I have an Atari Gauntlet board and I'm missing a few of the Atari based roms.
Was wondering if you can make the roms or do I have to find someone that has them original?
I am missing roms 1104, 1105, 1106, 1120, 1123, 1124, 1125, 1126
These are the roms that can be variated to make the board a Gauntlet or a Gauntlet 2.
If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
 
if they are eproms then they can most likely be burned for you rather than finding originals.
www.hobbyroms.com is a great source for these things if you are not equipped to do them your self. Steph (who owns hobby roms) is also a member here.
 
I honestly don't know. Your best bet would be to drop hobby roms an email. they are good at getting back to you and should be able to give you a price or at least a ball park price.
 
I did mine a loooong time ago so I don't remember what I paid to have someone burn them but I do know that it was surprisingly cheap. Inflation can't have had so much an effect so as to make the G1/G2 hack cost prohibitive. Just send whoever a link to that gauntlet hackers page and they'll burn 'em up for you just as needed.

Good luck!
 
Ya, I just priced the roms through hobbyroms and he wants to charge me $6 a rom.....
Not sure if this is common, but I don't have the cash for $6 a rom.
Anyone else have a set lying around they want to get rid of?

Are you looking to get Gauntlet I or Gauntlet II ROMs? Or are you trying to do the I/II hack? (I think that requires a dozen EPROMs)
If you are doing the multi hack, or converting a board between versions, remember that you also need to do the slapstick hack (which requires an EPROM change and removing the slapstick chip and adding a couple jumpers).
If you tell me exactly what you want, I'll burn the chips for $4 each (plus shipping).
 
No. I'm only looking to do Gauntlet 2.
I have all but 8 of the roms to complete my Gauntlet 2 board.
There are a total of 23 roms required on the Gauntlet 2 board.
I need roms 1104, 1105, 1106, 1120, 1123, 1124, 1125, 1126.
$4 each I can do.
Is this total shipped for the $32?

Add $6 for Priority shipping, or $4 for First Class.
Do you have the correct slapstick for Gauntlet II? Whether or not you have that will dictate what you need burned for 1105.
 
I'm not sure what your talking about.
The board is complete other than the 8 missing roms.

Gauntlet I and II PCBs are identical, except for the ROMs and a custom chip (for copy protection). That chip is called the slapstick, and it is at location 10C. That protection has been defeated, so you can run either game without one, but that requires a modified ROM and a little hackery. So take a look at what you have at location 10C.
