Using the Moon Patrol HSS Kit hardware I changed it a little to be a Lady Bug HSS Kit. Probably not going to be the best seller but it was easy and uses hardware I have.
Software is in the last stages of testing.

These will be built and sold through Slava Madrit, you will probably hear from me or him when they are ready... just curious who would be interested.

Lady Bug already has it's own High Score Table, it just saves it to nvram.
Free Play and Coin drop with attract mode has also been added.

Any interest in this?
 
Please check to make sure your z80 is socketed... apparently some are not.
If it is not you will need to desolder the z80 and put a socket there. All the ones I have seen have had a socketed z80
 
If the interest is there, it could happen. It would just need a new eprom since the address decoding appears to be the same.
Probably a couple of days worth of work... if there was enough of a need I would do it.

WOuld also be interested in a SNap Jack and Cosmic Avenger as well.
 
The Ladybug HSS should be ready in a couple of days. Jason and I are just testing to make sure no "bugs" surprise us. If you want one either PM me or send me an email to [email protected]. Please include the email address I should use to send you a paypal invoice. They will be $45 shipped. Just like the Moon Patrol kits. Thanks.

Code is done... final tests this week.
If you want one shoot Slava an email at [email protected]
 
One item that should be brought up is that version 1.0 does not add the High Score Table to the attract mode.

Right now the way it works without the kit is that you don't see the HST in attract mode, only when you drop a coin or when the game ends.

The since the kit does free play and coin drop with attract mode you don't see it before the game starts. You will however see the HST after each game regardless of getting a high score or not.

Hacking in the HST during attact mode would possibly introduce more bugs and not replicate the original roms. Please take this into consideration before ordering a kit.
 
An update on Cosmic Avenger / Snap Jack (since it was asked about in this thread). It would be possible to have a multi-game with Cosmic Avenger and Snap Jack (saving high scores and free play with attract). It would be slightly more expensive since it would need to small daughter boards to bank switch the graphics roms. Any interest in something like this?
 
souzilla - if you have a chance can you take a look at Tutankham and maybe Galaxian? Those are two I'd love to have freeplay w/attract mode /hs save on.

PS I'm itching for a Moon Patrol now!
 
Let's see how well Lady Bug does before I invest in any other games. Slava is officially building and selling these now. He has also taken over building and selling the Moon Patrol kits as well
 
The Ladybug High Score Save kits are working great. If you want one, send me a PM or email me at [email protected].

I also have a bunch of Moon Patrol High Score Save kits as well.

The Ladybug HSS should be ready in a couple of days. Jason and I are just testing to make sure no "bugs" surprise us. If you want one either PM me or send me an email to [email protected]. Please include the email address I should use to send you a paypal invoice. They will be $45 shipped. Just like the Moon Patrol kits. Thanks.
 
Bump

If Lady Bug sells well then I will do Cosmic Avenger and Snap Jack as seperate High Score Save Kits. The CA/SJ mutli is probably not worth the time
