Post by: Digimon on April 01, 2014, 07:43:25 PM

Hi Guys,

on the search for a missing MM6221AA I found this,

a replacement with an EPSON 7910CG. Anyone knows if this a good Workaround?
Looks not so complicated.

It works much like the Panasonic part, same music. Watch for the last letters of the chip code - it indicates the music that's programmed into it. IIRC I have one that plays different music tracks. The 7910 replacement is fairly common on 3rd party boards (none-US) boards.

I've already bought some stuff from them, very good international service.

A friend of mine has a phoenix board with MN6221AB chip. Another melodies. I think very rare.

Thanks friends!

I will try some chips from arcadechips.

When i find time i will make an ecad file from the adapter board to keep the layout for the future.

@vernimark, what melodies are on the MN6221AB chip?

I've got 2 Phoenix boards (one says GGI on the board, I think the other has GGI on the screen when you're playing). Anyway, neither melody chip works, one has the little daughterboard with the 7910, the other has the MN6221AA. Most of the Phoenix's I've played where the music works play Für Elise when you blow up the mothership and a different tune at the start. I've seen one that played Greensleeves when you started a game. I don't know what chip that one had in it though, but it was a real Phoenix machine, not a bootleg (although I have no idea if the board itself was original or not)
