DU Update: My Unit is Long and Heavy
#248948 - 03/15/11 09:09 PM




We got Heavy Unit U.S.A. Version. It seems pretty rare, I've never seen it before. From the rom labels it seems to have some pretty big changes. Lots of them are labeled differently from current sets in MAME, not just 2 as you might expect. I don't know what all the differences are yet. I'll add a picture of the pcb later, it needs to be cleaned badly.

You guys will have to check it for differences later. I just had time to boot it up and take a vid and will dump it soon, I'm really busy for the next couple of days. The seller had the setting set to easy it seems and loaded with 6 or 7 lives so I couldn't compare it well in just a quick game but lots of roms are labeled differently.

"It was the best of times, It was the blurst of times." "Blurst of times" is still winning hands down for now.

MC Ewe.

We had the same situation going on with the MCU in Heavy Unit. The doc's images were good, but not amazing. We typed them in, but asked for higher magnification images, knowing there may be some issues. Just the other day, the Doc sent us those higher resolution images. Phil typed in the images (I didn't finish my typing), fixed a couple of bits we had improperly typed with the lower-resolution images, and hooked up the MCU.

Maybe a bug fix/revision version?





o/t:

A recent purchase of Chicago Coin TV Pin Game paperwork included logic schematics for Chicago Coin TV Pin Game as well. It means maybe a slightly better chance of these types of non-cpu games might have a chance of being emulated in the future. I am not sure if any paperwork is online for either the Exidy version or Chicago Coin version. Chicago Coin version is now accounted for. TV Pin Game uses a chime for some sound effects as what parts catalog states. I only recall seeing Exidy TV Pinball myself...way back then...and never played TV Pinball. The game wasn't of any interest to me back then compared to say Nintendo WG. ;-)

Since it's a USA version, it must have a secret NASCAR mech.
