Shown are 2 BK2K MPU's. On the first pic (with wooden dowel batteries), there is a jumper between U49 and the diagnostic lights on the board. On the other pic (with removed battery holder) the jumper appears to have been snipped away. Can someone tell me what that jumper is for, and if it being gone is a problem? Both games seem to play fine, but curious as to why the jumper would have been snipped away on the one. Thanks

The W7 jumper connects PIA U41 PA7 pin to ground, without jumper it is pulled up to +5V. That is for some software option to read.

I dont know what it is used for, but if the game works with or without, it is probably for some feature that is not used in BK2K.

Edit: OK, DumbAss just told it is for language selection in some multi language game roms. Thanks!

So pinwiki said this...

W7 - Language Select Jumper

W7 is used only in games up to Cyclone. Games with 16 digit alphanumeric displays do not use this jumper. If installed, the game automatically reverts to English after losing the content of the RAM. If a different language is preferred, the "adjustments" menu provides an option to change the default language. Only a few early System 11 game ROMs contained multiple languages. For these games, if W7 is removed, the game generally defaults to German text.

Later System 11 games used language specific ROMs at U26 and U27.

It appears BK2K does not use this jumper. Awesome! Thanks for the guidance.
