Hey Souz, i hope to get a few minutes tonight to try it out. I will be out of town for a little while after that so if i don't get to it tonight, it will have to wait.
Sorry man, i really want to see what was up. Life keeps getting in the way of my hobby!! I am hoping it is just something on my board!!!

No problem, just curious if the code is ok or it needs more investigation

Anyone have a chance yet? Going to switch to another project soon, but did not want to leave this one open ended. Would love to know if anyone else got it working (or not)

Lilman is my source and he is insanely busy, at the moment. I hope he comes through, in a couple of days.
Just installed mine. So far everything looking okay. For some reason on the left monitor I now have the video shifting downward a line at the time when screen is scrolling. Never been an issue before and most prevelent during attract mode. Will give it some time to see what I can figure out.
Thanks again for doing this. Very fun!

Hmm... if it was the HSS mod I would think it would happen on both sides.
Not really sure what you mean when you say it shifts down a line at a time.
I would suggest checking that everything is seated properly.

So far the tally is
One Resetting after starting
One working fine
One working find with weird monitor issue on the left monitor
Not sure what to make of this... anyone else try?
One thing I did notice is that these VS boards are extremely sensitive. Anyone know why, there does not appear to be too much to them.

I will be burning them tonight and will report back with my results. Sorry it took so long because I really appreciate you working on these.
Ok. Did a little more work.
Monitor issue resolved. For some reason I needed to calibrate one of my monitors after install. Not sure why since I never moved cabinet, but no worries, it is all fixed.
Now much bigger issues:
Playing co-op 2 player. In the below example, player 1 can be on either side
Once one player reaches score to qualify for HS table and the opposite player game overs and tries to continue, both sides instantly resets.
If player one has not qualified for HS table and player two game overs and tries to continue, game allows continue but the minute player one then dies, game freezes on player one "insert coin to continue" and player twos screen goes black, no sound, and freezes.
Will keep playing to help refine issues.

Good news and bad news. The good news is I think I can repto the issue in MAME. The bad news is that I can repro it with original roms. I will investigate more

It's your call... if you want to wait it is fine but if you want to install them and give feedback that would be useful as well
So, should I wait on burning roms? Still haven't gotten around to it.
The wife says that the second screen has turned black a few times when she had friends over playing it. She just thought my red tent was messing up and didnt tell me till a few days ago. So she has to live with regular balloon fight roms for now.
This is already being addressed, but for anyone who has this installed, here is what happened to me:
Happens either side being Player A and Player B, makes no difference.
1) Player A plays and qualifies for HS table in a two player co-op game. Player A runs out of lives. Player A is asked to continue and does. Regardless of what level Player A ends on with his game over (and what level Player B is paused at), if player A continues game, both players restart at Level 1. The minute player A dies once the game freezes. Player A has blank screen dark which is locked out from controls and Player B sees "Insert coin to continue". If Player B hits player 1 or player 2 button they now get a single player game.
2) Player A plays and qualifies for HS table in a two player co-op game. Player B runs out of lives. Player B is asked to continue and does. Both sides reset back to attract.

Blkdog7, JJdemu, Mike 29, Lilman.................
Where do we stand with this? Both John's hadnt burned the roms, as of 2 months ago. Mike got it to work with issues, as well as JJ.
Did we fix the bugs and report to Jason or are we dead in the water? I dont have a burner, so that's why I'm asking. Thanks guys.

There are issues in two player mode (one player mode works fine from what I gather).
I have not had time to look at it recently. One of those cases where real hardware acts differently than mame. I hope to come back to it soon
