Future Spy Pinouts Note: this is adapted from David Holcomb's very thorough Zaxxon pinouts file. See game_archive/boardPinots/Zaxxon.pin on wiretap.spies.com for more info. Future Spy belongs to the small Zaxxon family of boards (Zaxxon, Super Zaxxon, and Future Spy) that all run off of the same hardware. Although Super Zaxxon requires a small extra soundboard, Future Spy _appears_ to be nothing more than a straight ROM swap away from an original Zaxxon board. There are only 2 small differences between

O-Taito is the Old Taito pinout on wiretap. N-Taito is the New-Taito pinout (Like Elevator Action). Quote by R. Schieve: "Taito.pin will match most for power, ground, monitor, and speaker connections but inputs are usually quite different." DECO/Data East is the Data East pinout.

FUTURE SPY DIP SWITCH SETTINGS ------------------------------ Howdy Here are the DIP switch settings for Future Spy (grandson of Zaxxon), as typed in by me (jasonbar@engineering.ucsb.edu). Note that, I hereby declare that I can not be held accountable for your machine exploding (or doing anything less drastic but still bad) if you set your switches as described here. BTW, I was surprised to notice that these are totally different from the Zaxxon.sw file here on wiretap...Also, note that the red switc

Zaxxon Sega/Gremlin, 1982 Other boards with the same pinouts (with the exception of some control inputs): Congo Bongo Future Spy Super Zaxxon The original posting of this pinout had the parts side and solder side reversed. This version of the pinout fixes that error and discusses how to change to composite sync from positive to negative JAMMA compatible. Thanks to Rick Schieve for pointing this out. The schematic that shows the settings for this switch (SW4) is in the Zaxxon manual, drawing num
