Warning ! This page contains a build log, and therefor schematics and layouts which aren't tested or which contain errors. DO NOT attempt to build anything described here.

Build log

Both proto 1 boards sent to fab --Furrtek 23:43, 6 August 2012 (CEST)

Boards received, will start tests the 9th --Furrtek 01:22, 4 September 2012 (CEST)

According to documentation, MAX II isn't 5v tolerant. --Hpman 15:40, 5 September 2012 (CEST)

True, will do basic durability tests. If they fail, I'll add level translators as suggested. --Furrtek 02:28, 7 September 2012 (CEST)

Errors on first prototype:

• 4MB/ROMOE swapped because of part-footprint link wasn't updated.
• 245s in the wrong direction (AB/BA), added an ALS04 inverter on direction pins to fix.
• Misunderstood the AND logic for the 245 /OEs, fixed with cuts and patches.
• Missing connections for LOAD, H and EVEN to the CPLD, added jumper wires to pins 48, 49 and 50 respectively.
• Zoom problems, will try adding the RC delay on EVEN.

Puzzled works, KOF95 seems to work with some bad colors (maybe bad palette ram), Metal Slug 2 resets at the title screen.

--Furrtek 04:21, 10 September 2012 (CEST)

MS2 plays first level at least now. Sent proto to Anzymus for further testing. Commited the fixes to the schematics and layouts. --Furrtek 06:17, 13 September 2012 (CEST)

Getting proto back from Anzymus, MSX and KOF98 don't boot. Will borrow them and investigate. Sending proto and test cart to Goraeve to test on older AES --Furrtek 08:10, 24 September 2012 (CEST)

Goraeve confirmed more pronounced glitches on shrinking with samsho5 with first generation AES. Passes test cart without noticeable glitches. Will try bumping the delay resistor or adding a gate. Getting back the proto, KOF98 from Amano jyaku and MSX from Kuk next week. --Furrtek 03:23, 10 October 2012 (CEST)

Got proto back, tested KOF98 and MSX: they work. Tested a Pop and Bounce boot which resets at stage start, will investigate further. --Furrtek 00:05, 20 October 2012 (CEST)

Second proto boards lost (great !), ordered them back at the beginning of the month --Furrtek 09:45, 25 December 2012 (CET)
