Hey All,
I had a friend that may be needing a Midway Hyperdrive board. I will probably post that in the wanted section shortly. I know Happ has all of Midways old parts and the custom chips are getting scarce, but as popular as these games were that used the chips, has any one backwards engineered them yet. I think the chip he was needing was the Gemini, anyone know a source. Its not really my problem, but I thought I would throw it out there in case you guys knew something. I know I don't. Anyone have a list of custom chips by midway game. Maybe this one shares a chip with some game that is less rare. Thanks in advance guys.
 
If I recall correctly, those custom chips were done in the same way the WPC era security chips were in WMS/Bally pinballs (as it was the same company back then). Someone figured out a way around those by making custom chips so I imagine however they did it should apply to the midway videos.
