As you probably know, the "CUSTOMS" on the factory board sets go bad and for the most part they are unobtainable. Sometimes the original boards are missing and/or damaged. For both of those reasons, this is why this came into existence.
Consider this as a direct replacement for you factory board set. All of the game software gets loaded onto a Micro SD card that plugs into the FPGA board. All of the factory connectors/plugs that normally get connected to your game board and RGB board gets plugged into this board instead, completely bypassing your bad or missing game board set.
In more detail, this is an interface board that allows you to plug a DE10-Nano or Equivelant (Qmtech Cyclone V, Mister Pi FPGA, Intel DE10 Nano) on one side and the factory cables from your Bally Astrocade based arcade cabinet on the other (Gorf, Wizard of Wor, Adventures of Robby Roto or Space Zap) *I currently have the hardware on this board configured for GORF and WOW.
The interface board connects the relevant outputs to the cabinet, so that the video, sound, controls and in the case of Gorf, lights are all driven from the core code that is loaded into the FPGA board.
You are getting the Populated Main Board (Green board pictured on the bottom. My boards have more areas populated on the board than the one in the picture has so that it will work with both GORF and WOW) This is the central hub of what everything connects to including your factory connectors utilizing the large header pins on this board. I have 2 rows of header pins populated on this board. 1 is for GORF and 1 is for WOW.
You also get the ribbon cables and the RGB board.
You need to provide your own Micro SD card and DE10 or equivelant.
I provide a page of information with every board that also includes the download link for the software so that you can image your own Micro SD card.

I'm sorry but I had 10 more that I listed yesterday around 5:30PM and by 1AM they were all gone.
I have 1 person that I am still waiting on payment and if I do not receive it today I will offer it to the next person in line that messaged me last night.
Thanks for all of the interest.

WOW is a great game and a great statement for this thread!
Please put me down for the next run or if one becomes available.
Or if anyone is looking to sell theirs, I'll take it.
Thank you,
Brent

The problem with these is all of the assembly time that is involved.
When I was doing all of the TRON and GORF Joystick Bumpers (Over 300) it was a matter of having molds made, pouring them and waiting for them to cure. These boards are all hand assembled and you have approximately 2 hours of soldering work into each one which doesnt include the time involved with everything that precedes assembly. 50 boards would take 100 hours and realistically, how long can you go before your hands fall off LOL Thankfully I have a good friend who has been incredibly helpful with the assembly. Due to all of the work involved, this is a Limited run of these. I am not saying that we wont do a few more but I am also saying that it is not 100% certain that we will.
The other problem that hit us with this batch were the additional fees involved due to tariffs. Everything was purchased in the US with exception to the actual blank PCBs but many US companies are now applying tariff fees to their invoices bumping the costs up to make these.
