Recently, there was a lot of talk regarding the black label ROM chip swap using a MAME dump for DoDonPachi DOJ. I was curious if the same thing could be done with Ibara as well, considering that there are ROM dumps for the Black Label version out in the wild. Any thoughts???

Can Ibara board be converted to Black Label with a ROM chip?
Re: Can Ibara board be converted to Black Label with a ROM chip?
In theory? Maybe.
In practice? Have you even looked at an SH-3 board before?

I don't think any of the chips are socketed, so I think practically speaking it's not doable.
However I have heard of other games being updated for bugfixes, so there's possibly an interface that allows reprogramming?

There is, the JTAG (bottom right corner, 9-pin connector, desoldered from all boards except the original Mushihimesama).shmuppyLove wrote:However I have heard of other games being updated for bugfixes, so there's possibly an interface that allows reprogramming?
However, sound ROMs are not programmed through the JTAG, so if IKBL needs different audio ROMs, hope you know someone with wave soldering machinery.

Are you talking about the serial debug D connector thing? Because the JTAG connector is the grey 14pin socket in the middle of the board, and it's very much on every pcb.
fuck yeah carpet pcb
P5 (CONNECTOR) Most likely a serial connector. Only mounted on early Mushihimesama PCB's

I believe Cave actually reprogrammed some older Ibara Kuro PCBs back to plain Vanilla PCBs. They have the serial stickers like IB-212 and such, like regular Ibara Kuro PCBs.

Fight the man. Start calling BL games "Chocolate"

My mistake on that, doesn't change the "you probably can't do this yourself" answer though.kernow wrote:Are you talking about the serial debug D connector thing? Because the JTAG connector is the grey 14pin socket in the middle of the board, and it's very much on every pcb.
