    As a Born Again Classic Bally Fanatic, I am very interested in what you are doing here! The possibilities seem endless!

    Will these boards replace both the standard and Squawk & Talk sound boards? What about the reverb on Centaur?

    Great job! Please add me to what ever list you have for updates and such!

    Thanks!

    My custom controller boards arrived today as well along with my 2nd Squawk & Talk board. At some point I will dive in and see if I change some rules on one of my games. When I get more comfortable with the process, I may look into a custom game of my own design! Of course I'll need Aurich to do my art work on the playfield, backglass and cabinet!

    I installed my boards today in my SBM, but I don't see a spot for my J4 connector from my old lamp board. Is it even used?

    Also, is there a "quick setup" guide to install the boards and have them working with my game's original software.

    Thanks,

    Quoted from gabegabegabe:

    I had the exact same question. Jim's reply...
    "The J4 connector on the old lamp driver is not used in this new configuration. That connector was the data control input for the old system."

    Awesome! Thanks for the response!

    Has anyone installed their boards and the original software? If so, can you please provide instructions on how to do that? I have gone through the docs online and can't seem to find that.

    Thanks

    Quoted from winteriscoming:

    As in software that reproduces the original game exactly? That would require some work on your part to get to that point unless someone else has already done it. To my knowledge there's no possibility of loading up an original rom or any kind of simple conversion to convert rom into something usable on this system.

    Hmmm... I was under the impression that these boards could simply be used as replacements. My whole purpose for buying these were to tweak the current game files to add sound, lights, etc... I guess I should have done my homework and read into this more.
