View source for Repairing Metal Slug X

This guide is for repairing Metal Slug X carts with dead Altera MAX chips.  Either the game ROMs can be transferred to a PROGBK1 or the dead MAX chip can be removed from the PROGEOP.  Both methods need a hacked ROM which is linked at the bottom of this page.

== A. Using donor PROGBK1 ==

# Set jumpers correctly on BK1 board using this as reference: [http://mvs.gotwalls.com/index.php/File:Last_blade_set3_b1_front.jpg]
# Move all ROMs from the EOP (except for P1) to the corresponding places on the BK1
# Replace the BK1 P1 with a 27C800 containing the hacked ROM image

== B. Fixing the PROGEOP ==

(todo)

* remove MAX
* replace P1 with hacked ROM on 27C800
* patch D0-D7, /E /G etc.
* get ls74 and ls08 hooked up
* get ls139 hooked up for V ROMs
* whatever else, lots more to do compared to BK1 donor swap

= P1 replacement =
