Next I decided to plug the board into a game just to see if it would boot up ok and light displays etc, (only plugging in J1 and J4) so I plugged it into my Dracula and switched on.. worked no problems!! Next I decided to plug in the sound board and switch matrix so I could run the self test and check and reset everything, again no probs.
On an impulse I decided to clock up a credit and hit the credit button and launch the ball… fully expecting NOTHING to work/score the same… and… bugger me dead the gameplay/ rules were practically IDENTICAL to Dracula!!
WTF??? I mean every single switch/target did the SAME function as the Dracula MPU!!
At first I thought that this Wildfyre board must’ve had Drac ROMS in it, so.. to prove a point… I plugged in a spare Alltek MPU that I have and tried it.. first I set it for Dracula and tried it, all good. Then I did a memory clear and set it for Wildfyre and tried again… once again EXACTLY the same.
Incredible or what??!!
Oh well in any case the repairs to the original Wildfyre board were a success so I guess that’s all that matters hey??
Hope that this thread was of interest!!
