When needing to convert RGB to VGA, here is what I have found to work with the Golden Tee Fore boards.
In this post I will show you how to determine what year Golden Tee board / game you have without guessing!
You have most likely either heard or read on the internet that you can upgrade a 2001 through 2005 Golden Tee or a Buck Hunter board by simply adding a hard drive/compact flash card or changing out U53 (security IC) and have the 2006 Complete. THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE AND CANNOT BE DONE!!!!!
This page is to show the difference between the Area 51 double PCB and the Area 51 single PCB. Also, the single board can have Maximum Force; however Maximum Force cannot be installed on the double PCB unless installed as a combo kit.
This page is dedicated to helping you find corrosion on Golden Tee or Buck Hunter boards before you waste your time and money sending them in for repair. The reason for corrosion is NOT the environment such as wet basements or moisture! So dont be fooled into thinking that because its always been taken care of in a heated or dry environment your board is exempt. The corrosion forms in the layers of the boards because bad chemicals were used during the solder wave process. About 85 % of the green boards are corroded and about 50% of red boards are corroded. I can sometimes reflow the surface mount ICs and bring the board back to life. There are also instances where the corrosion has destroyed the board and its non repairable. Also keep in mind that there are 2 large main surface mounts that were custom programed for IT and are not avaiable any longer and haven't been for many years so if one of those fails (which they do ) the board will be deemed un repairable.
This section will deal with a problem that I see quite often. The boards reset intermittently or all the time. Now, this can be due to a few problems. One is low or high voltage on the plus 5 volts DC.
The picture below will show you on your red board or your green board exactly where the Eagle boot EPROM (U15) is located. You must have the version 2.09 in order to use our drives and even the drives from the manufacturer.
If you have an NFL Blitz / NBA Showtime Vegas system, you should note that it uses a Voodoo video card. The Gauntlet and or WAR Final Assault Vegas system uses an Obsidian video card, which means that you cannot run the NBA Showtime on a Gauntlet system without changing out the video card to the Voodoo card, and vise versa for the Gauntlet on the NBA Showtime system.
How to determine what version you have without guessing!
MIDWAY HAD 3 VERSIONS OF SHOWTIME 1.0. 1.5 AND 3.0 The first thing you should do to verify that you do not have a bad gun is to use the test menu and attempt to calibrate both guns. To do this, first press the self-test button in the game or the slide switch on the PCB (labeled test switch) to get the game into self-test mode.
We regret to inform you that we are no longer able to sell hard drives except for a select few that you cannot put on compact flash cards.
