Although this is a bootleg it follows the original PCB closely.
Couple of easy fixes on this one.
First a character issue and second a sound issue.
As you can see in the video above, the screen is filled with “A”s and none of the text is correct
There is a seperate EPROM used for characters on this game.
Pulling this and reading back with my programmer yielded a valid dump for Black Tiger.
Checking the adjacent associated 74LS273’s and 74LS245 showed I had at least one pin floating.
I traced this back to a nearby TMM2016 which had D7 floating.
Replacing this fixed the screen
The sound issue was even easier. The sound program EPROM was completely smashed. Replacing it fixed the issue.
Job done.
