How-to: Rockin' Bowl-o-Rama bad motherboard swap without replacing IO card

Did you or anyone ever get the new "Revenant Bowl-o-Rama" one replacement board that runs on Rasberry Pi ? If so, I have 2 of these games and need them
I still haven't seen anything from Cosmodog / Andrew Pines on when this will become available.
 
Brilliant work, I got mine running, and fantastic game it is!
Luckily the seller had a replacement board he couldn't get to work, and also the original
Couldn't believe how simple it was.
Unfortunately that board has died too, plus another I sourced, about 3-5 hours each.

Im now thinking the power supply is at fault.
But struggling to find a board, has anyone tested other boards?

will a similar chipset work that is not ECS branded board?

Yeah, I've verified that other boards with similar chipsets works too.
 
Awesome work! Got mine working about a year ago but had to do the whole I/O swap and new Mobo. This will come in handy if anything ever goes dead again!! Cheers!
 
Any one had static on speakers?
Mines making loads of squeals and pops when it's loading, as the dos lines flash up on boot the noises seem to happen per the line.

Does that mean my amp has gone?
I've tried alternative wire to amp and also new psi and mb
 
Alright internet folks... I have my game up and running BUT the bowl rolls in super slow motion during the attract mode - anyone else see this? I have a ATI 9600XT and have tried 2 different motherboards.. I have tried a lot of other combinations of ATI/NVidia cards on a PCI-E motherboard and just can't get it to work. Thoughts anyone? Anyone add NVidia drivers to this Linux version?

ANY and all direction and help would be appreciated - OR maybe my OS is jacked - I'm using the USB. I tried to image it to an SSD - but something about mount points being out of wack - and let's be honest - Linux is NOT my strongest OS - Give me ANY Windows/DOS version... but me and Linux don't understand each other... :)

Thanks ahead of time!!

whats your hard drive solution? many old PC's that share the +12 with the drive and the audio amp will do this. Try a ground loop isolator on the audio output.

my money is on the thumb drive.

Isn't the virgin image online somewhere? Use that and write it to a USB SSD.
 
Yep - we're in business!! Now to fix it so it can run just off of SSD - without USB encloser - mounting issues I think.. Should be able to figure that out. Thanks for the direction @gamefixer!!
 
yup. If you cant get it to work LMK. I bought the drive and enclosure that SOS/Namco sells off of Amazon to get ours to work. I can probably dig up the links to the parts.

Cheers but mine is on usb thumbdrive

Another issue I have is with the computer shutting down.

At the moment I have put this down to cpu overheat unless someone suggests different… I have order cpu heat paste
