I picked up a cheap STV board set. Now I have to get it working. I have be discussing this with some members here via PMs. Thanks for the help. But I would like to open it up to a larger audience.
I have several question:
MAINBOARD: This is just a computer so if there is an issue with it I should be able to exchange another computer for it? Would a different computer speed effect the speed of the game play?
MEMORY: How much memory is supposed to be on board? This one came with one stick or 128k in the outer bank. The pictures I found on here show memory in the inner (bank closest to the center of the board) bank. What should it have?
MEGAJAMMA: I understand that this board contains some kind of security chip. What error occurs without it? I am trying to perform basic trouble shooting without this board attached. How far should I be able to get? Do I need all the JAMMA controls connected to make the game work?
HARDDRIVE: I think that this is the main source of errors. The game does not appear to be in MAME so I can not find a CHD to restore. There are CF drive replacements but they appear to be only 2 gig and the hard drive is 20 gig? What is the best course of action here?
