Does anybody know if it is possible to convert Silent Scope 2 so that it will play Silent Scope 1? Can I just replace some of the eeproms to make this conversion?

Anybody have any ideas or instructions?

Thanks
 
Swap the top boards. That's what I do. Silent scope two has a small board on top that isn't needed for 1. So swap the top big board on the three board stack and it will play. Or just plug and play the full board stack
 
Unfortunately, I do not have a silent scope 1 pcb. Does anybody know if I were to get a copy of the eeproms that are socketed but missing eeproms on the silent scope 2 but has eeproms in the silent scope 1 and replace the RTC chip with a silent scope 1 if that would work.

I'm assuming the pcb board on the the silent scope 1 and 2 are the same but have different eeproms but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks for any help
 
Bang!

Thanks StreetzKing that was very helpful.

From what I can tell it looks like it is the same exact pcb board. I think it only has 4 different eproms but I could be wrong.

Does anybody have a copy of the 4 circled eproms (830 chips) from Silent Scope 1 preferably from an EA board that they can email me?

Thanks.

Just to be clear and not sure if this matters. The two that have the white labels say EPROM on the Pcb while the other two black ones say mask rom
 
I think it will be okay. As long as I get a dump of all 4 chips I believe I can copy it to an eprom instead of a mask rom and it should still be okay. I think.
 
Yes what you are trying to do can be done, and everything you need should be in mame.

Thanks willkaotix,

Does anybody know if the 830a09 (16p) and 830a10 (14p) chip should be a compressed file?
Also, can anybody tell me what chip I can use to program the 830a09 and 830a10 chip since it is a mask rom chip?

Thanks for any help provided.
