Yea, my game was originally a GT 2002, but the board wouldn't get past the EPROM screen where it detected the HD. I found a 2005 board/HD on Ebay which came with everything (PCB, HD, security chip, 2.08 EPROM) and that works in the cabinet. I also took a 2.09 EPROM I bought from arcade-service and that works in the 2005 board no problem as well. From what i've read as long as you have a 2.09 EPROM and a security chip/HD for the year you are trying to play it will work on any PCB. This makes sense because my broken PCB is identical to the 2005 I bought... just the serial number is much higher obviously.
[edit] Not that big a
if I get it working just would have been cool to switch between both versions.
