i tried a battlezone single rom hack once, but failed miserably, with my
fluke i was reading the roms in the wrong order and all over the place.. the
pcb did work beforehand...

probably down to a bit of mis-wiring or an incorrect interperetation of the
instructions i was using.. you never know.. i might dust it off soon as i
have 7-8 boardsets kicking around oing very little that i could do to turn
into workers for machiens/favours i owe :)
