Today I received...

I got round to playing the wonder boy monster land pcb I got moons ago, just back from being repaired with a new PAL chip and other gfx issues fixed.

WOW.. Very impressed! Being a 1cc record holder at playing a straight game, I had only ever played this game on sega master system(!) and mame. The pcb plays better for sure! Main noteable is sound.. It is obvious that a whole background music channel is missing in mame, I can hear the sound brighter is constructed of twice as many notes and beaps on the pcb. - like hearing 2 keyboards playing instead of just one for example.

Gfx are much the same, I can see the resolution is very slightly different and there is zero screen tear. Gameplay is much the same, speed is similar. No pause button is a pain!

Looking forward to getting a new high score with a proper pcb.
My board is an english boot I suppose the non boot jap version will play even better?

Glad you got it running at last, it is totally different playing the pcb and a great game....err why did I ever sell it?

I never put it in test mode, didn't know it did that... Good for a quick practice run but must make the first few levels piss easy!

You'd better be treating it nicely Ben
