We had to send some PunchOut boards out for repair... they were all kinds of screwed up. We get them back, well over $100 later, and the game has corrupt graphics.
The bossman called the company and they gave him all kinds of crap about "Don't you know that PunchOut has 3 boards!?! It requires more voltage blah blah blah", basically rude and condescending.
ANYWHO, I get the boards back to my "shop" and start with what I consider basics as far as corrupt graphics go... I check the EPROMs. 4 bad graphics EPROMs.
I tried posting the text from the RomIdent, forum wouldn't let me.
To sum up... 2 corrupt graphics EPROMs, 2 from SuperPO.
4 Program Files from SuperPO (set 2)
Now... will they run with the Super Punchout program ROMs? I'd imagine since regular PunchOut roms verify as both Punchout and SuperPO...but none of them match with Set 2 (the ones I checked). So, again... will they run? Yeah, they seem to run okay... but it looks like they got carried away and burned the SuperPO graphics ROMs as well.
Something that could've been easily avoided by just getting the right files in the first place...
As far as the 2 that didn't verify? That's just sad right there. ... I'm sorry, there is NO excuse for that. I double and triple check all of my EPROMs when I burn them... even then I'd make DAMNED sure I have all the right files on the board, when I sent it back, before I'd give the customer any shit about anything or start talking to them like they're a 4 year old.
... as far as the voltage goes, 5.1 and 5.09 across all the boards.
Either way, I think it's safe to say we won't be dealing with The Golden Boys anymore.
