wtb: Chicken Shift

Sorry Jon, I can't help.... but I always wondered which was rarer, Snacks N Jaxson or Chicken Shift?

On my short term of Bally Sente collecting, never seen one of these. According to VAPS, now I know why.
 
good luck... I've been looking since 2009... http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=82340&highlight=chicken+shift

Possibly the best control panel ever... :


... Blue things, Red things ... Have you ever played on a dedicated cabinet before ? I did way back when and have fond memories of this game. It sucks I never knew how rare this game was but some day hopefully I'll find one. Also I didn't really think any one else liked it.


And Jon if you get your hands on it do the community a favor and scan the marquee / cpo !

Yeah, it's a fun game!

When the game gets faster, you really have to concentrate to press the correct coloured button.Good luck to both of you in finding one...or two.

Too bad it's so rare. Every collection should have a Chicken Shit game.
 
I play this in MAME all the time. Didn't that require ROM dumping?

Yeah it has all the EPROMs but it doesn't have the security PAL chip's dump, they're extremely tough to do and the MAME driver probably just has a software work-around to bypass the protection, I think what it does is juggle around the EPROM addresses by encoding them with one PAL chip on the motherboard and decoding using the one on the ROM card.

That sure looked pretty flying over my head!
 
I'd love to figure out of to reprogram the ROM cards since they're all the same, unfortunately they have security PAL chips which nobody has dumped yet.

The rom cards are not all the same. I have been studying the Bally Sente system for some time.
I will take some pics of the variations i have. Snake pit is different than Stocker which is different than Hat Trick. I had steph from hobby roms burn chicken shift roms for me and after a lot of experimenting I was able to work around the pal security with an unpopulated hat trick cart. I love the game and wish I had a cp and or marquee to scan and recreate. I will take some pics and post soon.

Cool! How did you manage to get around the chip and what does it do? Did you have to modify the main board too? I'd love to create a Stompin card too, the manual has the schematics for the floor controls and while it would be a project it looks quite reproducible.

Not sure what the pal actually does. I have so many carts and I removed all the pal chips and tried each one until I found one that worked. Steph burned me Stompin, Snaxon Jackson, and a few others as well. Sadly it got moved to the back of the project pile, and I lost the box all the roms sets were in. Schildt happens when you start too many projects simultaneously. One of them being gutting your entire kitchen down to bare walls, ceiling and floors. I have a NOS Stompin marquee so that project was on my list as well. Wanted to see how a first gen DDR would do.
