In a recent haul of boards a couple friends and I got Golden Axe and ESWAT.
GA runs perfectly, but ESWAT has no sound, so I was going to swap the ROM boards to troubleshoot. But once swapped the games won't start up at all. Both boards still have suicide batteries/processors. I did notice that there are jumpers on the ROM boards that were set differently (pic attached). I'd understood that the ROM boards could be swapped. There's a flyer where ESWAT was even sold as a "junior" kit to convert old 16B games including GA.
Can the ROM boards be interchanged between them? All the main boards seem to be identical (numbers, markings, components).
