Arrrr. Got another box of buried pirate treasure arrrr.
Here is a photo of the actual box that arrived today:
And here is a pic of me opening it up:
This was me studying the map in order to find it, had to find Singular Eyeballed William to get it (was quite an ordeal):
Here I am hanging out with some friends:
Lebber me squee here. Shibber me timbies and just lebber. Me. Squeeeee. Arrrr, it's chips ahoy. Got an impossibly rare version of Crazy Kong II upgraded by Linear Electronics.
It has an added daughter card with an extra rom, dip switches, and some other chip which is sanded down. Maybe a pal or just ram. What does the card do? Most likely it speeds Mario/Jumpman up, possibly similar to the speed of a chicken with his head cut off. Bakooooock! Thus Crazy Kong becomes even crazier.

Next up in the box, hmmm well from the initials written on it it's some form of Ms. Pac-Man but hardly anything matches currently dumped roms so, arrrrr, wait and squee, wait and squee.. But sometimes I can't squee what is going on. Squeems like I can't squee five feet in front of my damn face. You know I guess it's like they squay, sometimes you can't squee the forest for the trees. Anyway, I don't know what it is, but something new.

Another bit in the box of note was a booty of Tank Battalion just labeled as Tank. It's not very interesting itself, looks like all they did is remove the Namco logo, but I think it might be a 1:1 boot, the chip mame has as missing from 2L looks like a prom from a distance but appears to actually be ram so that flag can probably be removed...

Well all the roms are the same except for the the graphics so I assume so. I doubt it works but I'd gladly donate it to Derrick or someone else if it was helpful getting us off the samples if that is what you are asking.
> crazy konk upgrade kit, maybe is for crazy kongs olders sets
You mean in addition to? Maybe so but all the main roms match CK II in mame. Only the soldered rom on the daughter card is new to us (and whatever the sanded chip is, probably a pal that will need simulation code).

True story about the emulation of Tank Battalion... I was on IRC chatting with Brad Oliver (who went by "hoserama" back then) and brought this game up to him. He asked me to DCC him the ROM images and he'd look at it. I do so, and in an hour or two later, it was emulated 
(The time period given above may not be accurate. I'm not exactly sure of the time it took, but I remember it was really short.)

That crazy kong board reminds me there's a prototype QBert daughterboard floating around. No one is sure exactly what it does. The owner has asked several people to look at it but so far I don't think anyone has, at least successfully.
