SUBJECT
Our new display assembly is com-
prised of two major components:
1. DISPLAY BOARD
64Xl92 DoT MATRIX
Todd Erickson
Summit Amusement
St. Paul, Minnesota
This Display Controller uses a
68000 Microprocessor. The pro-
cessor runs at a clock speed of 12
MHz.
Two 4 MB EPROM's support the
Display Controllers graphic capa-
bilities.
Part Number 520-5075-00.
This display has its own on-Board
witching Power Supply, which
fequires a 5v DC and 18v DC in-
put.
The 18v DC is used to generate
the required high voltage of
+68Vdc and -ll0Vdc.
The manufacturers of this display
are Cherry, Babcock and Dale.
2. DISPLAY CONTROLLER BOARD
Part Number 520-5092-01
JOURNAL
Due to the increased clock speed
with the 12MHz clock, the Data
Transfer Rate has also increased
aboard the controller, requiring
faster accessing EPROM's of
120ns.
The past generation of control-
lers used a 150ns 4 MB EPROM,
and cannot be used in the new
controller.
NEW MARQUEE
Samurai Showdown II appears to
be, perhaps, the best ever
NEo•GEo game. PastNEo•GEo's
have had the problem of letting
the player know when a new
game has been installed.
You can now get a dedicated mar-
quee for this game. Well worth
the investment. Contact your dis-
tributor.
PRICING
This game should go out on 50/
50 play. Pick up 50¢ play stickers
from your distributor when you
get your new game ( they should
be included).
TEST MODE
IMPORTANT
If you don't have a test switch, use
An EPROM of 120ns or faster
must be used.
#1 to go into self test. Coin set-
tings are in software. It only takes
