Honestly, I would try to find a system 3-6 board to use instead. System 7 boards are hard to find, and it seems kind of counterintuitive to convert one to put in a system 3 game.

I'm sure someone would be more than happy to make a trade for a system 3-6 board.

Quoted from cody_chunn:

Hmmm...well, it was "free", and that's really important these days. Something to consider...

There's also your own time to consider trying to get it to work.

Quoted from cody_chunn:

My thinking was that the Sys7 board would be that many years younger and maybe more dependable.

Nope, there's really no difference in reliability. Adding too many modifications or hacks to an otherwise reliable board is what would make it less reliable, regardless of age.

Get a board meant for your game--you'll have fewer headaches.

Now I'm even more glad I undertook this unique endeavor.
But Force Flow was right...shoulda just swapped the board for an earlier one. But I'm in neck deep now I'm gonna see it to the finish line (if I can)!

Hope you're successful with it. It may help the next person who decides they want to tackle something similar.

I've had my fair share of challenge projects. They're fun to dive into occasionally, but they're called challenges for a reason.

All I got was an ad for WinZip? Thanks, though.

Sounds like you have the trial version of winzip installed on your computer. Uninstall it. Windows can open zip files without needing 3rd-party software.
