LF: Stern Bowler Eprom Image
HobbyRoms
This is probably a long shot,
but I'm looking for the eprom images for a Stern Bowler.
From what I can see, this "may" be a prototype machine
because I can not find any info on it anywhere.
It is NOT a Black Beauty nor a Spares & Strikes.
(It only says "Bowler", and was made by Stern )
It does however use the Stern MPU-200 board.
It has four 2716 eproms. (U1, U2, U5, U6)
From the remains on the labels, I can see :
TKG4-V 3Nt (U1)
TKG4-C 3Ot (U2)
TKG4-V 3Pt (U5)
?????? (U6)
If anyone has any info, or better yet,
copies of these eprom images, I would very grateful.
(remove spam header or reply back to info .AT. hobbyroms DOT com )
Thanks,
Steph

Looks like someone erased and reburned Donkey Kong EPROMS.

U6 must be TKG4-C 3Ft ........ Sorry I just had to be a smart a$$
but seriously have you done a compare on the roms (that you can read)
with other game roms for the MPU-200?
dragster73
front of the game? It was made by Monroe in the eighties. I had one at one
time and i remember saving the software.

A big *Thank you* for saving that bowler !
The EPROM image you provided us was:
- the correct one for that 'obscure' Stern (Monroe) bowler;
- it fixed the problem !
(the actual problem was that the original bowler U5 EPROM,
although apparently having the proper image (when Steph of
HobbyRoms looked at it), was not working properly in-circuit;
I knew the EPROMs were the problem since the MPU flashed
only 5 times instead of 7; yet, with the EPROMs from my Stern
Catacomb pinball (U1, U2, U5, U6, all also 2716),
the same MPU was working fine).
Also Many Thanks to Steph at HobbyRoms for the post,
and for programming the EPROMs for me!
Regards,
- Sylvain.
