RE: Road Runner test mode?

One rub, now that I have the board working it looks like the rom checksums are stored in H and replacing E with the road runner image results in a failure of self test.

 

So I suspect there is also a road runner version of H.

Sounds like it has 8K (1k x 8) roms 2708 or equivalent

The other three roms are in desertgu

And in follow-up. Quarterarcade signature generator doesn’t find this game. So I went to try to track down the roms. I have found a couple of sites with roadrunm.zip but it only has a single rom in it.

9316.1e which is about 2k in size.

 

The board I here is using all 8 sockets. It is strapped for what appears to be 7609’s.

 

Anyone know a good source for the roms on this?

 

Thanks,

David

As I am on an 8080 kick I grabbed a Road Runner to test. Mowermans old page says switches 7,8 off is test mode. Setting them and booting results in a modified rug which eventually ends. It ends up with a set of vertical bars and nothing else.

 

Anyone know how this test mode is supposed to work?

 

Thanks,

David
