The daughterboard is not needed to run Hogan's Alley, however, for Vs. Sky Kid or Vs. Freedom Force you need either that daughter board (The daughterboard is interchangeable between the two so you can't tell the difference), or one of the other compatible daughter boards.

But that daughterboard is only for Vs. Sky Kid or Vs. Freedom Force as far as the games it supports that you couldn't just plug in directly into the main board.
 
Check out this guys site. He seems to know just about everything there is to know about VS and his site has a ton of great information on it. Oh yeah, he is a member here but I cant remember his username.

I do know gumshoe does not use a daughterboard, just sold my kit. I have a gumshoe marquee available if you need one.
 
That's def' a Sky Kid type daughter board and in the manual it talked about how you can run any second game off the board in a dual system. You can run any game on that board.

So, looks like someone removed the other game (sky kid, etc.) and it just has Hogan's Alley on it. But I don't see how Hogan's Alley is working with the single ROM that I can see installed?

The picture shows 2 ROMs populated on the daughterboard.
 
Maybe they combined the roms to fit on a larger eprom.

Hey John, I have a couple original puckman pcbs.
