Golden Axe suicide resurrection


Ric

Question

I have read (at Tim / arcadecollecting.com's site) that some Golden Axes have the dreaded suicide 6800 MPU on them and that they may be able to be resurrected using alternate EPROMS

 

Has anyone undertaken this or know if its possible?

 

Cheers

If you check out the Charles MacDonalds "Dead Battery Society" pages then that tell you what versions dont have the MPU. I think that the only one that is able to be re-vived was the Jap version.

It's possible to resurrect a board with a dead FD1094 by getting a kit from http://www.segaresurrection.com.

 

Alternatively, if the board is still running you can carefully remove the aluminium plate from the top of the FD1094 and replace the battery. You need to use a helper battery to keep the FD1094 ram powered while you change over the battery though. Its not hard, you just need to have nerves of steel.

 

You'll have to repeat this process in 10 years or so though.
