• PIN 1 = Common (GND)
• PIN 4 = Free
• PIN 2 = 14.6v (AC)
• PIN 5 = Free
• PIN 3 = 14.6v (AC)

Sound fix diagram here. (pdf)

from Cristian Secară Homepage:

The first release (the +3) has a fatal hardware mistake: the 128K sound output is completely distorted.

• Tech explanation: the analog output of the AY-3-8912 sound chip was intended to be amplified by a one stage common-emitter transistor. In practice, they have forgot to put a resistor to the transistor’s emitter. The result: the transistor works in switch-mode – the sound is converted from analog multi-level amplitude to digitized two-level amplitude, same as the old 48K sound system.

18  Ground (RGB switching)
19  Composite Out
20  Composite Input (Synch)    (as in 1Vpp video signal, 75ohm)
21  Common ground (shield)

Fix:

• Video Contrast problems: i have bypassed the resistor for RGB. (Photo #6)
• Jamma Connector is too big for my SNK MV-2F MVS: I have used a rasp for reduce the Jamma connector. (Photo #7)

The CheapLPC is a flashrom burner for the SST49LF020 chip, The Software can read back, and verify the contents of the chip.

The software is also compatible with any other CheapLPC based programmer, like that used in the Martrix by Xodus, Ozx Prog by OZx Modchips, Neurosys, and a few others.
