Let me proceed this by saying I don't have a DOJ Black Label pcb... yet. I'm just curious about the subject.
I've read about this here and there that the DOJ Black Labels suicide. I'm assuming its like the CPS2/3 suicide? What triggers the suicide aside from a dead battery. Can this be prevented with a battery swap before it dies? Whats the battery swap procedure like? Do you need a helper battery like CPS3, or can you swap it with no power like CPS2?
Whats involved with the resurrection process? Both times I've seen it mentioned, there are talks of installing a new battery to resurrect it. Is a new rom burned? Or do you have to simply swap the dead battery for a new one and boot the PCB a certain way? Can someone enlighten me please?
Thanks!

Re: DDP DOJ Black Label Resurrection
Another couple of questions for those in the know. The suicide battery is in place to stop people upgrading their regular DOJ boards to BL boards so...
Has any upgrade been successful?
If the DOJ BL has suicided can the ROM be replaced with a standard DOJ ROM to make it a regular DOJ board?

Re: DDP DOJ Black Label Resurrection

Re: DDP DOJ Black Label Resurrection
Very interesting reads over at Shmups! Thanks for the links guys!
The collector in me understands why the revival NVRAM eprom will (most likely) never be released.
The cheapskate in me wishes it were released so I can get a regular DDP DOJ pcb and upgrade it myself

Re: DDP DOJ Black Label Resurrection
I'm not concerned about the value of my PCB. I don't want to support bootleggers though who would convert every white label to black label and sell it for a tidy profit.yep d.o.j can be turned to black label.. rtw could do it now but i doubt he will ever release the code cos then his own black label pcb would be devalued..
Another issue is that we might lose a revision of the DOJ white label code because it has been upgraded to black
This is incorrect, there has never been a black label bootleg sold. I do remember a Hong Kong company selling it for 400USD because they were not aware of the diffence between black and white labelthe hong kong companies used to sell black label boots but not any moar !

Re: DDP DOJ Black Label Resurrection
i agree with you deffo on not releasing the patch because it will cause people to try shady tactics..

I have been on cosmicco's list for years, I have not seen any BL bootlegs for sale. All the PCB's that people thought were bootlegs turned out to be the real deal in the end.charlie chong wrote:i was sure i seen a black label boot on cosmicos list years ago but i must be mistaken.

Re: DDP DOJ Black Label Resurrection
Oh man...very good read. I need to get 3 of these to play around with. I would have never thought about it suiciding like CPS2/3. Thanks for the info. I wanna see if a battery holder will work.
