I have figured out the problem on the 4 board TKG3 DK PCB set.
It needs new color PROMs.
I swapped out the ones in my TKG2 set and it worked perfectly.

Now I need to find some.
Does anyone know who does them? Or if you have set you'd be willing to sell me would be even better.

I know Mike's Arcade does but frankly I think $45 for a set of 3 PROMS is a little out there...plus I'm having all sorts of problems with them with a simple order I made with them...They keep sending me defective parts so I'm not too confident in them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, EROIC

What defective part did you get from Mikes so the rest of us can keep an eye out?

Yeah? I didn't see them listed on their site. I'll have to look again.

Well, as far as Mike's goes;
I ordered a set of Nintendo joystick ball tops (25mm) and when I got them only one would thread on properly. So I contacted them and they said send it back...I did (at MY expense apparently).
So today I got a package in the mail from them and I opened it up...and I got a bad feeling right away when I saw the "new" one. It was dirty. But a familiar kind of dirty...like how I sent it back, dirty.
When I first got em I was stripping adhesive off a Crystal Castles speaker grill and had some on my hands. After everything when I was putting it in the bag to send it back I noticed it had some adhesive residue on it but I decided I wouldn't clean it off because..why bother, right? It's defective.
So as soon as I saw the new one I tried to thread it onto my new ninty joystick shafts I got it for and it won't thread. I tried it on all my Ninty games just to make COMPLETELY sure I wasn't crazy and sure enough...It will not thread on any of them. But the other one I got from them in the first shipment will thread on all of them so it's definintly the "new" ball top.

I e-mailed them and the response I got was:
It's a new ball top, the one you sent back is sitting here on our workbench. We tested the new one on a Joy stick shaft here in the shop and it threaded on just fine"

Nothing else...Well if it's a "new" ball top I'd hate to see what condition a used one is sent out in. Frankly, one look at the threads will tell you they didn't thread it on ANYTHING. There's some residue or bad machining that is visable in the threads.

I e-mailed them back telling them about my tests and to check their inventory because they might have a bad batch of these ball tops...and that I want another new one.

It's not that it's expensive but that's it's agravating...and that I think they lied to me.

It would be a full-time job just updating my site
with the various proms and eproms I can provide, ;-)

(...still, I admit my site needs a major overhaul... )

Basically, if it's an arcade prom or eprom, for almost any game or hack,
I have it the chips in stock and can program them.

So if you don't see what you're looking for (...which is unfortunately quite likely...),
it's best just to send me an e-mail telling me what you're looking for.

I can have all 3 DK proms shipped for $25US.

Thanks Steph.

I actually found a set already but this is good to know because I will definitely need some more stuff in the near future.

I WILL be in touch soon.
