Jumping PCB info

Oct 052014

Been doing a few bits with muddymusic’s Jumping PCB.
I wanted to see how the C-Chip substitute ROM was wired into the circuit so ive made a small schematic and reversed the address decoder PAL.

click the pic for full size.

Here are the equations for the address decoder too. Ive renamed to the pins to something more suitable for human consumption.
/* Inputs */

Pin 1 = A23;
Pin 2 = A22;
Pin 3 = A21;
Pin 4 = A20;
Pin 5 = A19;
Pin 6 = A18;
Pin 7 = A17;
Pin 8 = A16;
Pin 9 = A15;
Pin 10 = A14;
Pin 11 = A13;
Pin 13 = FC0;
Pin 14 = FC1;
Pin 23 = FC2;

/* Outputs */

Pin 15 = CA12; /* A12 of C-Chip replacement ROM */
Pin 16 = CA13; /* A13 of C-Chip replacement ROM */
Pin 17 = CA14; /* A14 of C-Chip replacement ROM */
Pin 18 = CA15; /* A15 of C-Chip replacement ROM */
Pin 19 = LROM; /* Chip enable for other ROM’s */
Pin 20 = A; /* Pin 1 of 74LS138. Input A */
Pin 21 = B; /* Pin 2 of 74LS138. Input B */
Pin 22 = C; /* Pin 3 of 74LS138. Input C */

/* Equations */

!A23 & !A22 & !A21 & !A20 & A19 & !A18 & !A17;

The A, B and C outputs from the PAL feed into a 74LS138. In order to select the C-Chip substitute A and B must be HIGH and C must be LOW. From the equations (or just looking at the MAME source code) we can work out that the C-Chip ROM lies at address 0x80000.

So, not a great deal of info but its pretty interesting all the same.

Another Jumping PAL dump

I dumped another PAL from the Jumping board today. Like the other this one was unlocked so now we have a full set of PAL dumps for the Rainbow Islands bootleg.
This PAL is found on the lower PCB of the stack.

funkycochise has confirmed the above Wonderboy III set to be working.

Thanks to both Dion for providing these files and to funkycochise for testing them and letting me know.

U.S Navy and Jumping PAL dumps added

muddymusic dumped the PAL from his U.S Navy CPS1 board and has tested it. It is marked as CA22B.
Ive also got a Jumping board from muddymusic’s which I am currently working on. There is a PAL20L8 chip that does the address decoding for the CPU which is now dumped. At this point Ive not tested it as the board set is in bits but I will test as soon as I can. The device is also unlocked so im pretty confident the dump will be OK.

Altered Beast (317-0069) confirmed working

channelmaniac has tested the Altered Beast (317-0069) set as working.

Thanks to Channelmaniac for this.
A lot of these sets still need testing so please let us know if you have tested any.

Thanks
