i find it fascinating that someone has the knowledge for these kind of things, i really like the konami games from the 80's / 90's era and games like TMNT, Asterix & Obelix, The Simpsons Arcade Game, Devil World, and many others i can't think of right now

When I first entered the scene, I never thought games like Doom or Marvel freaking Super Heroes vs Street Fighter would make it before TMNT Arcades. Really speaks to the complexity of those Konami boards and how important it is to get it right on the Nano! To some degree you could say I under-estimated how intricate these Konami boards that ran beat-em-ups are. I'm sure Furttek will do a good job.

By the time this is ready, I will have my OG Arcade Cab completed by then. Which, isn't bad...just kinda funny. Hopefully, this will lead to TMNT in Time as that board is freaking expensive.

It’s going to be complete mayhem if/when my three boys and I get to play 4-player co-op TMNT at some point. Fingers crossed!

Do any other games run on this board, or is it just TMNT?

Looking at MAME, the closest games I see to TMNT are Cue Brick, M.I.A., and Punk Shot, but I don't think any of them would be a simple ROM swap. Punk Shot's sound hardware is closer to Sunset Riders, Turtles in Time, and The Simpsons (including a K053260 rather than a K007232), and the others seem to have their K052109s wired a bit differently.

Basically, it might not make sense for some of the other games in the list to actually share a core with TMNT. They're still relevant to Furrtek's work analyzing these chips.

System16's page warns the konami groupings are a bit fast and loose, the "TNMT based" page shows several different chips per entry.

TMNT is amazing, just wondering if this is part of a plan to do more Konami games like Simpsons and X-Men

if they share the same chips then probably yes, read the patreon post, he elaborates quite a lot on what his goals currently are.

Yup, here it is for those to lazy/busy to look!

"Aliens, Block Hole, Cue Brick, Gang Busters, Gradius 3, Missing in Action, Punk Shot, and Super Contra all share the same chips (apart from the CPU) so those may come in quick succession once the TMNT core is fully debugged."
