Just an FYI for anyone in the future with a moonco popeye bootleg pcb.
Pinout listed on mikes arcade did not work for me, I had to switch some things to get the picture to lock in with correct sync and controls are on the solder side for P1, not parts side.
In my quest I also found a great post from another member with a layout of every chip on the board and also a parts list for anyone looking for it
I have attached a copy of the dip settings that came with these bootlegs from manufacturer and a shot of the pinout I used, that I had to pull from the wayback machine.
** when making your jamma adapter, dont forget to ground SPK- on your adapter **
Also watch the pin numbering, I made my adapter exactly in reverse order based on attached pinout, numbers are correct but locations as they layout on adapter are flipped visually (if that makes sense)
Hope this helps someone in the future.

Popeye Bootleg PCB – Arcade Collectors
I acquired a few untested Popeye Bootleg boards recently and thought I would have a go at repairing them. Most of the boards were missing various bits like capacitors, or crystals, so I replaced all the parts I could obviously see missing and thought I would see how things were from there.
