Need help identifying two pcb's...

[mastercello]

...seems the first one is a falcon board (2x18Pin).

I would like to make a Jamma adapter for both of it.
But without pinout it is a little bit dificult for me.

Also ROMIdent marked both of them as unknown!

Any help is very appreciated - thanks a lot.

Can't tell where the 12V goes, but I would guess the Falcon board most likely uses the Falcon pinout. It has the first 3 pins tied together (ground), and pin 9 looks like it ties into a bus that goes around the board. On the Falcon pinout, that's +5, so that makes sense, since it has to feed all the chips. (you would want to double check that of course...finding a pinout for a particular TTL chip and figuring out where +5 is on that chip should be able to let you find it on the edge connector). I'm not sure what the other one is, but it almost looks Nintendo-ish. It's got the grounds in the right spot, and that 2nd group of 2 from the left might be +5 (again, use the same method mentioned above) and it has an I8035 chip, which is what DK and DK Jr use, so it might be a bootleg of one of those (I haven't seen any that looked like that though).

The first one is Video Hustler....

Second is a Donkey Kong Jr. bootleg, I have one the same here.

@crazykongfan - All Falcon Boards have the same pinout?

@modessitt - Video Hustler? Never heard of it - is there a pinout available?

@kane086 - thanks, do you have a pinout for it? Or can you take a picture of the jamma harness for me?

Thanks a lot "boys"

Same as Nintendo's DKJR -> http://www.arcade-museum.com/pinouts-game/7612.html
Might want to double check though. Also, those ROM sockets are suppose to be populated.

The 2 on the left are the GFX1 data and the right is the sound data, I have them dumped here somewhere, I'll get back to you on that.

Excellent - many thanks for this!

Any extra hint for the Falcon one?

Agreed, it looks like a Falcon version of Video Hustler, and uses the normal Falcon pinout.
