Title: HELP please! Installing Tutles in Time in my original Turtles cabinet (4 player) Post by: mjspiegel on March 02, 2016, 09:13:18 am Hello!
I own the original Ninja Turtles arcade. I recently bought the sequel, Turtles in Time. The games use the same style joystick and a two button gameplay. I was excited to install the board, so I switched all the cables over and flipped on the power. The title screen came up and I was able to add credits, but I was not able to select any of the characters to start the game. I switched back to the original jamma and everything worked as expected. Does anyone know what I have to do? I figured this was an easy swap and play..... Thanks!

Your credit will credit-up the character associated with the coin-chute you dumped your coin into. You can get this board modded to be the 2-player version that allows you to choose characters.

It was sold to me as the 4 player version. I did a little researching after I posted this, and it sounds like my version might be an Asia ADA. I'm not overly familiar with this, but apparently I need to add a wire from the start button connector to the jump or attack button. Hopefully this is easy.... I haven't found anywhere that says how to do that.
I also found this tidbit: "some of the Konami 4P boards had dip switches (soft IIRC) to tell it if there is a Start button wired up)" I'm not familiar with dip switches. I was hoping to simply plug in my TiT and have it work with my current setup.... Thanks!

What is a UAA rom and were do I get them? It also turns out that the ADA version of this board only coined up using 2 slots. That explains why my 3 and 4 slots were not working. I guess the players used a "pool" of credits rather than individualized credits.
Has anyone else had a ADA Turtles in Time pcb that needed a start button? If so, how did you handle it? Thanks! |
