TriviaIShinobiI in Japanese means stealing into spy sneak thief surreptitious visit to house of ill repute.PThe Chinese character displayed on the title screen and in a few other places in the game is the character for Shinobi in Japanese.FixesA common problem with Shinobi boards is that the board works fine, but the game no longer has sound. The problem is caused by a dead or dying battery that is embeded inside the custom glob located on the motherboard. The common fix is to replace the custom glob with a Z80 CPU and update the image found on the B boards A7 ROM. The updated image can be found on many ROM image sitesLegacy
