SPI SXX2D RAIDEN FIGHTERS JET

[Sir Arthur ahf]

Hello guys,

I got a Raiden Fighters Jet w/o the mobo (JP). The thing I did not know is that RFJ uses a revision of the SPI hardware

Not easy to find some info but... voilá I found this blog

Here it says that you need the SXX2D revision of the mobo, but on some other pics you can see the SXX2C

Anyone knows If you can use both?

Cheers,

No, you don't need a particular version motherboard to run Jet. There have been lots of SPI rumors, like that Jet ran the CPU at a faster clock speed (for some reason Ghegs' RF Emporium page claims this, it's not true). This is another bad rumor. Jet was a later release so you often find it with the late revision motherboard - that's probably all there is to it.

I don't know why Seibu made the first motherboard revision or what changed. The next and final revision - the small version motherboard - was likely done for cost-cutting reasons, just like Raiden Fighters 2000 and the OKI system variants. The small version motherboard seems to have pretty bad video quality compared to the original so I'd avoid it.

Thanks Ed, but aparently It is true.

I already hace VP NV and RF2, both with the same mobo (SXX2C 1995) and It doesn't work with Jet

This is th screen I got when I booted it up
