That's an excellent idea, I was thinking of something similar. I have a
Black Widow
and I just acquired a Space Duel PCB with the thoughts of having a multi
vector
cab that would support Gravitar/Black Widow and Space Duel. I would like
to use
either the Space Duel or Gravitar control panel and the just add the
joysticks.

Or we could wait for an enhanced CPU get-well-kit from Clay that would
have
the ROM's mapped out to a universal cp like the Sega multi game ; )

        While thinking about how annoying it will be to make a wiring
harness to
        remap the controls from a Space Duel cabinet to a Gravitar board
(Why did
        Atari do that!!?!?! They are the same buttons!!!) I thought of
something
        else... What about disassembling the Gravitar code and changing
the part
        that assigns the buttons? Then you could have a custom set of
Gravitar
        ROMs that would allow you to just swap out the two games! Ok
all you
        hackers, does anyone know where this information is stored?
Jess, if you
        could make Major Havoc 2, this must be a breeze...right?
