FS Game: Medalist Spectrum Dart Board

What version of ROMs are in it?

U7 Mem 0 Version 3.25 (Only chip known to have a later revision which would be 3.26)
U8 Mem 1 Version 3.25
U11 Mem 4 Version 2.0
U12 Mem 5 Version Unknown (English Voice chip)
U43 System Revision 1.0 (Never updated by Medalist)

This also has the Neotec Monitor
 
I dont have a rom reader/writer If someone around me does I have no problems having them copied providing it can be done without damaging or erasing the content of the roms as Medalist does not sell them any longer. They will sell a complete populated logic board but not the individual roms any longer.
 
Exactly why I was asking. :)

If you do find someone to copy them, please let me know. I've been looking for late revision roms for my board for almost a year now. I'd be more than happy to pay for them.
 
Just curious but why are you looking to update your roms, was there some games on the newer roms that werent on the old ones? I ask because even If I can find someone to dump the roms and then burn them I would have to pay them to do it, then new chips are $10 a piece from what I can find So your looking at probably around $50.00 to $60.00 maybe more when you may not need an upgrade.

I contacted Medalist this morning and according to them I have the latest Rom versions available but they could not tell me what the changes between revisions was.
 
I don't know what the exact differences are. The list/display is definitely different. I'm hoping that the newer roms at least handle team cricket better. On mine (version 2.0 or 2.1) each player on each team needs to mark each number 3 times (6 marks per team) for that number to close. In the leagues I play in, teammates work together on each number and each team only needs to mark each number 3 times to close that number. Another thing is how my board handles averages, in 01 it does a round average, I'm used to a per dart average. My machine is home use, and I use it to practice. Being a practice board, none of this is high priority, but if a few things are handled better, I wouldn't mind upgrading. There isn't a whole lot of information readily available as you've said, but the price you've mentioned is pretty much right around the ball park of what I was expecting them to cost. I believe only 2 roms will have to be swapped, U7 and U8.

If you want to put up a list of games available on your roms, I'll do the same for mine later this evening. Maybe we'll be able to find out a few more differences.

I play in an NDA league with my better half (Took first place this season WOOHOOO)

We use MPR (Marks per round) in cricket
and PPD (Points Per Dart) in 01 games

This board does not support PPD and the MPR is very confusing unless your doing practice cricket countup.

Team cricket is the same as on your roms,where as both members have to put three marks in each cricket number for the number to be closed. this board does not support two position team play. its just the way the medalist leagues were back then and this board has no support for NDA scoring or handicapping. Since Medalist ran they're own leagues.

Got a chance to check my board. My roms are version 2.0. These roms have all the games you listed with the exception of 1101 and Nomination. However, they have two games that you didn't list, Master Half-it and 1001.

Also, my board does not have a league menu at all.

Too bad the later roms don't support NDA rules... Like you said, it may not be worth upgrading.

One last thing, how does your board handle dates? Mine can only go up to year 1999. If the 3.25 roms allow for date 2000 and up it could be nice in conjunction with the league menus. Any chance you could post a few screenshots of the league menus? And is player login and stat tracking possible?

Nope even the 3.25 roms stop at 1999.

No player or stat tracking
and no player login.

Basically your roms have the same thing as these ones with the only difference being the two different games. Nomination is a game that was worthless in my opinion and should have been left out.

Same with 1001.

I was selling this board because I got a great deal on a Shelti Eye 2 which supports the NDA system.
 
Well, crap. Thanks for all the information though, it definitely answered alot of my questions and saved me a little coin. Best of luck with your sale!
