Converting Turbo Outrun to original Outrun

I made these pages for personal reference when I did the conversion but someone else may find them useful.
Outrun is a very flaky board due to it's age and being operated for decades. Working boards still fetch good money so some times it's cheaper to buy a turbo board and convert it.


Naomi

Not very exciting but it's not in Mame and needs archiving. The 27c322 rom dump from Club Kart Prize this game is Naomi 1 not 2 despite what system16.com says. I have the cartridge but currently no means of dumping the smt roms.

Mega-Tech

Something else that may interest Mega-Tech owners, Nipedley at http://www.nipedley.net/ has documented a way to play Mega Drive / Genesis cartridges on a Mega-Tech motherboard.

Site down, the files can be found here along with some other mega-tech stuff.

After buying a Mega-Tech machine I became obsessed with tracking down a Streets of Rage cartridge (the best game on the system). After lots of ebay and google searches nothing turned up, the game wasn't even in Mame but I did find someone on arcadecontrols forums who had it.

My plan was to borrow his cart dump the roms and make my own cartridge. To see if this was possible I first tried converting World Champ Soccer to Sonic, another good game hard to track down.

Anyway long story a little less long swapping the roms works a treat.

Hello

Hello welcome to Not In Mame, I hate 'blogs' but this in an ideal dumping ground for data and information I have gathered over the years as a video arcade game collector / enthusiast.
