Resolved... Roms Needed - Exidy 440 Collex'n - Program Roms

Hoping someone on here can help out. I've messaged Mike Doyle, but unfortunately no reply.

I've got an issue with my Exidy multi kit from the first run. If I run the program ROM test, I get error messages saying that 'CRC error at rom 1" and "... rom 4".

Most of the games play just fine. There are 2 that do not boot properly and 1 that gives me a hardware error. I'm assuming the rom issue may be driving this, at least in part.

What i need is the roms from the large Collex'n board. I suspect I need just the one titled 'Program 0 Revision 2.0', but wouldn't mind getting the rom files for the other bank roms in case they are in fact the ones causing the issues.

Any chance someone on KLOV has a first release Collex'n kit accessible, an eprom reader, and a desire to help a brother out??? If so, I'd greatly aprpeciate getting those rom files. I can burn them, but without the code being available, I'm stuck until I find the roms.

Thanks a ton.

Closing the loop on this one. Turns out I'm not all that bright. After acquiring the program roms (thanks accuratemold), pulling mine and comparing, all was well there. Replaced the 40 pin socket the daughter board for in as the original socket was crap. Checked and rechecked the nvram, voltages, etc... No change.

Long story short, I finally reread the installation instructions for the Collexn kit... Turns out the 3 games that weren't working on mine, in fact don't work by design on all Collexn boards. I'm not sure why Mike kept them in the menu, but whatever. Next time, I guess I should read the instructions twice. Note the last line in the picture. All other games work as expected. [emoji106]
