Twinkle Star Sprites Conversion Project

This is a cool and downright whimiscal vertical shooter for the Neo Geo platform. Unfortunately, the game is a bit pricey for those looking for the home format (non-CD) version of the game. Well, if you've got the right Neo Geo home SAC cartridge and a loose MVS Twinkle Star Sprites around (please don't do this conversion if it is part of a full kit). A loose battered cart is fair game though. ;-)

Remove the V, P, S, M, and C chips from the sacrifice NGH boards. The sacrificial home cart for this project is Samurai Shodown III.
Remove the V, P, S, M and C chips from the Twinke Star Sprites MVS cartridge. Place them in their corresponding locations on the sacrifice NGH boards. Solder them up nice and clean, take your time. Congratulations, you're ALMOST done. Match the jumper settings to the table below.

The jumpers listed are "on" ... if you do not see a jumper listed in the table then it is "off" ... o'tay?
