Jrok's Pengo Enhanced Pac - Anyone Have?

[ChompingQuarters]

Just curious if anyone has this kit? Looks nice and high score saves are always nice. Especially when they work.

Couple of links to people who've have the kits and posted some comments. They're independent and I have no influence over their comments.

I highly recommend the kit. I have it in my Pengo and it works great.

Thanks. Found Jeff's link yesterday and I'm going to buy one soon enough. Just wish Pengo was restored and ready to head to the basement.

Ok the sight is not working for me right now...I was just there yesterday.

By the way....great timing on this subject!!

My Pengo had the custom z80 and to replace it with a standard z80 I need to burn decrypted ROMs...which I was just about to do. However, I would much rather have this kit if its possible to use without having to burn any ROMs since I have no means of doing so and would have to pay someone anyway.

so my question is...Can this kit be used on a board that has the custom z80 without having to burn new ROMs . I'm suspecting no but I can't even get to the sight to check it out.

thanks

The kit replaces the CPU and bypasses all the onboard ROMs. You don't need to burn any replacement ROM or change anything else on the board. It really is literally plug-and-play.
