Can a Wizard of Wor "game board" be swapped with a Gorf "game board" ? I am getting fed up trying to get the background sound to work in my Gorf. I have not seen a Wizard board in person so don't know if there are any differences.
 
They are swappable providing you swap the rom board with it. Everything else is the same other than wiring, but IIRC the video out is pinned the same on all CCRS boardsets. You couldn't coin/play the game but it would allow you to see if the boards are OK.

Check the wiring diagrams in the manuals to verify.
 
The audio sounds are generated by the two 40-pin custom chips, BTW. Anyone close to you with a Gorf or Wizard Of Wor.....you could swap the two chips locations to see if the audio issues "changes".

I cannot seem to find these two chips anywhere which is why I was looking for alternative boardsets that might have them. Do you know where I could possibly get a hold of these?
 
Nowhere. They were custom chips made for them. Only place to find them is robbing them off other CCRS boards. They are essentially the same as an Atari Pokey chip (not interchangable)....you can't buy those from Digi-key....never could.

What other game boards use these? Hell if I thought it was going to be this hard to locate these I would have scrapped this project altogether, to far into it now though.

Gorf, wizard of wor, robby rotto, professor pac, 10-pin deluxe. Im sure they are a couple more but thats all I can think of at the moment.
