Need Sportstation v3.0 Hard Drive image/chd

Hi all,

My HD went out on my blitz/showtime sportstation and need to get it up ASAP. Anyone know of anywhere I might be able to download a hard drive image or chd of the 3.0 version.. or maybe would anyone be willing to send me a copy through one of those large file send sites?? The only CHDs I have found do not appear to be the 3.0 version and will not work.

Thanks all!!

Jim

Not familiar with what the rom versions are but the stickers have:

Blitz 2000 Gold/Showtime Gold Ver3.0 U27 /U18
Showtime 25" U37

Does that help?

Thanks much for the help!!!!

For the roms, It looks like their is only 1 version. That should mean that CHD should work. Maws didn't have MD5 info for chd to verify your image is good. I noticed that nba/nfl hd used is less than blitz 2k.. that doesn't make sense to me since it should have more than normal blitz2k.

Only other info I got is:
DISK_IMAGE( "nbanfl", 0, SHA1(f60c627f85f1bf58f2ea674063736a1e516e7e9e)

I don't think that the Sportstation has the video clips that play in the attract mode on the other Blitz games. Which I assume would eat up a lot of disk space.
 
I thought they were all the same as well but did some research last night after the HD I created with MAME did not work. It goes past all the tests successfully, does the flash of the midway boot loader or whatever, the screen goes black, the dot on the number/letter display flashes about 10 or 15 times and then it reboots and starts all over.

From what I can see, there is two versions. The V2.5 is for the ROMs that you have to select the game on the board before or at startup. This from what I can tell is the version available in Mame and the CHD I tried. The v3.0 version is the version where the player selects the game when they start playing and the version I have (AKA sportstation). Unfortunately I cannot find an image/CHD for this one and the hard drives are not compatible with each other.

Anyone have a copy of v3.0 they could share with me or know where I could download it? I would be willing to send some cash via paypal if it succesfully works for your time.

Thanks all!!

Damn, I guess I'll need it too then. Romident didn't show version numbers. If you can, zip up bins for your roms. I like to check them out. You should run the bin thru romident and see if it is known.

Incorrect -- yes it does.

If any of you guys are wanting the CHD for 3.0 sportstation let me know. I have my own ftp server and can give you access. PM for details.
 
same issue

I have a Sportstation as well and My hard drive died. I have not been able to find any chd's or any replacement drives to buy anywhere? Does anyone have any suggestions? I am trying to repair my drive right now using spinrite, but it look like it might be too far gone.

We just got a 3.0 Hard Drive from them for $25 + $5 shipping (if I recall correctly) and it fixed our issue...
 
Hate to bring up an old topic here but does anyone happen to still have a 3.0 CHD available download?

I can provide FTP access to one of my servers for someone to upload this if needed.
