I recently bought a NBA Showtime/NFL Blitz 2000 Gold Sports Station but the sound didn't work.

I found a cheap NBA Showtime/NFL Blitz 99 and the sound and everything else works perfectly. The only thing with this is you have to Flip a Dipswitch on the board to change games, which is OK but it's obviously not as convenient as the Sports Station method of picking right on screen.

So my question is since I have a working 2000 Gold Sports Station outside of the sound, is there any way to mix and match parts so I don't have to use the Dipswitch method to change games?

Sorry I'm pretty new to the arcade world and don't know how these PCBs/HDs work.

pull the sound, boot, and HDD and swap them. If you have no sound, you probably have a bad sound chip Pretty sure the scurioty chip is the same. Should say blitz 2000 on it. No need to change it..

I see the Chip that says Blitz 2000 but where are the Sound and Boot Chips at? And/or what would it say on the chips?

I am a complete noob so bare with me. Right now I swapped all three boards that were in there originally and put in the three I just bought plus the HD. So I need to pull the Blitz 2000 chip from the boards I removed? The chip in there right now says Showtime 25.

Are you saying I should use the old CPU board and use the new Sound board? But swap out the chip on the Sound board(Blitz 2000)? And of course use the old HD.
 
you can swap the sound IO cards if you wish, but you will still need to transfer the boot rom off the cpu and change HDD.

I was thinking, you can just swap the sound rom, the boot rom and hdd. Maybe the barcode chip if they ar different.
 
The reason I was thinking of using the Sound board I just bought is because the old board didn't work. I'm not sure what's wrong on the board so I figured why not use the new one since I know it works for sure. Is that logical? I could be way off here since I'm still learning.

Which chip is the sound rom? The one with the barcode? And which is the boot rom? The colored chip on the CPU board in that pic?

If I go the route of using the old CPU board and the new Sound board.. Wouldn't I just have to swap the chip with the barcode and use the old HD?
