Some years ago I was trying to piece together a City Connection machine. I managed to gather together 1 City Connection board and 2 Cruisin' boards (all slightly different boards with different pinouts on the video).

Anyway, I moved the 3 roms that differ between the titles around among all 3 boards to see if they could all romswap to City Connection and it turns out they could.

During my big board sell off I sold the two Cruisin's and kept my real actual Jaleco City Connection boardset.

Recently I decided to revive this project since I have a spare cabinet and my wife can print up arcade graphic stuff at work. I built myself a new jamma adapter, plugged the board in and realized that my real City Connection board was rom swapped to Cruisin'.

Can anyone burn me the 3 eproms so I can romswap it back to the right title? It would be C4, C10 and C11 out of the mame set. I can check the type required on the board if need be.

Yeah but I am cheap! I was hoping not to spend 75 percent of the value of the board to change the title screen, because it looks like he wants $10 per rom. =)

HobbyRoms.com , Steph can do it for you if you'd like. He doesn't mind doing weird rom requests like that.

If you are willing to send me the roms, I could erase and burn the correct info you want for free.
 
Now that sounds like a good idea.

Going to see if I can pull the right style of eproms from a parts board and send you those instead. That way I will have both and there is no chance I will end up with an incomplete board!

=)

Might be a week or two. I will message you when I source the eproms.

I can do it as well if you want. I won't charge you $10 bucks an EPROM either!
 
Does anyone who can do it already have a good stock of chips laying around so I don't have to take any risk on having a non-working board? Cruisin'/City Connection boards may not be valuable but they are HAAARRRDD to find. It took me a couple years to find one then finally 2 contacts found them for me on warehouse raids the same week one finally popped up on ebay.

Sounds good. I don't have any extra chips, so it's up to you what you want to do. Just let me know! Always willing to help out.

I have a couple extra City Connection boards. One is dead and the other is a bootleg with a different edge connector pinout that I have not tested. I could pull some eproms and mail them to you.

What size EPROMs?
 
Looks like I am getting a set from dr. detroit's dead board. So if those work I am good, if they don't then I have the right chips for someone to burn. Thanks for all the offers of help.
 
They came today and they work!
