Keep in mind that this pre-dated flash-based hard drive replacement kits, and it just stuck. I chose a name that (at the time) explicitly stated the purpose of the ROM. I discovered that non-US machines shipped with different hard drives, and this ROM seemed to work for any IDE hard drive I used. There is nothing special about the KI “Any-IDE” ROM.It is a ROM that allowed operators to use an IDE hard drive replacement that was not the Seagate ST9150AG that shipped with KI machines.It would be years before IDE to CompactFlash adapters existed. These ROMs should not be in MAME, they are not interesting variants and time has made the name irrelevant.“Any-IDE” is simply: A KI/KI2 ROM that allows you to use “any” IDE hard disk with your KI or KI2 arcade hardware.The motherboard knows where the video for Riptor is because it is always at a given cylinder, head, and sector.KI doesn’t have a filesystem like Linux, macOS, or Windows.The interface these drives used is known as an IDE interface.KI and KI2 shipped with physical hard drives.If you are doing this once/year – maybe … I found it to be a huge PITA. Even if you are careful, you will inevitably break/damage a leg on a ROM. To swap between the games you will have to swap (9) EEPROMs.If you want to play KI2, save your money and find a dedicated KI2 PCB.Is it worth trying to find an interface PCB? Sacrifice a blasphemous arcade conversion and pray to Gargos.Usenet (aka Google Groups): .collecting.I want to convert my KI to KI2 – how do I find an interface PCB? This component is very rare and can be difficult/expensive to find/buy.It is the updated hard drive controller for the larger KI2 hard drive.The Killer Instinct 2 hard drive controller/interface PCB was part of factory Midway kits that allowed operators to convert KI to KI2.What is the Killer Instinct conversion kit interface/hard drive controller PCB? You must swap all (8) sound ROMs and replace them with KI2 ROMs.This ROM is available as part of a hard drive replacement kit or via the Downloads page. You must use the boot ROM specifically for KI 2 conversion hardware.Without this component, it is not possible. You must have a Killer Instinct 2 hard drive controller/interface PCB to convert a KI PCB to KI2.Identify your hardware and what kit you need using this link/imageĬan I convert my Killer Instinct PCB to play Killer Instinct 2? Conversion motherboard (a KI board + conversion kit).Dedicated motherboard (only plays KI2, can not be converted to play KI).Killer Instinct is easy, there’s just one kit.How do I know which Killer Instinct kit to purchase for my hardware?
