What would happen if you survived? Would the single player play out his
ship alone or would the other player come online attached or alone?
FWIW I haven't played a game on this board since I didn't get a control
panel until recently.
I never noticed any difference in the labels between 0016 and my other
boards. However, I never tried dumping the ROMs either. I will do so as
soon as I can put my EPROM reader back in my machine.
This discussion is great if it unearths a "lost" revision but it doesn't
answer the question in my message.
Should I strip the jig or should I preserve it? I'm itching to play SD
and Retrocade just doesn't cut it anymore...
