by ajrieder. Comment: "Very fun, played it at the Country Inn and Suites in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Challenging, but high scores are very attainable with a little luck and a gun upgrade. Two players also fun." (2003-02-12 09:46:21Z)

Name Of Game: Cabal (joystick version) From: Clive Bittlestone (clyvb@asic.sc.ti.com) - I can not take any responsibility for the accuracy of this information, although I was careful. It claims to be standard JAMMA, but lettering is different, and button 3 is used for the test and service sw rather than the JAMMA "Button3" (X,24) - Modified from Tim Tewalt's original JAMMA pinout. - Thanks to Jeff Ranlett for faxing me a copy of this data. - I do not have the pinout for the trackball version yet,

Howdy These are the DIP switch settings for the Cabal PCB, as determined by trial & error on my part. I _assume_ these settings probably also work for Blood Brothers, since that was a direct sequel of Cabal (same darn game, just w/ different graphics). Note, I do not guarantee their accuracy and if your board goes up in smoke because you followed this list or your dog runs away or anything else, IT IS NOT MY FAULT! If you have any questions, you can reach me (Jason Dante Bardis) at jasonbar@engineering

--- 720 --- (Contributor: unknown) In the ramp section, levels 8, 9, and 10: holding down the kick and jump buttons simultanously on the lip of the ramp will boost your air. This trick only works when you're going the correct speed (usually your third or fourth jump), and only once (as far as I can tell) per ramp session per level. ----------- Afterburner ----------- (Contributor: Anthony D.

I'm just going to start putting up all kinds of information that I've had archived away, so please pardon the mess! :) Identifying Unknown Board Sets Back in 1994, Rick Schieve wrote an article about how to identify unknown boards. This article gives some quick tips on how to figure out what the pinouts are for an unknown PCB. The text is moderately technical so if you're not sure what R
