Is there a pinout database for bootleg boards? I know Crazy Kong has a few and I have seen the occasional one in a few other places but is there anywhere that already has them catalogued?
Unfortunately what I am looking for doesn't appear to be there. I have a board that was sold to me as a Taito Polaris and it is not an original Taito boardset. It only has one 36 position edge connector. At first glance it was obvious that pins 1 through 3 and a through d are grounds but I didn't look any further. Has anyone seen something like this?
+5 should be easy to figure out, and maybe +12 as well (+5 should have a bunch of solid buses around the board going to all the TTL chips, and +12 should go to the audio amp section, assuming it has one). It might actually be the Falcon pinout: http://www.arcade-museum.com/pinouts-game/7430.html
That one uses 1-3 as GND and A-D as GND. (note: it's the 2nd one on the page, with the 18/36 pin connector)
