I have a few compact flash kits for Area 51 ready to go. Simply unplug your hard drive and put this in it's place. Kit comes with flash card, converter and power cable. I have tested all of these to the end of the game. The price is $40 shipped.
 
I recently did this mod to my Site 4. I used a IDE to SD card adapter, works awesome and makes the game a lot quieter and cooler.

I defiantly recommend this type of upgrade.
 
if i swap out my dark legacy hard drive for a compact flash does it perform better?
Slightly off topic for this thread as its a different game and product from a different seller, however with a good flash card, yes itll load a bit faster. Im not talking ford escort vs porche difference, maybe more like lincoln mkz vs mks though :)
 
lol i get it, if it ever craps out dont look for another hard drive go with the compact flash. didnt mean to jump off topic just noticed that they have now a replacement chip other then the compact flash for the killer instinct game and i have a ton of questions. since you guys have more experience then me.
 
I hear ya, always good to prune info where you can :)

BTW OP, the combo board and max force board are the same hardware as the original a51 dual pcb. It should work fine for those using the same hardware as the original area 51. Ive been considering changing all mine over pretty soon anyway. Between the a51/max force combo, a51s4, midway vegas (swapping between 3 games...) and midway skins game, I have way to many hdd's going :)
 
Yup, I'm aware its the same, I havent switched mine yet and I don't want to sell anything without testing through the game first. It just saves me and whoever buys these a headache.

Wheres your sense of adventure and risk? :-D

Itll take awhile to run through the duo eh? If you were local id say swing by and toss it in mine, but its a bit of a drive :/ iirc toplessz can get you the few roms and pic to swap the base a51 to the duo,
