabian fight.
But you don't need the multi player i/o pcb to run the game for 1/2 players.

Re: System 32 2p or 4p
So in the picture Asure posted the pile of 8 horizontal roms and the two vertical on the left are mask roms? If it has those it is original?leonardoliveira wrote:Mask roms are not programmable.

Re: System 32 2p or 4p
Yes, if it has those, they are original roms.
The little board on the bottom right (on top of the rom board) holds a security module, this board is removed when the board is resurrected.

Re: System 32 2p or 4p
It has them, but no 4p board. What a pitty! How much should I be paying for it? considering I want it for 4p gaming, and will be buying the missing board when I find it in ebay. I have no clue what can this 4p boards can go for.

It is used on a lot of sega boards.
D.D. Crew
Spiderman
Dark Edge
Arabian Fight
So you might get one of those to borrow the board from, or maybe have one of those to borrow it from.
