Just picked one up today. Don't have possession of it yet so no pictures yet. Anyone have one/played one? Pretty crazy concept

On another note, does anyone know if Leon's test eprom will work for this? I know that it has a sys7 motherboard, but the driver board is different.
I have one as well, just brought it back out of storage actually.... it was a mess.
It's coming back to life now though.
Last thing to figure out is why the shooter wants to lock "ON" at random times, which will blow the shooter fuse.
My understanding is yes.... since it is used with the driver board disconnected anyways.
At least that's the way I understand it so far. Been meaning to burn one before I dug into the instructions too deep.
Anyone have the sound board test ROM from Leon ?
The only link I found so far was bad.
Few more pics. That's the playfield after a quick cleaning, looks great!
I got the machine to fire up into audit mode. I was able to start a game, but no GI or shooter working. Sounds appear to work fine.
I finally got time to spend on Hyperball. Turns out that the trace that carries the blanking signal was open. I had the correct blanking signal on the motherboard but it was not getting to the driver board. Some solder and a jumper wire fixed that problem. I then replaced the 40 pin female connector on the driver board.
I now have a working hyperball
Not 100% though. I seem to have no GI on both the backglass and the playfield. Fuses check ok, I will have to investigate this some more.
Interesting story though, I was rocking the game around a little bit while playing and tilted it. Came back on and I rocked it a bit more and it went completely dead. Turns out a ball landed right across two leads of the transformer. Blew the 8 Amp main fuse. Made the ball look like it has eyes now! I will post some pics later.
Not really good at it yet, but how it is set is crazy. Goes through a quarter in about 30 seconds at average! I will have to mess with the settings.
I don't have all 55 balls, anyone have a link of where to buy?

Version 6 is the latest ROM revision with high score keeping.
IC20 is really the only one you need, but here is the complete set.
Are they 5/8" balls or 3/4" balls?
Good catch, I cut and pasted the wrong one... they are the 3/4", updated my earlier post.
Get the latest rom revision, cant remember what it is been awhile. Stock settings on hyperball sucks, it will piss you off even though its still fun.
Get your roms updated
then get your settings to this-

Print that out and keep a copy in the cab.
I got my new balls off ebay was around 40 bucks I think. Also check your shooter for flowering at the edge and if it does take it out and use a grinding wheel to re-bevel it so it doesnt tear the shit out of your new balls. You can also pad parts to make it MUCH quieter.
These hyperballs are known for being one of the hardest pins to restore and keep running. Ive had to repair mine several times and it just messed up on me again after pretty much going through the whole cabinet. Nothing big just a segment out on the playfield display other than that its 100%. Also do your interconnects youll thank me later and it will save you issues in the long run when youre chasing your tail. Also the main PS connector burns up or sometimes they are spliced into the board and causes GI issue as well as the interconnect.
