There is hope yet for this machine, thanks to John (patching) and Tony (supply/writing the roms) we may have the gamecard sorted 🤞, fingers crossed I can then get to work restoring her back to something to be proud of. Its just up to Bob to sort her brain out (no pressure Bob its heading your way MONDAY! 😬 to be fair the MPU3 looks very clean and very original, so I am quietly optimistic). The alpha never worked but Mick is looking at that for me, if not I can source one I am sure or use an early MPU4. Here is a pic of her, the bottom of cab is pretty shot but hopefully I can sort with a new plinth/patch work. Front cash door was totally rotten (what was left of it stuck silde in the bottom rail, like rotted cardboard) - the rest I think will be OK, some minor artwork blemishes but nothing in all honesty compared to many machines I've see. Inside is a right mess but its just from years and years AND YEARS of cold damp storage in a shed.

Hi guys, recently bought an mpu5 gamecard labelled "RAM CLEAR" but it doesn't work and i need help/advice. The service manual says when the card is installed it will beep repeatedly until complete, when the ram is cleared and meters reset. Inserting this card just illuminates the red light on mpu as if no card is installed. I inspected inside, (its a repurposed party animal gamecard) ram clear rom P1 and P2 were installed but noone had removed Party Animal P3 and P4 roms. Removed those - didn't help. Transferred P1 and P2 roms to a known working gamecard, still nothing. Was there a matching pic chip this ram clear card needed? As the pics still the Party Animal one. I'm convinced this card never actually did anything as it wasn't right from day 1 by whoever made it. Sellers a decent guy, i think he's offering to re-burn the two roms however in the same message he says it does illuminate red light mpu5 light. I had one of these cards before - iit definately beeped whilst clearing and the red constant led is definately a no card installed indication. I don't want to upset the seller, can anyone verify if there should be a pic chip for the ram clear files? I have just aquired the files below, can anyone verify what the third file is or help me out to get this going just to save wasting the sellers time if he can only burn the two rom files and not a pic chip? (if thats what the 3rd file is???) Many thanks mpu5clr.p1 mpu5clr.p2 clr4

And the last 😉
