Bootleg Rygar chip identification?

[P-Man]

hi all..

Bootleg Rygar with a unique pinout, so i'd have to make up an adapter for it, i'm not goign to cos there's a hole wherea chip of some sort should be... can anyone identify what sort of IC should be in this position? its just to the right of the roms, judging by the way the pins are pushed in on the socket, i fear it may be a custom IC daughterboard, if so, this is going straight for the scrap pile... but you never know any ideas? or should it go straight to scrap?

I've got a feeling that I have that Rygar boot, but I thought mine was the normal booty pinout....or was it? Maybe Fav on J+ found the pinout for me then I made an adaptor??

Anyway could you do me a pic of the other side on here, I shall dig it out tomorrow, I also need to dig out bomberman for a pic for Ben76 so I shall do both when I'm home tomorrow if that helps?

I'm not in the least worried about the pinout... i can work that out in 2 mins..

just want to now what the chip is.. i think its going to be a custom though, so a lost cause.

I know your not worried about the pinout, what I meant was if I have the same board then I can find out what lives there, I think mine has got a tiny daughter board there but I can confirm tomorrow if you want?

The hardware on the bottom pcb is the same across all pcbs, clones and real ones... but if you insist on seeing the top pcb :

Bin It!

Fix a Defender CPU instead,mucho needio

Andy, the bootlegs all tend to have a daughterboard plugged into that socket.

There are several different versions (slightly differently populated) and at least two different sizes: 40pins and 42 pins.

Originals have an M60002 sprite controller there.

If it's the same (you decide)

Then yeah it has got a daughtboard there, here's some pics for ref:-

aherm I could be that scrap pile

Mine does have a slight gfx fault, and if yours is ok it would cure my problem?
I'd pay postage?
Worth an ask, understand if you wanna keep it for spare chips, saying that if yours is ok i'd post mine to you?
Anyway glad I could help
