I have these full upgrade kits for sale
They include Harddrive + Security Chip + Boot Eprom
You do not need the sound rom, the one on the Vegas board is universal to all these kits.

NBA Showtime Gold / NFL Blitz 2000 Gold Sportstation version 3.0 -65.00
NBA Showtime Gold / NFL Blitz 2000 Gold Sportstation version 1.5 -65.00
Guantlet Dark Legacy Version 2.52-65.00
War: Final Assault -65.00



You can upgrade a Legends boardset to Dark Legacy and War and vice versa; however you cannot change into NBA Showtime Gold / NFL Blitz 2000 without getting a different video card. If you already own a NBA Showtime Gold / NFL Blitz 2000 then you can buy a 40 dollar video card on ebay and then you can upgrade into Gauntlet Legends/DL and War, but the video card for the sportstation isnt as easy to find.

I own a NBA/NFL (not working) and would like to convert. How can you tell the difference from the two sound cards? If I look on ebay, what am I looking for?
 
Can I change Gauntlet Legends to NBA/Blitz?

I have a working 39 inch Gauntlet Dark Legacy right now. Is there a way to swtich that to NBA/Blitz (besides swapping out the whole pcb?) Is there a chip switch that can be done? (basically, I'm kinda bored with Dark Legacy and want to throw something else in there).
 
You need a different video card and then my kit will work. You need the Quantum3d card. Right now you have the Obisidian card. I havent seen any of the banshee cards on ebay , but I also havent looked in ahwile. I'll take a picture of the two video cards and post them. Im not sure exaclty which Banshee card you need(part number wise), but I'll look at mine and see what I can find out.

Let me clear something up. Conversions need much more than just a $40 dollar video card with the kits. At least those with 49way sticks need more. Read on..

I have a Sportstation and decided to do a conversion to Guantlet DL. In my findings let me say this. Hardware 100% needed is the Security Chip, Boot Chip, Hard Drive, Video Card for Gauntlet Vegas, and Gauntlet Vegas Jamma Wiring Harness + Control Panel Harness. Yes, the wiring is different between the sportstation nfl/nba showtime and Gauntlet DL. You have all of the above and then the conversion can be done. Same goes for if you want to convert from Gauntlet to Sportstation. I know cause I've been elbow deep into my conversion and this is the issues I ran into. I have a sportstation. I switched out the video card for a Gauntlet Video card, I also switched out the security chip, boot chip and HD. The machine booted into Gauntlet just fine once I changed dip switches around. That's another issue. The dipswitch settings are different and will need to be modifed. Everything looked fine until I realized the controls were junked up. That's when I did some digging and realized the wiring is totally different. I have the Gauntlet Vegas Wiring harness's on order. Once that arrives I should have a 100% successfull conversion. Now this is for a system that has 49way joysticks as well so I can't speak for 8 way conversions.

Total Expense so Far
Vid Card $39.00
Chips + HD $65.00
Wiring Harness $30.00

Total for conversion $135.00 + My labor time.. lol However, I am gaining knowledge.
I'm hoping that once I get the conversion down, I can change back and forth in about 30 minutes.

Good Luck..

That's very interesting to me because I'm trying to get other games to work with my GL wiring harness and having issues... similar problem...

From what I've read, Gauntlet L and DL is all that will work on your harness. It's propriatary. If you decide to go Showtim/Blitz you need the harness that was made specifically for it. At least that is what I've found in my research. I'm trying to get mine down to where all I have to switch is the control panel harness that goes from pcb to the I40 board (which controls the 49 ways sticks) and of course the chips and vid card.
 
So from what Im gathering from guys is that if you want to use the 49 way joysticks then you need to do some extra wiring.. I was only using 8 way sticks which kinda suck but work. Im curious as to were you ordered your Gauntlet wire harness from?

Right here: http://cgi.ebay.com/GAUNTLET-LEGACY...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item518cdd6058

Was the only place I could find them and for 32.00 bucks I figured that wasn't bad. Now as for 8way sticks I have no idea what the wiring situation may be. It may be open and shut case. Nothing needed, I just don't know. I only know the 49way headache.
 
I'm happy to discuss 8 way sticks with that game but unless topless wants his thread completely hijacked we should probably not do it here...

I've been fighting to get 8 way sticks working on this game for some time...
 
I was over at byoac and read something about the 8 ways. A guy said he had a Gauntlet DL with 8 ways and said that it was a pain to acurratley target enemies with diagonals and such. Maybe he had some crappy 8 ways idk. I wouldn't think it would be that tough.
