KyuKyoku Tiger - issue with controls

[Opethian]

I dont have any friends I dont need 2 player PM incoming! lol

I think (if my own copy of KT is any indication) that TC is quite common, especially since it's released in the US/World regions we live in, and KT is less common.

Go ahead and do the trade. There is a security chip that must also be changed. Simply swapping the ROMs won't work.

Can you explain more about this security chip? I have a Twin Cobra and I want to change the region to KT. I tried burning the KT roms but it boots to a 'HW error'. Which chip is it on the board?

I can't trade it, I live in the "end of the world", I might trade it locally for a few loose Megadrive carts, there's no market for arcade stuff here in my country.

Antarctica doesn't have a thriving arcade scene?

PCB fault somewhere on the input section. To fix it you'll need at least a logic probe.

[system11]

You need a meter with continuity test to trace them easily, when you find that area of the board you'll need the logic probe to work out what's actually going on. I have a broken one upstairs, I'll have a quick look later. Bear in mind it will only be the starting point, tracing heat related faults is often difficult. It sounds like something is warming up and failing.

[trap15]

You're not going to figure it out without a logic probe, almost certainly.

Bit late to actually help, but I believe this is a known 'thing' [probably shouldn't call it either a 'bug' or 'feature' ] with the mk1 s ... maybe even on the manual/instruction sheet you used to get with them.

There's some talk on it in here:

God I hate superguns.

It's really, really easy to make one that works, with a plastic tub and an old cab loom. Despite this, there are loads of junk ones floating about.
