Aftermarket System 1 CPU boards
Two aftermarket CPU boards replace the original. The Ni-Wumpf board covers every System 1 game through a DIP switch and runs rewritten code, so some rules differ slightly, but its tests are much better. The Pi-1 board stays closer to the original rules and is set to the game in software at first boot; a combined version also replaces the driver, power supply and sound boards.
