0 Hewitson Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm confused about this, I can't find any mention of an arcade version of river raid anywhere. Wonder if someone made a bootleg of the atari 2600 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dmworking247 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Largely off-topic, but if there's anybody out there who does homebrew Wii games, I'd love to see a 'special' version of River Raid where you use the Wii balance board to fly your plane, and dual (2) wii remotes to aim your turrets around the screen. Man I'd be fit (or exhausted) after the first level :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Administrators furballx Posted October 22, 2008 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Could not find any pinout in my bookmarked sites, but this site will be a help if you need to start from scratch. Dave. http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/spies.cgi?action=url&type=info&page=Identify-unknown-boards.txt Just thinking, there is a game almost identical in gameplay, but with a waterskier (I think). MAME info shows River Patrol as a bootleg only. Was it a boot of the WS game with changed characters? A pin of the WS game might give you a start point.

0 dezbaz Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . Well it has 18 pins x 2 The pins are correct, IE the numbers line up (From coinop.com) Thank you http://members.iinet.net.au/~getderrick/SilverLandPinoutsSM.jpg INCORRECT Thanks for the Good idea Dave, it's a winner! I just have to change the Letters to numbers as this one is labelled up to 36 NOT ABC etc Edited October 11, 2009 by dezbaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never gave any though to the UP-DOWN problem. Gotta be worth a look at as a start point. As long as you have the voltages and ground hooked up OK you should be alright. Dave.

0 dezbaz Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 All the voltages are the same , gnd's etc too It's almost exactly like Ckong Alca except in total reverse. IE The solder side and Parts side are reversed AND the numbers go opposite too as a result of that. I have run out of 36 pin Connectors so I will have to order some first Thanks for your help Mate! I will post up the final result in time . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dezbaz Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hi Guys Latest update I made a harness - only with 5+ 12+ Gnd and Video RGB & Sync - And coin I get red lines very faint on a black screen (Identical on both boards) meaning it is a harness problem I am guessing the RGB is incorrect ??

0 dezbaz Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 I sent this board to AK (Travis), he fixed it. (Thanks Travis) Then I made an adapter incorrectly, and blew up the RAM on the board (I had the 12V on both sides of the 18 pin side of the harness, when it was meant to be 12V on only 1 side :redface :( I corrected the harness problem, and turned it on and got a BAD RAM message I replaced the RAM after ordering some from the states (Funny size) I had to cut down a larger socket to fit the RAM into it. Fired it up and . . . . .

0 dezbaz Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Correct Pinouts for this board (2 board set with a "36" on edge connector) http://www.dsbelec.iinet.net.au/RiverPatrolPinoutsV2.jpg Edited December 13, 2010 by dezbaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hal9000 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 which i think you will find is very close to the Phoenix/Pleiades pinout... One question though, why would you number the connector so cack-handedly? is it screened like this on the pcb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andrew Great to have you on AA The 36 appears there on the board CLICK TO ENLARGE http://www.dsbelec.iinet.net.au/RiverPatrolPCB-HiRes-36sm.jpg Any advice you can give me on this PCB repair? Have you seen a black background on a RP board before? Thank you for the reply Secondly, I logged the pinouts that way (Back to front) to allow them to compare with the Pinouts left by Arcade King earlier in the thread :) Edited October 18, 2009 by dezbaz Auto Merged Double Post.

0 dezbaz Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 OK Today I worked on this board I wanted to narrow this down so I took the Bottom BAD board and fitted it to the Top GOOD Board I got a split screen, but not garbage - Part of the game and title was visible But my point is, the Background was black on this test Now my logic is, if the Top GOOD Board was common to both tests, then the top board is causing the black background. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
