Quoted from vid1900:Exactly.
And then you have to worry about having the current board version.
"Wait, I have v1.1 board, are you saying that won't work???"
"Unfortunately, that game takes v2.2 or higher boards, although not higher than v4, because that's when the pinout changed...."
I’m sure OPs bitched when early SS boards starting shitting the bed too. I’m sure having a bunch of spare coils and a leaf adjustment tool was way easier at the time.
