On this cold sunday morning, i decided to go in the basement to get some milk for breakfast. Suddenly on my way back uppstairs, Sinterklaaske36 appeared himsef !! He looked at me and said with a strong eastern accent :

Like any kid receiving a gift , i rushed to open the gift ! And what a gift ! a outrun control panel . THANKS SINTERKLAASKE36

And even a original sega pengo pcb

And the "plat de resistance" a complete Turbo outrun pcb coming from the abandonned warehouse. I asked this to sinterklaas in order to try to fix my original outrun pcb as turbo outrun is just a upgrade of the original.

The pcb still looks good despite his storage condition. It's a suicidal pcb, so i did not have much fate , but i decided to give it a try

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA it's working with full sound !!! I'm so happy , that means my outrun cab will have a outrun pcb soon :)
Many many thanks Sinterklaaske36 !!
ps: fyi , Sinterklaas is a tradition here in BE,NL,FR .On the evening of the 5th december , if you've been a good kid and if you left some milk (my father prefered beer ^^) and carrots near the firepit , the next day in the morning, sinterklaas will reward you with toys and candies.

LOOOOOOOOL!!! ;D ;D ;D
Sinterklaas made a miracle with that pcb, there was about 1% chance, that it is still in working condition! ;D ;D ;D
My girlfriend laughed out her ass in the first pic. ;D

France ? Do they really have Sinterklaas in France ?
I do know about Belgium and I think maybe the western part of Germany too ?
Great thing that it works ! Can you convert it back to Outrun ?

SinterKlaas is the best tradition there is!

Cooool! Turbo Outrun!!
It's quite normal that the PCB is working: you should know that Saint Nicolas brings defect toys only to very naughty boys ;D
-
We also have the similar tradition in Hungary called Mikulás (Santa Claus)! ;D
The kids love it, they put their cleaned shoes to the window on the 5th of December and they find it with full of candies in the next morning! ;D

:P fun and destiny ! to see that a suicide game ! survived in an abandoned warehouse and found a new destin-ation ;D

i think it's only in north of france.
It can be converted back to an outrun as it seems that turbo outrun is just a roms swap according to this manual http://tamdb.net/index.php?page=ManualDetail&id=3216
Considering that my faulty pcb outrun passed the rom check, it should be easy :p
now i'm hesitating a bit to kill the turbo , but the prequel is better, and nothing prevent me to get the decrypted roms of turbo outrun later
