Pepper 2 to Venture?

...

I wouldnt convert it. I know that Pepper 2 has a little daughter board hanging off that Venture doesnt.
You should save your time and just buy a Pepper II pcb.
I might have one, just have to look.

some ventures do not have the extra board and some do. That board is not really the determining factor from my experience and hooking up that board if not needed should not cause any damage. . I've never tried a pepper II to venture swap but in my attempted pepper II to hard hat swap it appeared that you not only need the correct eprom images but also a few extra rom chips that have game specific info.

If I'm wrong in the case of venture and it is only an eprom swap then that extra board is a non issue. If it's needed you simply leave it there. If it's not than you very carefully remove one of the ribbon cables and tie the board directly bypassing that board all together. Just be very careful with those ribbon cables. Seems every time I try and remove one I either break a pin on the connector or stab myself and draw blood and probably at least one time have done both.

Although I'm sure there is a source to make these cables so far I have only found the cable and the pins. Haven't found the housing and most importantly the crimp tool to properly crimp the cable.
 
Ill trade a venture control panel for pepper 2 control panel.. trade you marquees too! I know the stick isn't original, but its a wico I believe.

Did you ever get that to work? I've got a few extra Venture boards and would love to convert one to Hard Hat someday if possible.
 
WHAT? Didn't I just ship you Pepper II art? :)

Venture is my personal Grail!!! However most of the people here will ask "WHY". :)
