What needs to be replaced to convert an existing 3902 board 17" cabinet model I game into a 044 board I Game?
Is it worth making the change for the newer games and using an adapter for my small collection of 3902 based games?
What am I looking at pricewise?
And is it an easy swap for someone not technilogically savy?
Thanks, Jim

To upgrade to 044 you need the MPU board(s) and motherboard/backplane. The 044 boards have a daughter board that goes on top of the main board that takes EPROM/SIMMs for 039 software. Alternatively, there are flashed boards that are game specific. The board sets run around $300-350 if bought as a set. (We have them priced separately on the site, but bought as a package we sell for $350).

So essentially about $350 to convert it over.
And if I have 3902 games, I could just use them until I got a game specific flashed board?
Does this sound right?
Thanks, Jim

Yep!  yes

And the game-specific flash boards run about $300 each for the 256mb (green), not sure how much the 128mb run. A couple months ago I sold a game kit with the glass and 128mb flash board for $300.

And to be clear... it isn't too difficult to do?
Household tools could accomplish the conversion?
Thanks, Jim

Phillips screw driver should be all you need...the motherboard screws into the same holes as the "old" one.  yes

it should if your using a 044 flash board, but if your using a memory board with your 3902 games then it will still be what the 3902 game was
