Hi All

I have a couple of River Patrol Boards, one is a spare the other one works.

It works on the screen using the Falcon Pinouts. IE RGB and sync are true to Falcon Pinouts, and 5V and 12V and GND are correct too

The sound, and the inputs are different though

I can't coin up or start or hear anything.

I wonder if anyone has the pinouts for the game please.

Thank you
Cheers
 
I've got 2-3 of them... I *think* mine were ORCA pinout, not Falcon, but it's been a while since I played with them...

Hi
Thanks for the reply, I checked the orca pinouts here and it seems they are 22 pins, wheras mine have 18.

Any chance of digging one out for a look, to confirm if they are 22 or 18 pins (x2) please?

You could short random pins to ground with a piece of wire and see which ones coin you up, start play, move left, etc etc. It's a pain in the ass but it would work.

Yes, I have done that before, it was painful.

I may have to do it, if successful I will post them up here.

I was hoping to save a few hours. :)
 
Success!

And wired up the adapter with the same RGB & sync as Falcon, and same 5V, 12V and gnd as falcon pinouts and got this

The following need working out

Coin, left, right, start p1, and 2

I had a bad ram signal first so replaced that and it was great to see it working
