ok, I'm not trying to promote the sacrifice of unsuspecting and innocent NBA Jam boards, but I took a frankenstein MK T-unit board and was able to successfully swap to an NBA Jam board.
my MK T-unit was in fact an MK2 that for whatever reason was converted to MK1 by the previous owner, and I bought it with a multitude of strange issues. I was able to fix most of them until the board's video sync started to heavily freak out. I felt NBA Jams are a dime a dozen, so for the time being I did a swap.
if you directly swap the roms though, both games will not boot at all. as per zenomorp's quick response advice (while serving for our great nation overseas
) you also have to swap the graphics chip too! this is the PLCC chip nearest to the JAMMA edge, make sure you have a PLCC extractor otherwise you will break the socket if you attempt to use a flathead.
upon doing this, I got myself a working MK T-unit, and the NBA Jam told me to go fuck myself. until the next time...
