Machine: Bride of Pinbot, The
Williams, 1991I own a bride of pinbot and it's running version l-8 which is a larger chip than the l-6. I had to jump the board to accept the larger chip. My question is if i burn l-6 on the larger chip will it work? I'm kinda lazy and don't want to keep jumping the board to swap versions. Thanks
L-2 through L-6 use a 1mb rom chip.. L-7 and L-8 (which is a user made version of L-7 with the multiplayer bug fixed) go on a 2mb chip. W1 and W2 are the points that needed to be jumped on the board. as explained here

Yes, if you double the image first.

Quoted from Postmortem:how exactly is that done?
Assuming Windows, from a command prompt:
copy /b l6.rom+l6.rom l6x2.rom

We are a visual bunch, so photos might help

Once rejumpered, the board will still run the L-6 ROM, no need to move the jumper back.
I used the copy command and was able to double the image. I installed L-6 (after patching it with the LED ghosting fix) and everything works great! thanks all

Hopefully you patched it before doubling it...
Good job!
