List of Namco Gun Shooting PCBs & I/O Boards

[Shou]

There's plenty of info out there on the Sega side of gun shooting games but thought it would be useful if there was a Namco equivalent and for selfish reasons, I would like to know so I can complete my gun shooting board collection.


Cobra the Arcade - V221?
Dead Storm Pirates - V?
Golgo 13 1/2/3 - V?
Gun Survivior 2 - V?
Gunbullet/Point Blank - V?
Gunbarl/Point Blank 2 - GUN I/F?
Gunbalina/Point Blank 3 - ?
Ninja Assault - V222
Oh Bakyuun/Ghoul Patrol - GUN I/F?
Raizing Storm - V?
Steel Gunner - No I/O required, uses analog controls
Steel Gunner 2 - No I/O required, uses analog controls
Time Crisis - V159
Time Crisis II - V185
Time Crisis III - V221
Time Crisis IV - V?

Not Namco Made game (actually Sega Made) but still uses Namco parts/hardware

Vampire Night - Can't see a board number other then it says "JV TMIU PCB" but it's a namco pcb.

-edit-
This is what I could dig on others

Rising Storm - V349 GUNDRIVE

Time Crisis 3 - V185

Time Crisis 4 - V329

I'm not 100% but I think cobra can use the TC3 IO.

I should clarify this as Namco developed or distributed.

I'll add Vampire Night to the list.

Time Crisis III is an odd one as MAME has it documented as V221 and I'm fairly sure that V185 is Time Crisis II only. Also, the I/O boards have 1 game specific EPROM on them so I don't think any V221 will work for Cobra (I have the main board but not the I/O board).

I knew you meant only namco made but Vampire Night is that odd bit that straddles the line since Namco made Ninja Assault for Naomi and Sega did Vampire but on the flip side Vampire uses all namco hardware.

For TC3, I think I've seen that it can use/uses V185. I don't always follow what mame says because sometimes they get it wrong (or not entire info). I should add I'm the one (along with others) who has been building a proper DB on Namco System 246/256 software (Link below). Cobra I was not fully sure and just going off some second hand info by someone with a running rig. I do own the software for Cobra, TC3 & Vampire Night but only have the IO for Vampire Night (Just got it).

After a quick google search, there is someone on klov who was selling TC3 PCB (246c w/ software) and says TC3 is compatible with TC2 IO (v185)

Also Guru posted this (Look for 3rd April post) http://guru.mameworld.info/oldnews2009.html
The PCB is a V221 but the Roms say "XMIU1".
Looking at the image I can see this is the same PCB I have for Vampire Night (a sticker covers the V221 part) but my roms are TMIU1 PROG0 B (the other chip is TMIU1 PLD0, same Mame says is for TC3)

It's possible cobra could use the V221 with a different rom.

No clue. Any chance you have a picture of it?

Time crisis 4 can work on Sega ir type sensors. So would assume later gun games should also.

dead storm pirates is analogous joystick, as is dark escape.
