EXCITING RESEARCH (WOW!)

I LIKE TO MESS AROUND WITH MY ARCADE BOARDS. SOLDERING THINGS AND STICKING PROBES INTO THEM IS FUN!
I HAVE SOME RESEARCH IN THE CYBERSPACE AT GITHUB.
SOME OTHER STUFF IS ON MY BLOG.

SOME COOL PROJECTS ARE:

---

CV1000 JTAG!

DO YOU WANT TO:

• Dump roms without soldering?
• Upgrade firmware revision of your games?
• Fuck around with the EEPROM?
• Be super cool?

Then maybe JTAG is right for you! All information is here!

Here is a very exciting video of upgrading a Mushihime board. WOW!

CV1000 U13 CUSTOM FIRMWARE?!?

Have the internal memory of your U13 CPLD died? Well I was bored and reverse engineered how it works and made a custom replacement. Will anyone ever need this? I don't know, maybe? It was pretty fun though!

This project took me several months to figure out and finish. Was that time well spent? PROBABLY NOT, but I still enjoyed it. HERE YOU GO

CV1000 BLITTER PERFORMANCE

Blitter delay on CV1000 boards is complicated. I spent a lot of time looking at it and wrote a big chunky sexy pdf about it here.
There are some follow-ups on my blog, like this as well.

CV1000 U2 FLASH REPLACEMENT

Normally these boards only want K9F1G08U0M NAND Flash placed at U2, and other devices will not work. With this hack you can use any NAND with right pinout instead. No need to hunt obsolete chips on aliexpress!
Info is at github

CV1000 DATASHEETS

Here are datasheets for all(?) IC's used on CV1000 boards. Useful when researching stuff!
